  1. You DID… you took it to another dimension DEFINITELY. Puts me in mind of… "I'll take your brains to another dimension, Pay close attention" ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‰

  2. Oh good God are you kidding me? I only use cast iron I have never bought any skillets dutch ovens that wasnt cast iron. The only thing I wont use cast iron for is my loaf pans. Otherwise I use glass. Thats been since I was 19 and setting up my own home and thats been a minute. Ppl today are braindead….. Whose mother or grand mother didnt have a cast iron skillet chicken skillet? whattttttttt

  3. I can't even remember how I originally found you- but it was years ago on The Brothers Green channel. I'm glad I did, though. All this time and I have never been disappointed! You guys have seriously made me much more comfortable in the kitchen. Thanks for your content!!

  4. I remember laughing at my now wife when we moved in together back in 2008 and she brought along a cast iron pan. I thought she was being such an old lady.

    Fast forward a few years and cast iron is all I wanted to use. I cook almost everything in my cast iron pans now, and I even bought her a cast iron wok. Cast iron brings out the flavor and vegetables like no other.

  5. I learn so much from watching this channel. I had no idea that when a cilantro plant turns to seed it turns into coriander!

  6. That turnover was epic!! Totally doing this except I'm gonna try granny smith's with some cinnamon and fresh graded nutmeg!!! Wooo

  7. Holy shit those are expensive cast irons. Nice, but expensive. I'll stick to lodge and garage sales lmao.

  8. That pizza looked awful! Real Italian pizza would NEVER have that much olive oil. It's like he made focaccia instead. I would recommend much less olive oil and sprinkling corn flour on the pan, the real Italian way to make sure it's healthier. Thanks for sharing the recipe though, Mike. We made pizzas the other day and I wish I would have known that we could use our iron pan…but oh well, next time! Peace

  9. Love these ideas!! I've also made the Martha Stewart Chocolate Chip Skillet Cookie, which is amazing ๐Ÿ™‚

  10. Brilliant list! Dutch baby looks identical to the way some areas of the UK serve a "Yorkshire pudding", just to add to the recipes you can look up for using them.

  11. I just LOVE my cast iron! My favorite pan I have, and also the very best non-stick pan! However, this video reminds me why I just hate pizza! In fact, there wasn't a single thing you made in this video that even seemed that it might be edible. well maybe the peach upside down cake, maybe…..

  12. Amazing! I love my cast iron. Chicken pot pie tip is add a little miso….omg it's life changing ๐Ÿ˜

  13. At the risk of stating the obvious… My cast iron pans, 100+ years old, work great on my induction cook top, highly recommend.

  14. You never have to worry about cast iron. The more you cook with it, the better it will get over time. You take good care of it, it will take good care of you. I still have my mom and dad's old-fashioned cast iron skillet and I have no idea how old it really is, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

  15. Wait….I didn't realize you were doing a cast iron pan comparison… what do you think about Smithy? I think it's an east coast made pan.

  16. Maybe you have already made it, but I'd like to see 'The Best way to care for your Cast Iron.'
    If it's there, hit me with a link.

  17. I'm trying to steer myself away from standard white flour and traditional sugar, so I'm wondering if almond flour or some other flour would work for some of these recipes? I haven't found a substitute for white sugar, other than honey, that I like to cook with, however.

  18. I learned something about cast iron pans the hard way — NEVER let them sit in water, never let them soak with water in them, never even just towel dry them and let them sit after washing, BECAUSE you will get bubbles of metal (corrosion) all around the outside of the pan. You need to gently heat them for just a minute or so, to "cook" the water out of the metal.

    That being said, even after making the mistake of soaking my pan, I've been using it almost daily for about 15 years. The one prior to that I'd used for about 40 years until I dropped it on the kitchen floor, and to my horror, it split in half.

    I just bought a smaller 10-inch one (the older one is 12") with a cast iron lid (on Amazon), so that I can use it kind of like a Dutch oven. The lid handle and the pan handle have removable silicone covers to reduce the heat (although I've been warned to still use a pot holder).

    So, obviously I am in love with cooking with cast iron.

    I really like this video's ideas. I've never made a chicken pot pie in my pan, so I think I will try that in the new smaller one, as part of breaking it in. I also will try making a Dutch Baby.

    I think it's good to get the pans made in the USA ( I am lusting after that octagonal one), because they're solid and hefty and hold/distribute heat well. I got my first two through the Amish store, Lehman's. Even if they're pricey, they do last you a lifetime if you treat them right. (I'm actually thinking of going to an autobody repair shop to see if they can blast the corrosion off the older pan, even if just enough that I can hand sand the rest.)

    BTW, there are a few good videos here on YouTube about restoring old rusted pans you may find at flea markets and yard sales. That can be a nice way to find an old-fashioned, quality American-made pan at a fraction of the cost, if you or someone you know is good with tools.

  19. I love watching you videos but I'm curious about the single burner you are using. Where did you get it or the make of it. Thanks in advance
