Iron Chef WAYCT - What Are You Cooking Today

[Giles]

Interested in your thoughts…..

Initial impressions - awesome piece of ironmongery designed to last a very long time. The handles are stunning and I've never seen such deep ridges on a grillpan, makes my le creuset look and feel very puny…

Planning to baptise it with a cote de boeuf tomorrow night, let you know how it fares.

I tempted to buy the 9 piece set next time I'm in Portland:

Looks an amazing set and a great future heirloom.. hadn't realised Finex was a Kickstarter projecthttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1830780035/finex-cast-iron-skillet-a-beloved-classic-updated until just now.

Didn't go with the rib but cooked an amazing hanger steak on the 'grillet' last night. Took ages to heat the pan up, the handles got warm but nowhere near scalding. I probably could have turned the gas off and cooked in the residual heat (only 2 mins per side for the steak) so I'm not sure how hot the coils would get with something bigger but they are definitely more heat resistant than anything I've had before.

It feels absolutely wrong posting in a thread with the name "CHEF" in it, as I basically cook like a college student…

That being said, I make a good 'za... They may not look like much, but y'know...

From top to bottom (standard dressing is always tomato sauce // onion // red peppers// mozzarella cheese):

smoked tempeh // pine nuts
tempeh // goatcheese // egg // pine nuts
fresh tuna // halloumi (grill cheese)
falafel // grilled courgette // goatcheese
fresh mozzarella + extra mozzarella (motherfucka)

I bung it in as soon as I start cooking, then basically ignore it anyway….

That sauce looks rich and delicious. The simplest things are often the best.
