Mr Adams, I would like to compliment you on your meal and it looks like you are drinking a better beer than the last time you posted a picture of the cook's beverage............. I can't beer snipe you this time.

[Stingerhook]

Very nice Adams.

DIbs on leftovers! Looks amazing, Adams!

 

[1911Ron]

Oh my! Yes please!

 

[BruceB]

I'd eat that!

 

[Big George's BBQ]

Very nice. Would love a plate of that

Exactly what is your vintage iron? And can I see a picture of the bottom?

I refer to my cast iron as "vintage" to reflect an era of time.
Antique definition doesn't fit. This was an acquired piece, not an heirloom. No idea actual date put into service. Just a manufacturer date range from Griswold history sites

I'm with you. For me... the #9 skillet is perfect, I use it often.

That said, I have a couple of #5's and #3's that are perfect for small tasks.

 

[16Adams]

I've gifted several the last few years, I probably need to bring them out, inspect, oil and see what I do have.

 

[16Adams]

I have some Large Logo Griswold. They look really cool, but I can't tell any difference in performance

 

[16Adams]

Do you have a #4??

 

[SmokinAussie]

I was waiting for this one Adams!

Nicely done. I'm still splaining to Aussies what this Chicken Fried Steak thingy is!

 

[16Adams]

Saying is no Texas Restaurant will last if they don't have chicken fried steak on the menu. Several ways to cook. Here is an article on Texas CFS

Chicken-Fried Steak the Lone-Star State Way

How does a Texas chef do the Southern classic? Bigger and better, of course

Wow, the music of my people. Can't find that kind of Cast Iron up here. Just beautiful.

Looks great and I love the old Griswold pans. I have a few in the collection. A #8 chicken Pan with lid, and a couple largle logo ones. It is fun to think about the journey and kitchens those have seen. and they cook great.
