Thanks.<br /><br />And . . . I vote for org. sunflower or org. olive oil. We really don;t need anything else.

It is all I ever need. I do think I could do without the 2.5qt buffet and would like a 5qt dutch oven (preferably le crueset) some day. But this set should last me a lifetime!<br /><br />In addition to the health benefits (cast iron actually adds iron to our food :D), I love the nostalgia and relating to pioneer women (with strong biceps) who cooked everything from stews to bread with their cast iron skillets and dutch ovens.Alisonhttp://www.ahmaydesigns.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335794871408459887.post-57657112085681058152009-05-28T06:44:24.415-04:002009-05-28T06:44:24.415-04:00Vehement - that sounds like such a great collectio...Vehement - that sounds like such a great collection! I love Lodge too and yes, made in the USA. I saw recently a bunch of cast iron made in China, I passed on it. Lodge is one of my fave brands and the older ones are better. Oh gosh - I didn't even think about the microwave directions on organic food, that gets me too!<br /><br />Faye - yes, I'm also partial to my Le Crueset. <br /><br />Thanks, Kelly and Jane for stopping by and adding your thoughts.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07112398754670432765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335794871408459887.post-32026365456822421742009-05-28T04:05:16.001-04:002009-05-28T04:05:16.001-04:00At last someone else saying similiar to what I hav...At last someone else saying similiar to what I have been saying for a while. People are so conscious of eating organic, local and fair trade produce though not exactly how they are cooking the food. <br /><br />I came across the <A HREF="www.nakedpan.com" REL="nofollow">NakedPan</A> which is a recycled (75%) cast iron, recyclable, non rust, naturally occuring non stick (due to traditional firing and modern production methods), stylish to even serve from the table and are great in the oven, on top of the stove - whether it is gas. induction or electric.<br /><br />They are also handmade by artisans. They will send you the pans from Japan and the service provided is excellent. <br /><br />Been using the two handled pan and Wok for the past 8 months and really love it. Hardly use my stainless pans - unless I am steaming some veg. <br /><br />Happy cooking and lovely to read your article! <br /><br />Yours<br /><br />JaneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335794871408459887.post-82031992916618469722009-05-27T23:07:00.254-04:002009-05-27T23:07:00.254-04:00Great safety tips - thanks for joining in on Real ...Great safety tips - thanks for joining in on Real Food Wednesday!

For baking I have all stoneware and one stainless steel sheetpan. thanks for the post- It kills me to see organic food with microwave instructions or good food in a teflon laced pan- ack!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-335794871408459887.post-58597419295182548562009-05-27T18:30:42.658-04:002009-05-27T18:30:42.658-04:00Excellent tips, Annie.

I've got a couple reviews of Mario Batali's Everyday Essentials Pot, and Emeril Lagasse's Cassoulet model.<br /><br />I'm glad you mentioned the finer points of using conventional non-stick pans. I know lots of people who let them heat up dry until they are blazing hot; all the while unknowingly unleashing all sorts of invisible chemicals in the air.Faye @ GreenOrganicMama.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17869754344419946029noreply@blogger.com
