I have my first cast iron pan. It's a lovely enamel coated one that is a
dark green, sort of a pine color to match my kitchen. My mom gave it to
me. Can't wait to cook with it! I still need to season it first and
I've been reading the little booklet that came with it for care
instructions.

I love cast iron pans, do you have any plans on what you'll use it for
the first time? I'll be using mine tonight for cooking a Scotch fillet
and some asparagus spears, fresh from the garden.

Happy early birthday! Enamel coated isn't the same as regular cast
iron. It likely doesn't need much seasoning. But do read the booklet
because I don't know what *new* enameled cast iron is like these days.
The pieces I have date to the 1960's.

Enjoy! But if it is enameled (in and out), it doesnt need seasoning
and in fact can't be seasoned.

I was confused by that, did the booklet say something about
seasoning?

Anyway, a very Happy Birthday, Cheryl!

I've seen cast iron cookware that's porcelainized on the exterior
only, the interior is bare cast iron.

Duffy had two teeth extracted several years ago and another tooth
removed last year. He came through the procedures in great shape, and he
is now 18.5 years old. I hope you will have the same result

Happy birthday, Cheryl.

Ok, thats different then. I've never had one they bothered to enamel
the outside of (why bother?) but if the inner is raw iron then yes,
curing needed.

Methods vary but with an outer enamel, might be fragile to the older
methods? The fast modern way is to wash off any coating but do NOT set
to dry. Oil it liberally ater a fast blotting with a paper towel (all
exposed iron, normally this would be all over top and bottom as well as
handle). Set in oven at about 175F for 2 hours.

That is only a basic cure. It takes time to make a patina (50-60 uses
at least) and you do not soak these in water or add to the dishwasher.

So the cooking surface is bare cast iron? If so yes it needs to be
seasoned.

Trivia: Staub mans "dust" in German. I wonder how they sneaked into
France, or maybe they're in Alsace-Lorraine.

More trivia: A Staubsauger is a dust-sucker, or vacuum cleaner.

How do you season enamel? The only "seasoning" I've ever seen on
enamel is something you'd want to remove.

Yes, just on the outside. Here's a shot of it, not cleaned up or
seasoned yet, you can still see where the stickers were on the inside.
Been too busy with work and the damned cat. She's been a pain in the ass
today, hasn't slept all day because she's noticed that I sneak some dry
food to the other cats and she doesn't want to miss that. She's eaten
plenty of canned food so she isn't hungry, she's just stubborn. I made
her some chicken tonight and she ate it all, and enough for the morning,
so I'll have to be creative to feed all 5 cats while not letting her get
to the dry food, and not locking her up like a prisoner. What a PITA.

With the flash it looks so much greener than in my kitchen light.

Staub cookware made in France. Pricey...yikes. I wouldn't turn any of it down
if presented

I think Staub is better quality, more attractive, and less expensive
than Le Creuset. Check out their Specialty products, I like their
teapot, and tagine.

Furthermore, you know that it's safe, like US Lodge, and not made of any
old junk that might occur in Chinese knock-offs,

Staub is high quality cookware, I think nicer cast iron than Le
Creuset. I looked at the images of fry pans and to me it appears that
the inside of yours is coated too, just not with color... I would
follow the seasoning directions exactly as indicated and if you have
questions contact them:
http://www.zwillingonline.com/aboutus.html
It appears Henckels cutlery acquired Staub and several other high end
brands; interesting browsing:
http://www.zwillingonline.com/shopbybrand.html
I think their Aurora line is a better product than over priced
All-Crap.

Of course no cookware beats PIAZZA or even comes close:

I was thinking the same thing. Might that be black enamel on the
inside? It doesn't look like mine did when they were brand new.

I noticed the same and posted that previously, you just beat me to it.
They mention the interior coating on a different piece of cookware.

This is right from the manual. They do say "special" cast iron so since
I've never had a cast iron pan before I have no idea what they mean. I
will be heeding the warning to warm up the pan progressively.

I hope that's a good thing and that I can still use recipes that
indicate cast iron cookery. It's very heavy. That's one reason I haven't
looked into buying one for myself because I have some carpal tunnel and
arthritis. But, I have really been wanting one anyway.

Should work but check over the booklets curing process. I can tell if
that's just a temp coating that will cook off (to prevent rust in
shipment) or something real and lasting like a teflon sort of thing.

If it's meant to be cooked off, do that before adding actual food you
will eat.

For the record, I never once even considered sleeping with you. And
you know that. You're the one who somehow got the idea that I was
going to move in with you - and you posted that to RFC just out of the
total blue.

After having met you twice at casual austin.food gatherings 2 or 3
years ago and not giving you any indication that there was any sort of
romantic interest in the least, you somehow twisted that into MY
MOVING IN WITH YOU?

That was just way too Psycho for me. I sat there at stared at the
screen for at least 15 minutes wondering, WTF? That was just way too
spooky. I've met weird, semi-psycho women before but you win, hands
down. Mapi of austin.general still holds the male title, but at least
he announced his psychosis right there lying on the floor of the bar
at B.D. Reilly's rather than romantically obsessing over me for 2
years.

Needless to say, you need to come to terms with what happened and why
your mind works that way and stop making up excuses for your fixation
and disappointment before we become the next Yoli and Michael. I'd
prefer you use a sniper rifle on me from a few hundred yards away.
There you go - a reason for you to buy yet another gun and ammo.

And Jeremy, I was just tired of your decade of bullshit and visions of
grandeur about all these things you're "working on" or have not done
in the past. Even posting a call for meetings with imaginary people
about imaginary projects of yours at "the normal time and place", as
if you are somebody important with a life. I'm pretty sure you're
manic depressive mixed with habitual liar.

Sorry I don't fit either of your Ideal Psycho Pal Profiles.

You've tried that whistling past the graveyard lie before - fact is,
they're done here, over, on group ignore ftmp.

And the other groups they infested, they've been frogged out of those
too and into uselessnet humiliation.

Facts are facts, Bwyann.

Now go **** yourself.
