Patination and further use of uncoated pans

[Natasha]

Natasha, well, how was it here

I barely drew her to this barbecue))). You haven't seen the second part. The second is deep and on legs! I haven't even tried yet to pour it to the barbecue))).



Svetlenki,

I cook constantly on the stove in cast iron. Sveta, I really have a lot of cast iron))). In my opinion, you already understood this)). This skepticism will be great for cabbage rolls, meatballs and all that, for a small amount of pilaf, for stewing meat, for stewing potatoes (you know what kind of potatoes it is stewed in cast iron ?? - finally!))). I have a 4 liter cast iron saucepan. True, with a cast-iron lid. There is an even thinner Ikeevskaya cast-iron duckling (doused, in blue glaze, ospidya, I myself am in shock how much I have it. Somehow I did not think about it before. If you count everything, there will be 15 units))). And also with a cast iron lid. I cooked pilaf in it just a couple of days ago. But I'm sure the glass doesn't spoil anything. Not an oven after all. The main heating still comes from the bottom. A cast iron lid can raise the temperature inside by a fraction of a degree. Probably. Just because it is heavy and the pressure rises from the accumulation of steam, but often it still has to be opened a little, because this steam starts to spit and spray from under the lid.



Wo, I found my pan for pancakes. well, which they gave me! This is the Regent, like that. I recognized her by the handle. Normal frying pan, I liked:

[Nata]

for stewing potatoes (do you know what kind of potatoes they are stewed in cast iron ?? - finally!)))

Nata, more details, please!

Wo, I found my pan for pancakes. well, which they gave me!

they no longer sell Radishes! And it bakes evenly !!! Chuch, well, why do you need two, think for yourself ??? Get rid of your possessions!

But I'm sure the glass doesn't spoil anything.

I was just glad to see the glass lid - I love it when you can see what is happening there ... But there is already one BUT - after washing the rim of the cast-iron knob, rust appeared on the lid That is, moisture has accumulated and like this ... How to proceed, right away wipe thoroughly Or butter so that it slips out of hands

I did not make friends with the Ikeevskaya cast iron for one simple reason - I have a blue Ikea cast iron. And I, it turns out, do not accept the blue color in the kitchen; he is exiled to the garage, unhappy

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,

In, we are soul mates. I also don't like blue / blue.)) I don't use it in the interior, or in clothes. Only a ski suit managed to buy a turquoise one. Now Ikeevsky white ducklings are doing. But my identity is blue, there were no others then.

Yes, with an ambush knob, although it was to be expected.

And potatoes - nothing like that, everything is how you usually do, but stew in cast iron. Fry pieces of meat right in a cast iron, then finely chopped onions, coarsely grated carrots (many carrots) and a few cloves of garlic, cut in half, then put in large-cut potatoes, pour boiling water up to about half of the products, season (for me, must have is allspice, bay leaf and black ground) and simmer on minimum heat for an hour and a half. From time to time you watch so that the water does not go away. You can add some pickle from pickled homemade tomatoes. Well, half a glass for piquancy. But in the middle of extinguishing already. All tomatoes contain acid, which interferes with cooking vegetables.

soul mates. I also don't like blue / blue.)) I don't use it in the interior, or in clothes.Only a ski suit managed to buy a turquoise one.

AAAA, girls, and I don't like blue-blue either! for some time now began to be tolerant to turquoise.

[Ilmirushka]

Ilmirushka,

In-in, he is unpleasant to me, cold. I love olive (almost all shades of green, in fact), persky / orange, yellow, beige, soft lilac tones.

[Natasha]

Natasha, adore! Well cho repeat, then, if you have already written everything! Well, I also sometimes have west red ... periods, once every 5 years. Apparently, there is not enough energy - I get it in red

[Nata]

Nata, thanks for the potatoes

Chuch, and I'll have to put the pot in the oven, right? How can I pierce its high walls?

