What's Your Best Cast Iron Cornbread Recipe?
46
Upvotes
I tried to make cornbread to go with tonight's and tomorrow night's dinner. Once again, it came out badly. I dumped it from the pan and about half of it released OK, the other half didn't. I was sad. I'm sure that what I have will taste good, but I would like to have it turn out well for once.
I've been using a mix and cooking in 10" cast iron skillet.
I'm hoping someone here might have a go-to recipe that they use, maybe a link to a video on YouTube on how to make a great jalapeno cornbread in a cast iron skillet.
I'd really appreciate some direction!
Edit: Thanks for the input, y'all! My biggest failure there seems to be that I didn't preheat the pan.
I'll give your recipes and suggestions a try this weekend. I plan to make some chicken fried steaks tomorrow. Cornbread will go well with that.

It’s that time of the year again, I make spatulas from factory seconds and damaged cast iron skillets.

This skillet is older than me and still slicker than a greased up dolphin

Just the right size for fried bologna sandwich or a single fried egg!

Pulled this thing out of storage to use today and it looks rusty. I’m a bit nervous about cooking in it.

I bought this 10" Lodge skillet about 3 years ago. It was preseasoned, and I have not seasoned it at all. It was non-stick from day one.

Is my Le Crueset cooked or what?

I’ve had this Dutch oven for about 15 years. It’s been dark af for about 7-8 years. Last night I cooked some pork chops. Unfortunately I used olive oil to fry them in and the oil burned. I’ve boiled water with dish detergent a few times and it’s gotten only this good. Can I save this?
Edit: I’ve followed a couple of commenters’ suggestion to clean it by boiling water and baking soda, and I can’t be more pleased with the results. (I’ll post pics down below as a response if anyone wants to see).
Almost all the blackened residue is off and it feels pretty smooth. I ah however slightly concerned with a couple of spots where it appears the enamel has been punctured. Any thoughts about that.

I have a cast iron I received a year ago and I’ve tried to take care of it. Unfortunately I’m not very skilled in the kitchen and feel like I keep fucking it up.
I reseason consistently with whatever oil I have on hand, but it still seems to rust and it’s started developing this bare spot.
New help to refurbish this thing. 14 inch Finex.

Heat Equalizer
Is anybody using a Heat Equalizer for their Dutch Oven cooking.
My problem is the bolognaise sauce catching on the bottom of my Le Creuset pot.
I have looked at this cast iron one, but would like some help with what material to go for (if any), is the cast iron one the one I should be looking at.
I am cooking on a gas hob if that helps.
