Another cast-iron skillet question

[TexasGuppie]

Peace Brother !
I think that skillet just hit me upside the head.
Never intended my remark in a bad way.
Sorry about that.

It wasn't taken in a bad way. I was just funnin' with you.

LET IT BE KNOWN HERE AND NOW TO ALL FELLOW BRETHREN: TexasGuppie has a VERY dry sense of humor. I will NEVER criticize ANYONE publicly on this forum OR in any private arena.

ALL of the info I get here is very valuable to a "rookie" like me and for my sense of humor to get in the way of that would be foolish!

My cast iron pot is still (new) gray.

I wish it were black.

Maybe I should use it more.h

I got a brand new one a few weeks back. Put it on the stove and cranked the heat up til it was almost white hot. Placed in some butter, and veggie oil.
Packed a couple of ribeyes with Pauls redfish magic and blackened the daylights out of em.
Two or three steaks later, this skillet looks as if it has been in use for years.

do u cook with it as u would a dutch oven with coals on top and bottom? or hang it over the coals on a tripod?

The legs are so you can sit it directly over coals.

The beauty of the "potjie" pronounced "porkie" is that very little fuel is required after the initial heating. Most of the heat is off to the side, indirectley as it were. There are a whole buch of recipies for the use of these. They are great for BBQ left overs. Chunks of meat with veggies and onions and spices, cooked in beer or wine whatever.
Google potjie recipes.
