Lately I’ve been cooking everything in my cast iron pans. Once you get the hang of them they’re fantastic.

For this pan I sanded the original sandpaper like texture with an orbital sander then applied many coats of seasoning. Sadly, I may have made it too smooth. The seasoning doesn’t stay on as well as another smaller pan that I own. Which means I’ll sand it again with 40 grit in order to help the seasoning stick. Fingers crossed.

    I used to do chicken thighs this way. Delicious but holy fuck it made a mess with the oil. Even with a splatter guard. So now i bake in the oven and make a giant mess in the oven… sigh…

      Haha, honestly yes. There was oil everywhere! I don’t mind because I like watching them cook while I prepare other things. I like the sizzle.
