What's with the conjoined cat pic?
I like my teflon pans, but dislike not being able to use metal cookware (I melt plastic so I end up using wood instead) My favorite pan is a well seasoned cast iron pan, easy to cook and with easy to clean. Though if it gets really yucky I cheat a little, put the oven on warm, wash it in warm soapy water (I know castiron and soapy water are "bad") dry it, coat it in olive oil and put it in the warm oven for a little bit. Cast iron nazis would hang me, but that's what I like to do with it, and it works well.Xelebes said:A pot that is a bit easier to cook with or a pot that is a bit easier to clean?
I have a metal pot that has it's lid handle fallen off with the screw sticking out that helps us a bit to use what otherwise render the pot useless. It is also very easy to clean. In the other corner we have a creamic/pottery/whatever pot that has a slightly chipped bottom but the handle by no means has fallen off. The chipped bottom makes it harder to clean.
Which would you prefer to cook with knowing that you had to clean it after?
easy to clean...but you have to oil em when you are done.Marquis said:How are you supposed to clean cast iron?
yep. you also add iron to your diet by using them to cook.Marquis said:So you clean it like a regular dish, then oil it to prevent rusting?
I've wanted to use cast iron cookware in the past and been warned against it because of the cleaning process.

ever heard of brillo? lol i cook in em all the time. i have even tossed them in the dishwasher, had to rinse and oil them after anyway so i just wash them and dry them right away and a little oil rubbed in before they go away. and btw you need to oil them and put them in the oven before you use them if you dont want anything to stick, its called seasoning them... make meatballs or cacciatore in anything else and its just not the same.Marquis said:And how exactly is this so easy to clean?
Won't things stick to it since the surface isn't treated with some Dupont chemical? Then you have to oil it down?
Doesn't sound very fucking easy to clean!

i PREFER 'ordering out'.Xelebes said:A pot that is a bit easier to cook with or a pot that is a bit easier to clean?
i'd pick a pot that is a bit easier to clean (i like my Farberware ... 12 years old, easy to clean .... and still 'newish' looking).Xelebes said:Which would you prefer to cook with knowing that you had to clean it after?
lol isn't that what the slave girl is for?Marquis said:My uncle uses cast iron, and you're right, it does come out different.
The food snob in me wants to get down, but the bum in me knows I will be ingesting rust in a month.
LOL, so you clean it the same way I do. I've been told it's not the right way and that dishwashers and soap can terribly ruin the season, but I haven't noticed too much. IMO cast iron is the best for just about everything.Kajira Callista said:ever heard of brillo? lol i cook in em all the time. i have even tossed them in the dishwasher, had to rinse and oil them after anyway so i just wash them and dry them right away and a little oil rubbed in before they go away. and btw you need to oil them and put them in the oven before you use them if you dont want anything to stick, its called seasoning them... make meatballs or cacciatore in anything else and its just not the same.
