          If you’ve been following my drivel at all, you’ve prolly already heard me ramble about my cast iron. I love cooking in a cast iron skillet for a lot of reasons but first and foremost is the bad ass steaks you can turn out in one of these bitches. I’ll be describing both an indoor and outdoor method you can use to cook restaurant quality steaks. Both work great- but because of the amount of smoke produced, unless you have a really good vent or hood over your stove, I would recommend the outdoors method. Here’s the things you will need:

Getting Started with Cast Iron

If you don’t already own cast iron cookware, I suggest you start with a good skillet. I have a 12” Lodge skillet that I use for almost everything. It’s a bit large for most jobs and it’s pretty heavy but I’m cool with that. Go with the size and model that suits you best. Weaklings should opt for a skillet with two handles because, again, this stuff is surprisingly heavy if you’re not used to cooking with it. Keep in mind that you do not have to run out and spend a lot of money on new equipment. Cast iron is way cheaper than stainless steel or Teflon if purchased new but the old stuff was built to last a lifetime, and it will if you take care of it.
