    JimR:[p]Thems are some really nice looking beans. Your picture is encouraging me to pull out the DO's for some here at the house!

  • JimR,
    The beans look real good, but the old cast iron kettle caught my eye. I wish my cast iron stuff looked that good. What's the secret?

    twodogs,
    The old cast iron is actually pretty new.The secret was giving it the cure in our friendly "egg".

    twodogs,
    Once your pans/pots are seasoned properly, they can be relatively easily maintained. After use, I always clean mine immediately (while the pan is hot) with hot water and wash cloth or soft plastic scouring pad. Never soap. Just enough to get any crusties off. A well-seasoned pan cleans up very easily. Then I shake off the excess water (pan is still hot) and run a paper towel to pick up the excess water. If it is hot enough, it will dry on its own...otherwise, put in on your stove over low heat until it is totally dry, then wipe some veggie oil on it, and store. I store them in the oven. You don't want to stack them.[p]Been doing this for 3 years now, and they look and work better every year. The more bacon and sausage and other good fatty meat you cook in there, the better. I cooked for years with junky aluminum pans, and after a few years of CI cooking, I'll never go back.[p]Hope that helps! Once you get them right, maintenance is simple if followed religiously.[p]Beers!

    twodogs,[p]The secret to get that great "color" is high temp seasoning. Every manufacturer will tell you to cook at 350º...that is bull and the easy way to do it. Then it will take you years to get the nice jet-black color.[p]I roast mine in my gasser at the highest temps I can get....600-700º...let cool and then do it again.[p]Lodge has a new line of pre-seasoned iron and this is exactly how they do it.[p]Stogie
