This video confirms a lot of what I already thought about cast iron. It's fine, but with the amount of oil the guy is using, I can do just as well with stainless steel.

1) I use tons of oil/fat in my cast iron too.

2) Cast iron is great because it retains heat so well and evenly to enable outstanding sears.

3) If you’re looking for a cast iron substitute, consider carbon steel.

TLDR: if you got induction or electric flat stove top, carbon steel might warp.

If it's just about heat retention, I think all clad pans are almost as good, at least in my experience.

Also, if you have induction or electric flat stove top, then get rid of it.

how did you cook that? you achieved the nigh unobtainable combination of evenly cooked interior, perfectly dark, near burnt crust, and little gray band. very nice.


We're doing southern fried chicken, collard greens, mac and cheese, and Milk Bar crack pie tomorrow for Thanksgiving. Shall no artery be left unclogged. I'll post pics in the other thread.

So I just butchered this bad boy. Can you say “marbling”? Mr. Robinson can:



Would definitely try to jump on this deal...I’d buy a 2nd if I had a chest freezer.

Also, all these fat trimmings have a date with my Instant Pot. I still say beef fat is the GOAT oil to cook steaks with.

Made my first stock pot steak, had cooked pasta and didn't feel like getting my cast iron out and cleaning up the ensuing mess so I thought I'd cook it in the pot. Turned out pretty good, more greyband than I normally have (especially around the edges, had a bit too much butter/oil in there) but the crust was excellent

Man, I dont even bother grilling steaks anymore, I'm addicted to using cast iron and basting with butter, rosemary, garlic & thyme:



Perhaps this is steak heresy but I buy horseradish root and grind it in my Robot Coupe and mix with sour cream, salt & some heavy cream to make a great sauce for the steak and fried potatoes



I usually make the potatoes in this guys video too but was out of potatoes this week because I am fermented sliced potatoes for making fermented potatoes chips

Here is some real steak heresy. Taiwanese style sirloin steak with black pepper sauce in Flushing.