Girls, but everything is simple - it is believed that if you want to lose weight, eat from blue dishes, because it discourages your appetite. And then you have to cook in this "AppetiteKillable" device

I love turquoise - it "freshens" me, I adore green color in clothes, but how rarely do I come across things of this color !!! He's probably expensive in performance?

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,

Do not ignite. Skepp is usually well prepared from the manufacturer. Rinse with hot water and that's it. You can heat the bottom a little. In general, these casters have never had a powerful non-stick layer with me. This is unrealistic. You stew in them, not fry! This is a pancake, a saucepan / stewpan. Yes, at the initial stage something can be fried, but even if it is fried, then it is still poured with liquid and everything will "soak". Moreover, acid is often found in foods / dishes, which "kills" the non-stick layer (either a tomato, or pickled cucumbers, etc.). Therefore, to be honest, I never bothered with pots. Artel "Wasted Labor")))

[Scarecrow]

Moreover, acid is often found in foods / dishes, which "kills" the non-stick layer (either a tomato, or pickled cucumbers, etc.)

Oh how good!!! How nice dear Scarecrowthat you didn’t get your army of enameled cast iron and didn’t start talking about buying a couple more of these, and in the future, these ten

But, seriously, yes, what about sauce without a tomato ... They say (maybe you said) that over time, a thick non-stick layer should withstand this, but this over time ...

Yes, thank you, good, so there is no need to "stink" today in the kitchen with a long hot oil - it pleases

Cho pounced on the blue, in vain, but here I am very much and in clothes asobenna
but about the dishes - everywhere there is deception))) my plates are blue-blue current and I’m just like eating, I can see that food does not repel
the dishes are blue, you see, they don't like it, you ate



but I love the cast iron, the current I have is all non-colored, never, Siton's for pancakes (plump), big by 30 or 32 cm chtoli, I saved it in a cafe, lay in the corridor, rusted, asked: take it, otherwise we'll throw it out

[Katerina]

Katerina, and really pounced))) I generally have a blue top of the kitchen and a blue cast-iron saucepan, I don't notice that I'm smaller to eat began to eat)))

Tell me how to clean a cast-iron skillet (like ..), outside at the bottom there is a thick layer of carbon. Inside, too, almost all black, but a thin layer. Not rusty. I dug it out from my parents in the shed, I liked the size. Is it really possible to remove it? Thank you!

[annnushka27]

annnushka27, if there is a barn, then there is a plot.)) The simplest thing is to burn it in a fire. But only if it is really cast iron, and not dirty aluminum.

My husband removed the scab from an aluminum frying pan with a grinder grinding disc, weak layers can be drilled with a metal brush instead of a drill. But it's all dirty, noisy and dreary. And roasting (like pyrolysis) is the simplest option, IMHO.

[annnushka27]

But only if it is really cast iron, and not dirty aluminum.

Yes, annnushka27, Anya, this is the most important question that needs to be answered correctly. For in the old days, not only cast iron pans were difficult, but also high-quality ones made of aluminum alloy. Aluminum fire - goodbye frying pan. Father ruined my mother's favorite so, with a waffle coating. I already wrote about this here somewhere - I repeat, sorry

[Lena]

Lena, Sveta, Thank you so much! Is there a way to find out if it's aluminum or cast iron?

[Lena]

My husband removed the scab from an aluminum frying pan with a grinder grinding disc, weak layers can be drilled with a metal brush instead of a drill.

I would try to start in a small area of ​​the pan (for example, at the bottom) like Lena told. You just need to understand what it is ... And if you remove the layer, it will be clear already, I think.

But I am exclusively a theorist, maybe the practitioners will catch up, they will advise

[Sveta]

Sveta, so there from the inside there are open places, silvery. I just don't know much about them. I also found a new one, not used at all, but there it is immediately clear that the aluminum one also needs to be prepared for use.

