(Book)

Includes index.

"Discover a new world of cast-iron cooking. From Dan Shumski, who last applied his out-of-the-box food-loving sensibility to Will It Waffle?, here are 53 surprising, delicious, and ingenious recipes for the cast-iron skillet. Savor the simplicity of Toast with Olive Oil and Tomato, because you just can't achieve that perfect oil-toasted crust in a toaster. For Homemade Corn Tortillas, no special equipment required--use the pan to flatten and cook them. (Then serve your tortillas with Single-Skillet Carnitas or Charred Tomato Salsa--or make Chilaquiles.) Take popcorn to another level with clarified butter. Enjoy a Spinach and Feta Dip that stays warm from the residual heat of the pan. Plus pastas that come together in one skillet--no separate boiling required; perfectly charred roasted vegetables; beautiful breads and pizzas; and luscious desserts from a giant chocolate chip cookie to the sophisticated Layered Crepe Torte with Dark Chocolate and Raspberry Jam. Includes detailed information on buying, seasoning, and caring for your cast-iron skillet--and turning it into a nonstick kitchen workhorse."--,Provided by publisher.

Most cooks don't think of their cast-iron skillet as an everyday multi-tasker, but Shumski shows you how to take it to another level. From breakfasting on an apple-sour cream pancake to lunching on mac-and-cheese; from starting your dinner with a spinach-and-feta dip and finishing off with a chocolate-and-raspberry crepe torte, you'll discover that your skillet might be the most under-appreciated utensil you own!
