I know this is a man site, dedicated to a man's hobby,...

I think we have quite a few folks of both genders that might disagree with you.
(man card fully intact, thank you!)

*cough, cough* A man's site and a man's hobby? Well then, I better get my husband to start making the brews then. I'll watch him while eating bonbons and drinking some IPA. Actually, sounds really good on bottling days...

 

[CreamyGoodness]

Oh God Whine, youre a lady?! I wouldnt have told that tick story if I thought to check!

 

[Slyko]

I would never argue with SWMBO. Never! She keeps my card under lock & key!

if the oil isn't to dirty just wipe it off with paper towel and put it away..

 

[CreamyGoodness]

With this method, will food cooked the next day taste like fish if I made salmon in it the night before?

when did it become 1957 in here?

 

[JeepDiver]

Dude,

It's not for me. I don't hate. I'm not trying to dis you. As noted, this whole issue is rather petty.

Step back. This is an opportunity to learn.

It's OK. You've already seen it. Good for you. I'm out!

Apperently you are not enough of a Man to realize good Cast Iron is a Tool. Just like a table saw, Big Freaking Screwdriver, or a Sawzal, it has to be respected and treated right. I guess your wife controls the tools in your house, just like she controls your man card

Oh, did all the good posts get deleted? That's no fun.

Guess we're back on topic then. We made hot dogs on the GForeman last night. Didn't wash the tool before or after it was used. Dang they were good, 'specially since it had a nice patina of turkey burger residue from the previous night.

That's gross. You can clean teflon with a paper towel like you would cast iron. Add salt if you have some stuck on gunk.
Oh and cast iron works just fine on a glass top stove...I did it for years.

Exactly! This is a man's site and a man's hobby. Everybody knows that. Apparently women can't brew.

I can give back my man card at any time. Oh, wait. I never got one.

I have two perfect cast iron skillets, and two perfect baking "stones" that are well seasoned and completely non-stick. It took many many years to get them that way!

 

[landshark]

Went camping on a float trip and brought my huge Cast-Iron pan, woke up next morning for breakfast and found at time GF and her friend soaking it in soapy water to "clean" to use for breakfast. Pretty soon the whole camp was awake from my yelling at the two "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY PAN!!!!!"

She learned quick after that morning.

 

[CreamyGoodness]

I tend to find myself on the couch when I raise my voice to SWMBO.

 

[bubbachunk]

Dude................. time to man up!

She watched YOUR kids so YOU could earn some extra $$$ for YOUR hobby. She even fed YOUR kids.

And you're upset because YOUR pan was cleaned but not the way YOU like it? WTF?

Priorities man. Priorities. I know this is a man site, dedicated to a man's hobby, but YOU sound ridiculous. YOUR Man-Card has now been revoked.

How are YOU gonna get it back? Ripping me a new one is not how YOU are gonna do it.

I think you are taking this far too seriously and do not understand the time and care it takes to well season some cast iron.

 

[Slyko]

Here's a trick my Italian mom taught me with cast iron skillets. Clean the heck outta it. Comet & a brillo pad. Rinse it off.

Then put 1/4 inch of olive oil in it. Bake that pan in the oven @ 350 degrees for 10 or 15 minutes. Open the windows & turn a fan on. It's gonna smoke. Pull it out and rinse it off.

You've just cleaned & cured your pan.

I do it all the time but I cook up a bunch of bacon first to get a good layer of fat. It is almost like deep frying them.

I didn't even bother to read past this point. Bacon fat saturated hot dogs.

Heaven.

Indeed. Then when they are done I wrap them in a slice of provolone
