the Cast



Gawd only knows just how old my cast iron skillet is.



Tonight I made us Salisbury Steaks with mushroom gravy.



You can't put anything but a good old cast iron pan into a hot oven to simmer.

Good morning Bret!. That Salisbury steak meal looks absolutely scrumptious. I love cooking in a good old cast iron skillet. Unfortunately, I threw all of mine out some years ago, except for one tiny one that is only large enough to cook one burger or fry one egg.

You had to mention dessert didn't you? I am just getting out of bed on Monday morning. It is 30F, clear, calm. Forecast high temp is 77F.

I think we will be lucky to reach 40 F here today.... We could be setting record lows ...... how's that for Global Warming?

It's amazing just how fast delicious meal can disappear ! The cooking time is also strung out with that critical simmer baking time.

You might also guess as to how long it was used before they acquired it too!

Wow, those Salisbury Steaks look delicious. I have several old cast iron skillets, and love them. What I miss here, is my Roemertopf, it's a clay cooker that cooks all your meals in the oven. You can also bake bread in there. Enjoy the food!

I will have to look that up!!! I spend a great deal of time baking in the winter months... meals, breads, cookies and cakes!
