Iron Cookware Recipes – Cooking With Cast iron
Cooking in cast iron
There are so many different recipes we have today that lead away from their original cookware, that was used to make everything come out as it should. As any cook or chef knows there is flavor from everything that you use & there is noting that quite replaces a good old cast iron pot or skillet.
If you have had a fresh baked pie or a casserole simmering in a Dutch oven over a fire at your campsite you know what we are talking about when we say there is nothing like cooking with cast iron. A pizza cooked on a cast iron pizza pan or homemade bread made in old fashioned cast iron loaf pans.
Today we are going to share a couple recipes that are our favorite & we would like you to share yours too. Post any Christmas dishes, cookies, deserts or casserole you would like to share in comments & we will add them to this post.

The superior heat retention qualities of cast iron make these dutch ovens perfect for slow simmering delicious soups and stews. They’re also perfect for deep frying or for baking biscuits in an outdoor fire pit.
my personal meohtd..I buy my cast iron from thrift stores or garage sales. I will NOT wash them, I purchase bulk bacon ends and fry them up. I toss all the bacon to my husky, and dont keep the initial lard as its polluted. Scrape any shazz away with a metal or wooden spoon, wipe out with paper towels, set aside for lighting fires in the woodstove, fry another batch up do the same, but eat the bacon and jar the grease! Wipe extra oil again, put away.
