That would be an old cast iron pan/pot. One that's been used & properly seasoned for the last 50 years will do. I begged my Grandmama for one of hers :-)<br /><br />A few of my favorite uses for it are: sweet & crispy cornbread to serve alongside my red beans & rice (seasoned w/ham hock) on Monday nights and properly searing a big, juicy beef or pork roast for Sunday suppers. If I have time, I'll usually inject the meat with all kinds of seasonings before searing or roasting - it's SO delish!!!<br /><br />Crossing my fingers for this one ;-)Arlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201718517263059368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3022379986965485655.post-66066796658638332602010-04-19T11:44:31.105-04:002010-04-19T11:44:31.105-04:00Of course I'm a follower & ever so jealous...Of course I'm a follower & ever so jealous that your' in NO when I'm... well, not.
