  • CI project and cook today

    Picked up a Wagner #8 online and was supposedly cleaned and seasoned. Got it in my hands and it was a Mess! Forgot to take any before photos, but after 3 rounds with oven cleaner sitting in a bag for 24 hrs she was finally clean enough to my liking.

    I then scrubbed her with a SS scrubber and dish soap concentrate twice. Then dried her and on the stove for a couple minutes to dry more. I then greased her lightly with shortening and put her in a 350 oven for 15 minutes. Wiped her with a dry paper towel and then back in the oven for an hour.

    Any constructive criticism and feedback is appreciated! :D. Her inaugural cook I spoiled her and had her cook fried chicken drumsticks! My first time ever cooking fried chicken. Came out tasty!

        Re:

        Fine looking job with that Wagner.

        Not sure what you seasoned that iron with but I'd mention Flax Seed Oil
        is a seasoning oil that is growing in popularity for cast iron nowdays.
        It's an edible oil and is fairly available. I see it at WalMart pharmacy here.

        Your chicken looks delicious too.

        If I were to put anything on that plate with the cheesy mac, I'd probably
        add this.

        I can of peas opened and juice drained into a measuring cup.
        Sauce pan on the stove heated with a Tsp of butter melting in it.
        Add 1/3 cup of the juice in and 1 TB of dried onions and a 1/4+ tsp
        of black pepper. Heat to just boiling and add 1 beef bouillon cube.
        Once it is dissolved add the peas. Add more juice
        if ya want to taste.

        When these are hot add a little less than a 1/2 tsp of ground Savory and stir well. Remove from heat and rest till warm.

        This is a simple dressed up can of peas and most of the folks I fix this for want me to make another can.
