Cast Iron Chaos
Amateur (because I'm not a professional) cast iron cook, newcomer to antique collecting (I collect vintage cookware to use in my kitchen, not just to display), and Chaos magician. I discovered cooking *and* mysticism at roughly the same time, which was why I decided to combine the two and follow the path of this strange hobby, which I simply call "cooking magic." Every so often I get the urge to make a video that, I hope, you will find entertaining and useful.

So both The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel Live have been taken off the air due to remarks made about the current American regime. Meanwhile, when I posted my July 4th video about the new American dictatorship, one person posted this comment: "The simple fact that your "King" theory is way off base, is that under any other political system, you'd either be censured or taken to a black site by now.. Try dissing the government in China, Saudi Arabia, or even England right now...I'd have to go back to watching bbq videos due to my favorite cast iron show being black listed.. đ"
Hmmm.

It's September 11 once again, and across the country the flags are flying at half staff...but not in remembrance of the tragedy of September 11, 2001. No, the flags are lowered because the current dictator of the former United States wants to honor a loudmouth political idiot who kissed his...ring...and ended up being murdered for no good reason. This is still more evidence the United States is no longer a united nation. And it could be argued the downfall of the United States began when our country changed forever on September 11, 2001.
That day, of course, was when the United States began its endless "war on terror," which we ultimately lost. The Taliban are once again in control of Afghanistan, while the Bush administration used the "war on terror" as an excuse to invade Iraq. And that, in turn, led to a series of events (including the 2008 recession) that resulted in the election of Barack Obama. Like it or not, this may have been the event that resulted in the division of the United States into two separate sides that absolutely could not come to terms about anything. This led to the state of the nation becoming worse and worse...and that led to the Trump revolution, which set this country on a course that led to the effective end of democracy in the United States of America. And here we are.

I realize I got the name wrong. It was JIR Finishes who sent me the gift after he won the Wagner griddle in the giveaway contest a few months ago. It was pointed out that I was incorrect. My apologies for the mistake.

Once again, YouTube live is canceled tonight because of a family emergency. No one has hurt. At least, no one is physically hurt.

I'm slightly pissed off, and I apologize that once again the YouTube Live session for tonight has to be canceled. I scheduled the session this morning, and did food shopping during lunch. Then, an hour ago I learned I ahve to spend this evening driving around, doing family errands that have to be done tonight, and spending more money than I wanted to. Again. Tomorrow night and Friday night I am scheduled for the work pager. Therefore, I have no choice but to cancel again tonight.

After last week's unfortunate cancellation, we're here tonight for Cast Iron Wednesday! It's time for the monthly Q&A session where I get to stand in front of my cast iron and let you bombard me with questions, which I will do my best to answer. As always, our YouTube Live discussion encourages everyone to ask and answer questions about cast iron, and especially to have fun!

I apologize to everyone for not being available last night for YouTube Live. I've been running around nonstop all week, and I haven't even had time to cook since Monday. I'm doing okay, personally; I've been helping a close friend and her family with an emergency situation.

This video was brought to my attention last night. I'd never seen this YouTube channel before, even though it has over 300,000 subscribers. In this vide she claims Lodge is discontinuing their "USA Enamel" cast iron series due to lack of support. However, I looked on the official Lodge Web site, Lodge's Facebook page, and a Facebook group for Lodge cast iron (The Official Lodge Cast Iron Community), and none of those groups mention this at all. Is there any verification to this, or is this just a rumor?

A little while ago, I posted a short video showing a chuck eye steak being dry brined ("dry aged" - sue me) in the refrigerator before roasting. There were some comments on this video suggesting that you should not coat the meat with salt and pepper, but only salt; the pepper will burn when seared. Here's something that counters those comments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G2If...
