How to clean and maintain cast iron pans is a question I’m asked a lot so I’m going to jump right in. Cast iron skillets are virtually indestructible. With proper care, your skillet will look brand new all the time. When cleaning, I never use soap or a metal utensil. Just water, oil, heat, and a…
I’ve come full circle on my cast iron steak searing journey. This was my first time actually cooking a sirloin or a New York strip steak using the pan searing and oven finish method, or the “swagger” method if you’ve been following along. In that past I’ve just thrown them on the grill (we don’t…
