I love almost everything pertaining to cooking...
that includes looking at pots and pans, and cooking
utensils. Recently, I have fallen for a very un-glamourous
cooking essential...a cast iron skillet. It won't break if I drop
it, there is no non-stick coating that will eventually peel off
and it can be used as a weapon if needed.
Last night I decided to experiment and see if I could cook
our whole dinner just using a cast iron skillet.
Homemade Potato Chips
Peanut oil, for frying
3 potatoes, thinly sliced
Sea Salt
In a large cast iron skillet, fill oil no more than halfway and heat the oil to 350 degrees F.
Add the potato slices in batches. Fry until light golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Drain on paper towels,
season with salt, and serve
Sauteed Mushrooms and Onions
Reserve 2 tablespoons of oil from the chips and
place mushrooms and onions into the
skillet. Sautee until golden brown.
Hamburgers
1 lb of ground beef
Salt and Pepper
1 glove minced garlic
