First, Termite asks:
Ya'll gonna have church service tomorrow evening?No, like most churches, we're shut down for the duration of the stay-at-home order. We feel like it's the right thing to do. Our congregation has a fair percentage of at-risk people and we don't want to subject them to any unnecessary threat.
Dave S asks:
What do you think of that new cast iron skillet?I'm glad you asked. We've been using it for nearly a year now and I really like it. It's a 12" Stargazer, and it came in the door last May.
We have a lot of different cast iron, and I've cooked on cast iron my whole life. So has Belle. When we set u house-keeping, we blended our collection. It includes Lodge, Birmingham (BSR) and some unknown Chinese pieces. I have one piece that I believe is an un-marked Wagner. We use it all. The Stargazer was a gift from Belle, who indulged me when I was smitten with the idea of a really nice piece of cookware. It has some features I really like. And, it's really good cookware.
But, the question that I have to answer, is it five-times better than a piece of Lodge? It costs about five-times more than a new Lodge, and the answer , frankly, is no. I really like the handle, and the lip around the edge is really nice. It cooks really well, but most cast iron does. I have some forty-year-old Lodge that cooks really well.
I'm not disappointed with the Stargazer. Quite the contrary. It's a fine skillet. It came out of the box ready to cook, and I use it a lot. But, do the nice features justify the extra cost? I'm not sure. Still, it's a fine skillet and I'm glad it's in the collection.
