It’s no secret that our family appreciates cast iron cookware.
We love its durability, versatility, and ease of use. The heavy-duty pans, dutch ovens, and skillets last forever and can be used on the stovetop, the grill, or the open flame. After use, cleaning is as easy as a quick scrub with hot water and a quick re-coat of vegetable oil.
Our new favorite piece is the Reversible Pro Grid Iron Griddle (which was sent to us by LODGE) – ideal for much more than pancakes! The 20″ griddle fits over two burners. One side is a flat griddle; the other is a grill pan with grooves. Because of the dual sides, it can be used for buttermilk pancakes, flat iron steaks, sliced vegetables, almost anything!
Bacon-Wrapped Chicken Skewers
Although we’ve been using the griddle at home, I can see us taking it along for family camping trips in the future. All in all, it’s a smart purchase for active families who love to cook from scratch.
LODGE also has a new cookbook out (released in March 2014) – Cast Iron Nation, featuring 160+ recipes with beautiful accompanying photographs intermixed throughout. Including Baked Spaghetti, Sweet Potato Casserole, Grilled Swordfish Sandwiches, Braised Kale with Bacon and Onions, Florida Blueberry Cobbler, just to name a few.

May 13, 2014 at 12:34 pmThe only cast iron piece we have right now is a large skillet. But we love it! One of our family’s favorites is Tamale Pie. http://www.marthastewart.com/866561/tamale-pie However, I recently read that the acid in tomatoes can pit the cast iron, so I might have to rethink that recipe.
