Colorful Cast Iron Cookware Today
Unlike the awkward heavy Cast Iron Cookware of yesterday, today such cookware comes in a variety of colors and styles. In addition, many new pan types have also been created over the last several years. Thus allowing one a larger selection when it comes to shopping for such cookware.
For example, one online store offers dutch ovens, skillets, pans, casseroles, camp dutch ovens, kettles, fryers, specialty items and more. Of course, when it comes to shopping online one always has their favorite outlet. Still, when shopping for specialty items such as this cookware, to be sure one is getting the utmost quality, one need always buy for a store specializing in the product.
For, this cookware can be great to cook with; However, if not careful, cleaning can be quite a chore. This is why it is so important to both season and oil such pans before each use. Otherwise, by cooking in such a pan without having had a chance to season same, one is generally setting oneself up for disaster with regards to both taste and the cleaning of the pan.
So, before blackening that chicken, deep frying that fish or baking that casserole, always be sure to season the cookware properly as directed. Otherwise, both food and pan will pay the price in both taste and in the ability to clean the pan easier had it been well oiled and seasoned before cooking. Also, never leave a cast iron pan to dry after being washed, always dry and season such pans after each use. For, if not, one will only be left with a pan that is rusted rather than one which is functional.
Still, when treated appropriately with regards to their iron content, these pans can offer up the most tasty dishes one can imagine. Also, as the only true way to blacken food for Cajun style recipes is by using a such a skillet, one definitely needs to have at least one, if not a number of pieces on hand in order to cook as many varied recipes as one enjoys. To this end, regardless of the efforts involved in seasoning and cooking, it is well worth the time involved as the food when cooked correctly is often some of the best food one has ever cooked, eaten or served.
Therefore, before buying a set of cheap aluminum pans which also have now been tied to health risk in association with a variety of long-term illness, one may want to venture online and check out the many pans available on the market today. As there are many different offerings available, one may want to search on Cast Iron Collection or Cast Iron Cookware to find an online dealer which can provide these heavy duty pans in the styles one needs. Also, one can generally buy such cookware either by the piece or set which is an added bonus when shopping for cookware which can often be more expensive than cheaper counterparts due to their high quality and long life expectancy when treated with proper care as instructed.
To this end, regardless as to whether one needs a Cast Iron Cookware pan for baking, frying, blackening or other cooking methods, one can generally find a pan to match their needs through an online dealer. However, one may also want to browse a local store to get an idea of the size and weight of such a piece in order to know what to expect once the pan arrives. Also, as these pans are usually quite heavy, a few dealers offer discounted or free shipping on same. Generally, businesses doing so are offering such a deal to first time customers as well as long, in order to create new business while also generating repeat business over time. Regardless, whether one buys such a pan at a local outlet or online, one is going to obtain some of the best cookware one has ever owned.
How to Get That Perfectly Grilled Steak House Taste at Home For a Fraction of the Cost
There is nothing in the world quite like a juicy, perfectly grilled steak from a high-end steak house. But is there anyway I can duplicate that unbeatable taste in my backyard? Of course, you can! You can easily cook that perfectly grilled steak — if you follow a few simple guidelines:
First off everything begins in the market with your choice of the steak. The cut of steak is all important. Lean cuts do not grill well. You want to choose a cut that has good fat marbling throughout. Good cuts to pick are the Rib Eye, T-Bone and Sirloin.
Many people prefer the Fillet Mignon. But I think it tastes bland. There is a reason restaurants always wrap a piece of bacon around it. My choice will always be one of the cuts above.
Next, preheat the gas grill or light your charcoal and build a two zone fire. To make a two zone fire with a charcoal grill, arrange the brickets so that the majority are at one end of the grill producing a hot zone of about 400 degrees F and a cooler zone of about 225-300 degrees F. For a gas grill, turn one end to high and the other to low.
To check the temperatures of your grill use the hand test. For the hot zone you should be able to hold your hand about 3 inches over the grate for about 1 to 2 seconds before being forced to pull it back. For the warm zone the time should be 7 to 8 seconds.
Remove the steaks from the refrigerator and bring them to room temperature before working with them.
