I’m Ready for Teflognarok

Posted February 2nd, 2006 at 10:57 am by Howard Tayler

I’m ready for Teflognarok. Bring the Teflocalypse. Amass the armies of Teflogeddon. I have a Lodge 8″ skillet, and it works perfectly (for my own definition of perfect.)

I had two basted eggs for breakfast, and they were delicious. They slid right out of the skillet, picture perfect. They also tasted better than teflon-skilletted eggs, but I’m willing to concede that the improved flavor was just my imagination.

I also had toast, yes — low-carbing took a hit this morning in the interest of science. You might ask whether toast was really necessary to the process, since it never comes anywhere NEAR the skillet. I assure you, it was. Basted eggs without toast are just chicken by-products.

Anyway, a big thank-you goes out to Haesselich, who so graciously provided the skillet. Between the skillet and the griddle, I’m ready fo’ da gummint to takes away mah teflon.

    I tried making an omlet in my 10″ cast-iron skillet that we’ve used for the last 30 years. It was with some trepidation that I tried it…I had visions of needing to use steel wool (or even a hammer and chisel) to chip out the vulcanized remains. I needn’t have worried. A little cooking spray before I started and it came out with no problem.

    However - and this is why I’m writing - it came out looking ‘dirty’ with lots of tiny black specks. A somewhat less than appetizing result.

    Max: That means the seasoning came off on the food. That PROBABLY means the pan got too hot at some point while you were cooking, but I’m not sure. It hasn’t happened to me yet with either of my cast-iron surfaces, so I can’t finger the problem exactly.

  1. […] Sadly, I’m very susceptible to advertising. The sign actually DID make me hungry. Fortunately, I had my heart set on going home and trying out a new skillet, so I escaped the clutches of King Burger (whose tender-yet-overcooked croissantish morsels are delectable) and had eggs at home.
