Vermicular has a new oven safe cast-iron frying pan and mine arrived this week so I took advantage of it today to make Pull Apart Bread. Egg wash. These light weight ceramic coated frying pans are amazing. I have one with the walnut handle, which obviously can't go in the oven but it is a thing of beauty. This week I got one with an oven safe handle, it does get hot in the oven but this handle stays cool when used on the stove top as does the walnut one.

Brazilian BBQ night here yesterday. Shoulder of lamb smoked with pecan and apple chips in the 32 using the double drip pan from the 23. Picanha prepared and then spun on the 23. Nice spread. There were just six of us to dinner. Lots of lovely left overs for me to eat this week. When I was cleaning the double bottom drip pan this morning I thought I ought to show it off again. I soaked it with ordinary washing up liquid and it came up beautifully clean this morning with minimal scrubbing. Never ceases to amaze me. I find it to be a really good cooking utensil that doesn't warp and is so easy to keep looking good as new.

Two pans arrived from Rameria Mazzetti yesterday - weeks before originally expected.

The whole process took two days..it was a great batch. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Here is a typical polenta pot, from Rameria Mazzetti: I guess they can use that rondeau/casserole for polenta and lots of other things.