Season both sides of the steak with oil and sprinkle on generous amounts of salt and pepper (some will fall off during cooking. You can apply other spices at this time — but why would you want to?
Place your meat first on the hot zone to quickly sear the surface and lock in the juices. Cook each side for about three minutes to get the crust color you want. At about one minute, rotate the steaks 45 degrees to get those perfect grill marks that you see in the restaurant.
Then move your meat to the warm zone for completing the cooking to your doneness preference.
When the cooking is finished, remove the meat from the grill and, here is the steak house trick, cover it with butter. Absolutely cover it on both sides. Then, even though it will be hard, let it “rest” for at least 5 minutes. Grilling dries the surface of foods and drives the juices to the center. Resting allows the juices to return to the surface giving you a nice juicy piece of meat.
Serve and enjoy.
Follow these simple guidelines (which work equally as well indoors on the griddle) and you can have that expensive steak house taste of a perfectly grilled steak at home — anytime — for a fraction of the cost.
Let Culinary Herbs Spice Up Your Life
Discerning cooks from around the world appreciate culinary herbs. Culinary herbs and spices add zest to every dish served at every hour around the globe. If you are making food products that will be resold, wholesale spices offer a great way to save money on all of your favorite ingredients. Here are just a few ways that herbs and spices are used to increase the flavor and aroma of different regional cuisines.
Southern Cajun
Cajun dishes are very spicy. Think of the South, and your mind will likely drift to dishes such as blackened fish, gumbo, jambalaya as well as soft-shelled crabs and crawfish. The herbs and spices that you will find in an authentic Cajun spice mix varies from cook to cook, but many utilize the savory flavors of garlic, onion, cayenne pepper, black pepper, dry mustard, celery seed, cumin, paprika and thyme.
Southwestern United States
The states bordering Mexico often share the flavors that are featured in the many tasty regional cuisines of this beautiful country. Dishes such as enchiladas, tacos and refried beans are perfectly suited to boldly flavored culinary herbs such as oregano, and spices like cumin, chile powder and crushed red pepper.
France
French cuisine features the foods that grow regionally in France. French chefs have stunned the world with wonderful sauces and presentations, all of which are enhanced with the appropriate culinary herbs. Normandy is a big apple-producing region of the country, and thus you would expect to find Apple tarte served there, rich with the scent of cinnamon and nutmeg. Lorraine is known for its famous quiche. This is a wonderful dish that can be easily prepared for a weeknight dinner, because it uses pantry staples such as flour for the crust, and look to your freezer for vegetables, seafood or chopped ham to add to the eggs and cream. Seasonings can include herbs and spices such as thyme and coarsely ground black pepper.
Spain
Spain is known for its famous tapas, little dishes of appetizers. However, main dishes abound as well, with seafood-rich paella, gazpacho or drinks such as sangria. Gazpacho often features culinary herbs as well as spices such as garlic, onion, peppers and cumin. Paella calls for herbs and spices like onion, saffron, garlic, parsley and salt to bring out the flavor of the seafood.
Restaurants
Restaurants utilize a wide range of wholesale spices used to season their customer’s favorite dishes. Wholesale spices can include any of the aforementioned spices as well as a host of others. Restaurants also often have related cafes or bistros, as well as bakeries, and these outlets also make use of wholesale spices. Whenever you are preparing foods that will be resold to customers as part of your business, you can take advantage of excellent pricing on wholesale spices.
Advantages of Stainless Steel Grills
When choosing a griddle for home use, you may want to consider one made of stainless steel. These pieces have a lot of good qualities. It’s easy to clean and lasts for years. It’s practically unbreakable. And, from a health standpoint, this type of cookware is much safer than common steel cookware, which typically contains lead.
The best griddles of this type are made from restaurant or commercial grade stainless steel. Because they are thicker, they will cook foods more evenly and quicker than the cheaper stainless steel griddles. This means that for stainless steel cookware the griddle should be made of type 304 grade stainless steel or better. It’s also beneficial if a metal with greater heat conductivity such as copper or aluminum, is bonded to the bottom of the griddle.