[Bijou]

there are open spaces, silver

means aluminum. then the fire - no, definitely. how Bijou, Lena suggested

[annnushka27]

annnushka27,

Not rusty in the barn - confuses me)). It could be an aluminum alloy.

Sveta, so there from the inside there are open places, silvery.

Well, it is))). such a person cannot be put on a fire or on coals - he will lead her.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, and I asked about the shapes of nuts and cookies, no one answered, can you tell me how to wash them and prepare them better?

[katko]

katko,

Listen, I don't really know how to remove aluminum. I soaked, washed with sif-cream, fairies, that the hand was caught). But you don't need to prepare the person. Nuts and biscuits are shortcrust pastry, a high-fat dough. I lubricated with lecithin grease once and that's it. No longer stick.

[katko]

katko, Katerina, I once read here at Irishka-Tumanchik about the method of cleaning all sorts of hard-to-clean fried stuff. Try to find.

[Ilmira]

Ilmira, ah, exactly, I, hockey stick, and forgot, me in her recipe and sent
thanks for reminding

[Katerina]

I, hockey stick, and forgot, me in her recipe and sent

Whoa! And I walked for an hour and was tormented by remorse that a good person was not helped in the subject, And Cho is now so absent-minded to do with you, Katerina?

[katko]

katko, attach the magnet, it will not stick to the duralumin. Mom somehow boiled pans with silicate glue and soda ash

Mom somehow boiled pans with silicate glue and soda ash

+1000 to this method. Verified personally many times.
A not very thick layer of carbon is removed very quickly and easily, with a thick layer it is more difficult, but not impossible, just boil longer and have to scrape a little.

What should I do with you now, Katerina?

Well

I pinned you a photo from the frying pan's trials. My husband and I had fun))). Because at first we burned half of the vegetables for joy, then we almost burned the meat ...))) In short, you need to get used to any thing, especially at the stake. The question of the "mesh" is also, I think, removed)). There was no need to wash it - we just pushed the wood / coals back under the pan (since everything started to burn like hell - they were shoveled to the side) and the leftovers just went through pyrolytic cleaning: I then blew off the ashes and that's it)). You need to fry something flat on it: bacon, chops, cuts of meat, cutlets for camburgers, etc. Chicken pieces are not fried well. But we had to try.

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, Nata, the question with the mesh really disappeared! Chic mesh

In short, you need to get used to any thing, especially at the stake.

I think that when you get used to it, the price will not be for this "bandura" - that's what I called her lovingly, can I? Class ... I took notes. And the price is ridiculous by European standards for such a thing

[Svetlenki]

Svetlenki,

Sveta, don't think of it, she's a monstrous size !! especially the lower part !!))

And cho "loving"? ..)) Bandura is. You are still so polite ... Myagenko))). I would put it worse!))

and the remnants just went through pyrolytic cleaning: then I blew off the ashes and that's it)).

Girls, who suddenly needs an idea of ​​how to provide air access when storing cast iron with a lid



I bought these things in Ikea from us as oven mitts for hot dishes

[Nata]

Nata, uuuuu .. for testing

imported patamushta

she can raise him on the windowsill ... or in the chicken coop

That's why I love the little lodge pans.

[Sveta]

SvetaOh, Svetik, what a beauty, deliciousness! It's not Natina's dumb ones, are they?
Well, you won't spin me into such frying pans! You are young, but where is such a park of pans for two? But I want ...

It's not Natina's dumb ones, are they?

Nope, these are fast. In the morning there is no yeast time to wait

Well, you won't spin me into such frying pans!

Eh! It was also necessary to pour this stack of maple syrup and put a couple of strips of fried bacon on top - then you would definitely not resist !!!

[completely different cast iron !!!]

I breathe completely evenly towards cast iron, I do not like its low thermal conductivity and difficulty in care. In the house I keep only one spacious for frying khachapuri on induction - it's a pity to "stain" the stainless steel, but on this one you still can't see the dirt.

