Lookie What I Got!

(Please excuse the grammar up there but it seems appropriate...)

I'm attempting to post a pic, so here goes...

(M'okay...the pic is too big and I'm trying to re-size it so it shows the whole thing. Need to work on my picture posting skilz...but you get the gist, right?? I'll keep trying till I get it right!)

As an aside: This is about the 6th time I've reposted this silly pic, so if it doesn't make sense, rest assured, I'm frustrated....grrr....

No matter, I'm proud of my skillet. I've already made some yummy pancakes in it. It was great because I spilled some mix over the side, accidentally (sp? just doesn't look right) and when I washed the skillet, the mix came right off.

I read and reread the instructions that came with it so I'd have it down pat how to take care of it. I've had other cast iron things before but didn't take the great care I should have.

I wanted a big skillet or griddle to do up a mess of bacon and eggs. Also, from my adventure in making the tortillas the other day. Needed a bigger one for the bigger tortas.

Found out also, when I make bigger pancakes, I need a larger flipper. Hubby didn't think I was making the pancakes big enough so I poured a nice sized large one. It bubbled merrily and then needed to be flipped. So, I slides the flipper underneath, make a mental count in my head and do the flip. The pancake was so large and the flipper so small that the pancake broke in half! That's how I spilled some mix over the side! But I got the both pieces flipped and it turned out just fine after all.

Now, I'm going to post this and we'll see how my pic came out. If not, welp, there is always the 'edit' button... :-)

  1. I saw your pan on the MJG site I was surprised to hear you got it from Wal-mart. I'll have to look for one. I went to this page and saw that you were frustated in moving the picture. I haven't even made the attempt. I can put pictures on my MJG site but fear to even try to put them any where else. Any suggestions??? Happy cooking and Happy Easter.
