>tfw when you buy a skillet for $20 and watch it bloom as the seasoning builds and builds and builds

Dutch oven: I have 3# of boneless pork "country style ribs" shoulder with onion, carrot, and green and thai chili peppers in a sesame ginger sauce right now.
Seared pork first and removed, then sweated vegetables, added pork back, covered and sauce, and now braising covered at 280F for 3 hours. Serving over brown rice from a cooker. It will all be ready at 5:30.
A 1 pot / 1 cutting board meal.

Memes.

>bacon plus it helps keep the pan seasoned
I wish this meme would die. Bacon has too much sugar in it to not stick to cast iron. Back in the day when you bought from a butcher there was less, but the shit you buy at Walmart will stick and pull off seasoning when you scrape it off.
Cast iron is for steak, eggs, pancakes, hashbrowns and cornbread.

If cooking bacon pulls off the seasoning of your cast iron pan, it's not seasoned properly.

These aren't real "ribs", but 2.5"x 1" x 8" slices of well marbled pork shoulder cuts. They call them "country style ribs" but they are just shoulder cuts. That means slow cooking, but not necessarily off bone. It's a compromise. A nice one.
That said, they were fcuking awesome. Everything came together nicely. The fat was perfect, the meat was... perfect. We pulled them out of the pot as nice 2x1x5" thick BBQ steaks of "rib" meat. They fell apart with a fork, but had a rich fatty flavor of seasoned bacon and pork chops.
Seriously - this is a great compromise between spare ribs and shoulder. The flavor of the ribs, but the easy eating and cook of the shoulder. Cooks like a shoulder, but has the flavor of the ribs.
DO IT!! Sorry, jews and muslims. Your choice.

Sugar? I think that maybe your local food industry is going to far. contact your congressman or something.
This is fucking disgusting.
I use mine to roast whole chickens...
>>7405314
looks good. recipe/instructions?
>>7405317
Slather the bird with butter and the seasoning of your choice. 450 degrees for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 375 for another 45 minutes or until the juices run clear. Easy peasy...
>>7405341
You should make pan gravy with the drippings...
>>7405348
And serve it with mashed taters or stuffing and a veggie...
>>7405223
This. Add: your bacon needs to be real pork belly, not flavor added crap with hickory / maple / or other stupid crap added.
In the older days everything you cooked had enough fat to lubricate it's own. Today everything has flavors and shit to make it easier to cook and flavorful.
If you can't cook bacon and eggs in your cast iron, you've probably lost the season or burned it off.
>>7405341
what kind of seasonings you using
>>7405358
Broccoli looks a tad overcooked.
>>7405380
Salt, pepper, garlic POWDER (not salt), and some Italian seasoning...
>>7405409
It was actually close to flowering when I picked it at a community garden that I belong to.

>deglazing with a cast iron
enjoy your cancer
>>7405576
wtf are you babbling about?
>>7405576
Deglazing was fucking invented in a cast iron pan, you ignorant dolt.
>>7405759
Do you a different pan for each dish you cook. If you do, you are Autistic. If you don't, and worry instead about "crossover flavors", you are not only Autistic, but completely ignorant as well.
>>7405752
i agree with him. i only deglaze if absolutely necessary, but a combination of: a well seasoned skillet rarely burns food / water destroys the seasoning leads my usual response to take a wooden spatula to break the sediment, then fry a rice on it or etc

Eggs, over easy, cooked just long enough for the whites to be firm, with crushed pepper, salt, and paprika, on warmed bread.
>>7405341
You don't rotate the bird for even browning on the skin?
You're not trussing it either, sure it's cooking evenly?
>>7403280
>cast iron
is there more overrated bullshit than cast iron? you grandmother would've killed for stainless steel and you're CHOOSING cast iron.
>>7406535
I don't know how old you are but unless your grandmother lived before the 19th century she had access to affordable steel pans but went with cast iron because of how well it retains heat.
>>7406535
your grandmother sucks at cooking then
>>7403280