The other day I looked into Fissman, looked at their cast iron, including the pancake house, on which the eye fell before - it with such unusual bumpers around the edges looks like they are plump. But it turned out that the sides are not triangular in cross-section, as I thought, but simply curved in such a shape. I changed my mind to want. I pondered for a long time about a very manunka of 18-20 centimeters. On the site it was 400-something, in a living shop 600. I did not buy it, it seems that I have a stainless steel with a similar size, I don't eat so many pancakes to have several pans for such purposes.

So, what is this preamble for.))
After that, we went to the store where Staub was lying on sale. Yes, I do not need this (the size was huge) and expensive (from 6 thousand and more at a markdown). But Christmas trees, brooms, this is completely different cast iron !!!

Not only is it enameled on the outside, but inside it does not look like anything seen before! Even about such a cast iron Bijou thought ... Tell me, good people, is the cast iron itself so even or is it just a black coating applied to match?

Svetik, don't seduce, I already go to school with you, then all sorts of gadgets, until now I don't need, I buy. And the pancakes in this frying pan are notable, I had to run to blurt out the blues, as I am envious.

[Lena]

Even about such a cast iron Bijou thought ... Tell me, good people, is the cast iron itself so even or is it just a black coating applied to match?

Lenawait, Timkina will come and give the cover to the staub ... MAT

That's why I love the little lodge pans.

Light, I had the same babies in the morning, these are already leftovers

[julia_bb]

julia_bb, Yul, also from the lodge frying pan?

[julia_bb]

julia_bb,

paw-lapotuski! And the plateaaaaaa ... the beauty is unreal ... I also saw your pot of abalden beauty

[Bijou]

Bijou,

This is a special baked quartz coating. We have already discussed, schA I will find you.

Here is:


in fact, there is glass enamel - a layer of quartz fused into cast iron. Such cast iron does not rust and is easier to care for.
In the very first post, I already gave links to pages about such coverage from Le Creuset and Staub, but if it's hard to read there, then you can copy here too:

*** This grill pan retains all the advantages of a traditional cast iron pan - ideal for searing, frying and braising - but does not require occasional roasting with oil and does not rust from time to time. Le Creuset cast iron cookware is covered with an easy-to-clean enamel that protects the cookware from rust, and also resists scratches and chips. Cast iron absorbs, transfers and stores heat evenly, so food cooks equally well over the entire surface of the pan. ***

Cast iron cookware of the French firm Staub is highly respected. Staub cast iron cookware is additionally covered with several layers of enamel. [...] for the interior, matte black enamel is used, which allows using these dishes without preparation.
Staub enamel does not oxidize during cooking.
With prolonged use, Staub cookware acquires special properties. When cooking oil, it penetrates deeply into the pores of the enamel coating, which gives additional non-stick properties. The more often you use the Staub pan, the better it gets. **

[spring]

Yul, also from the lodge frying pan?

spring, Lena, yes. The size is the same as Sveta's (6 'or 16 cm).
Svetlenki,

Ukrainian plate, pot Pskov potter)

[spring]

spring, Lena, yes. The size is the same as Sveta's (6 'or 16 cm).

spring, Elena, we feel you, right now, we will "squeeze" on the lodge

In fact, you have in mind, suddenly somewhere there will be such a price that you cannot refuse. They are very cool

[Scarecrow]

Scarecrow, wow ... Suggest! (c) It turns out that it seems like a coating, but it will not work without carbon deposits and you still have to anneal with oil. But it does not rust in any situation and from time to time you can put it in the dishwasher.

And personally, what is your favorite for pancakes?

[Bijou]

Bijou,

I have pure cast iron from Skeppschult for pancakes. Huge.

Don't put Staub in the dishwasher. There is no need for special carbon deposits due to the coating. but it is not worth it to be absolutely zealous in washing it by all possible and impossible means.
