Cast Iron

I’m so sad I can’t use cast iron because I have a flat top stove.

You could bake with it though, right? I as well have a flat top but I have found recipes for baking and grilling-not sure how well they work.

i know i'd never want one of those since it would be way too easy for how i cook out of habit to not end up scratching the surface. i did see in passing that the cast iron pans i have say they're ok for flat top surface but they do say to be careful to make sure it is all smooth before using. IMO i'd just make a mess of it within a few short moments and then there is the issue of dropping things out of the microwave above it that Mom has at times done and i could see that being a bad thing for any glass surface below.

It came with the house, definitely not what I would prefer! And I am not very graceful, I wouldn’t attempt to use cast iron on it haha

In our old home of 19 years I had a glass top, and I did use my CI all the time

always good to know one's own limitations IMO. i am about as graceful as brownian motion.

so far its working well. not sticking at all
after breakfast all it took for clean up was a paper towel. View attachment 17572View attachment 17573View attachment 17574

I need to do this to my Lodge pan. Otherwise it's an expensive paper weight. I never use it because it's rough inside. I have no idea where it is at the moment. I use my vintage cast iron pan for almost everything!

Oops - nobody told me I wasn't supposed to use cast iron on mine. I use CI and I use the canner too.
My canner isn't one of those double-deckers so it's not too heavy. I almost hope mine would break - I need a good reason to replace it, lol.

I have a glass top stove and use cast iron. Just don't drop them. (or slide them)
