In the first pic from L to R is Habanero Cauliflower, Pickled eggs, Apple butter. The Habanero cauliflower was not fermented but processed in a boiling water canner. It's awesome!
The second pic is a jar of refrigerator pickled veggies. No processing in a canner but must me kept in the fridge.
I crack open my crock for the first time today. Hopefully all went well and I'll have my first batch of lactic acid fermented sauerkraut. Of course, I will post the results!
This thread was actually showing you can still use cast iron at home. Quite a few of us use camp ovens in the field. How I cut my teeth Dutch oven cooking was in a packed in elk camp as a young boy. Been doing it ever since.

Actually, I started using cast iron at home just this last year with a dutch camp oven. It worked so dang well camping, I started using it in my kitchen. Then I started buying more. Now I've got more cast iron than I do reels.
(
It's my 'go to' cookware. Not that I don't love my new pressure cooker.)
I could use some more cast iron! A camp stove/dutch oven is sorely needed. I have an enamel coated dutch oven that I got as a gift, but I want a sooty blackish brown masterpiece.
Most I'm selling are pans. I'm keeping all my Dutch ovens/camp ovens. Only Dutch oven I plan on selling won't be cheap. It's an old Griswold/Wagner camp oven.

I've got a good basic inventory, I think. My dutch oven is a 10" camp oven, but I'd like to get a 12 inch model (not the camp oven) for around the kitchen. Now if ONLY they would make a cast iron pressure cooker.............
I cook with a #8 grizwald pot and 12" lodge skillet about every day. My two favorite utinsels other than my cutting board and chopping knife. On the river we use aluminum. Both work well, but I think I prefer cast iron if I had to choose and weight was no issue. Looks like some nice grub in the above posts.
A little deep dish pizza and curried trout below on the main salmon, a little egg begals cookin on the NF John Day, some pizza an the Owyhee at Jackson Hole Camp
Yeah, I agree. Was a Godsend when GSI started cranking out aluminum DO's back in the day. Sure helped. And yes, if only aluminum had the heat holding properties of cast iron. I used to carry one cast iron DO, only to bake in. Rest were some sort of aluminum style pot.
BTW, that double handled deep skillet is pretty cool. Never seen one like that. Where'd you get it?

The doubled handle "skillet" is actaully a big rectangualr DO with no legs. The lid is designed to be a griddle, the bottom is a deep dish fryer, the 2 together make the most bad as DO for cooking for 8 people you ever saw. I am surprised you never saw one, i thought you were an outfitter at one point, maybe I am mistaken. Just about all the multiday guide outfits I have ever seen have more than one of these. It was called the Rome Combo Deep Fryer (made by Rome Industries, which still makes cooking products). Unfortunately, they are no longer made, and haven't been for several years. They are nearly impossible to find used, I have actually never seen a used one for sale, and I have been looking cause I want another one for backup for bigger groups. What I heard was that the casting mold degraded to such a degree that the lid and bottom didn't fit together well, and the cost to re-make the casting mold was not justified by the revenue stream of selling them. So they scrapped production. This was probably about 4 or 5 years ago if my memory is correct.
I worked for an outfitter, was just a hired hand. I rowed a cargo boat and used my own gear most of the time. But never saw one like that. I did have a big oval roaster made by Wagner that served same purpose, just didn't have handles like that, so used vise grips for handles. Do you know where the foundry was?

The casting mold story was told to me by who ever I spoke with. I actually called this company to inquire if they had any plans of making more in the future. Not sure how much integral knowledge that person actually had though. I called them probably 3 years ago or so.
