high dollar cast iron

[quadrafire]

My wife has shed away from my cast iron skillet because she knows I'd tell at her if she scrubbed it with soap and water... that is until last night.

I'd almost call it porkchop parmesan.  She dipped the chops in egg wash rolled in GF flour with ranch dressing  then rolled in crushed corn flakes and topped with cheese.  She got a good sear on it then finished in the oven.

I know what I'm having for dinner tonight. Great idea

Used the new finex again.
Roasted the bone marrow before the venison tenderloin. For about 25 min (after soaking them in salt water overnight). Then the fat that rendered out I used to sear the tenderloin in the skillet.

14 inch lodge has seen quite a bit of use, it cooks good now but at first it sucked

I was in a store yesterday with Lodge. Ran my finger over the surface and felt like 80 grit sand paper. I have a couple older lodge pieces and do not remember that roughness from earlier pieces. My Finex is probably 300 grit smooth from the factory

[KFhunter]

The one I got in in the picture above started out 80 grit, someone on HW was sanding them down smooth with an orbital palm sander before first use. 

If I get more lodge I'll be sanding them smooth then season them.

the rough finish was put in in the 80s it was to sell pre seasoned,the texture allowed manufacturing to speed up process by spraying it on and it didnt just run off the pans.it was a great selling point and will cook non stick as good as a smooth pan.

i just picked up a few new to me pieces at salvation army and good will.1 is a pre 60 aebelskiver had to do quite a bit of cleaning on that one.

I was the one that posted the sanding pics. I had my lodge for several years and rarely used it because it sucked so bad. After sanding it is my go to pan.

I guess i should have put the roll eyes in after the commercial for the rough finish pans.What i meant by that post was that was their idea behind it.Truth is most did not like it it was not as non stick it was harder to true season and very difficilt to keep clean and seasoned after cleaning.  Here's 1,unmarked,very light very smooth(from factory) first pic is before 2nd pic is after clean and season.