When choosing a pan, if your stovetop is big enough, select one that is large enough to simultaneously cook 4 medium sized pancakes or 4 grilled cheese sandwiches at one time. If your choice is a gas griddle, a double burner piece would be the perfect choice for cooking / grilling big breakfasts for the family. The second biggest complaint among first time grill buyers is buying one too small. The first complaint is buying a poor quality grill.
If you’ve decided to purchase an electric pan, make sure that it has precise temperature controls. This will greatly simplify the job of cooking just about anything.
Avoid cookware with plastic handles as they can possibly give off toxic fumes if overheated. Also, look for stainless steel griddles with lifetime warranties. This is a good indication of how confident the manufacturer is in their product.
Features or accessories that can add to your griddle experience:
1) See through glass lids that let you cook foods on the cookware in an enclosed environment. The glass lets you monitor the food while its cooking.
2) A cover with a steam control valve allows you to steam vegetables on the grill.
3) Look for griddles that have a grease channel or grease trough that will give the excess grease a place to flow to and keep if from being drawn back into the food.
4) An oven safe pan is more versatile in that it allows you to take food from stovetop to oven if necessary. The pan should be oven safe to at least 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
5) Some cookware has reversible cooking plates that snap in and out allowing you to easily clean them.
Cleaning Your Stainless Steel Pan
One drawback of stainless steel griddles are that when you cook, the food will leave black and brown stains all over it. However, the advantage is that you aren’t eating pieces of non stick materials in your food as you’re likely to do with cheap non stick cookware.
Most professional restaurants use what’s known as a griddle brick or griddle scrubber to clean the griddle an remove any burnt on foods. These can usually be used on both hot and cold grills. If your griddle is not commercial grade, however, you’ll have to contact the manufacturer for the best ways to keep your griddle clean and looking good.
A Healthy Salmon, Potato and Fruit Salad Dinner For Two People (Low on Calories, High on Nutrients)
The menu tonight is grilled salmon fillets, parsley potatoes, fresh fruit salad, and lemonade sweetened with stevia. The dinner is designed for 2 people but obviously the fruit salad would be four or more servings, so the leftover is chilled and kept in the refrigerator for serving at a later time.
Grilled Salmon Fillets
Two frozen wild caught salmon fillets (about 2 ounces each) were thawed then patted dry with paper towels.
A soup bowl with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil was set up for coating the fillets.
Next to the soup bowl was about 1/4 cup flour on a dinner plate.
Both salmon fillets were seasoned on each side with lemon pepper.
The fillets were then dipped in olive oil to coat, then dredged with the flour.
A cast iron griddle was heated on high, then 2 tablespoons of olive oil was added.
When the oil was hot the fish fillets were placed on the grill without any shaking or moving with a spatula.
After about 2 minutes (or when a visual inspection showed the fillets were about half cooked) they were flipped over.
After another 2 minutes or so the browned fillets were transferred to serving plates.
Parsley Potatoes
Two medium sized potatoes were peeled and diced to 1/2 inch cubes.
The potatoes were then added to a saucepan with about 1 qt boiling, salted water.
After about 15 minutes when potatoes cubes were tender, they were drained through a colander.
About 1 tbsp of butter was added to the top and then about 2 tablespoons of dried parsley was sprinkled over the top.
The potatoes were then transferred to a serving dish.
Lemonade
1/4 cup of lemon juice was added to a 1 gallon pitcher along with 1 tablespoon of Stevia, then the pitcher was filled with
distilled water. (filtered water could be substituted if you prefer)
Fresh Fruit Salad
One fresh pineapple was cut in half, lengthwise and then the tough core removed with a knife.
The brown skin part was then cut off all around along with the top and bottom and the pineapple was diced into 1 1/2 inch cubes.
1 pint of blueberries, the insides of an orange (diced), 4 kiwi fruits, peeled and thinly sliced, 1 apple peeled, cored, peeled and diced into 1/2 inch cubes, along with 1 large pear, done the same way, and 1 banana, peeled and sliced were all added to a large salad bowl and tossed by hand.
This simple meal was prepared in about 25 minutes and it was delicious.
