LOL I like to cook em in a black cast iron pan also.....but our seasons are different...during the summer I do em on the grilll.....cook indoors in the winter!
Yep, ours are just the opposite. Now I've been know to get cabin fever so bad when in MI that I fired up a charcoal grill in March and did steaks in the snow. Cabin fever is the norm for me from June until November here in the deep south. 60 more or so days and the grill had better be ready.

Speaking of cast iron....
I bought this "pot" at Costco last weekend. It says "Dutch Oven" but it's a really, REALLY heavy black cast iron pot with a lid. The box says it's already seasoned. It's not very big and it only cost $20. I don't know what to do with it but I've seen recipes here that use a Dutch oven so I saw it and I bought it for "future reference".
I don't know that I can wash it though. It is really heavy. I hate to wash even the pressure cooker so if my BF uses it, he washes it. Think I'll make a deal with the Dutch oven.

I hope you got the instructions for caring for cast iron. Make sure it gets dried well and maybe oil lightly after use to prevent rust spots. If it is seasoned properly that will help. It's been a while but seems that there was a seasoning for cast iron on a thread here somewhere. elston you got any advice here?

Don't trust them. If I were you I would season it again.
It is a little messy but worth it, you could leave it in your will to grandkids
Olive oil is the best, just take a brush and oil and coat very thin (make sure it doesn't drip). Place the pot in the hot oven to 450 F for 30 minutes. Take out, let cool and repeat 3 times. It may smoke a little.
Don't store food in it. After use, wash and dry it right away.

Ohhhhh. Glad I mentioned it. Had no idea I needed to season it again or do anything special with it. I took it out of the box and threw the box away, so no, no instructions or even a label anymore to really check.
Well I have a 3 day weekend now. Saturday will be errands and laundry. Sunday we're going to the Keys for the day. Looks like Monday, or maybe even Saturday, will be cast iron pot seasoning day!
LOLLLL you guys are great! Make me work some more!
