Iron

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
