New Pots And A Long Weekend

So this came...


And this too...



and I have a long weekend so I bought this..


I has me some plans. rather then opening a bunch of threads on each new piece and everything im doing I thought I would just update the use on all the use through out the weekend here. Of course first things first...

 

First up... not dinner, its to late for that, but some very boring and tedious maintenance work



But then, I like this kind of tedious. Man I had the burners set so far apart,...


And let both pans come to temp for about 5 minutes and after a few minutes, I couldnt believe the difference




Guess we know which one is the "bacon" pan

btw whats the easiest way to clean the brown bits off the outside of the DeBuyer pan ?(from the pour out), or should i not worry about it?

 

Yup. I'm starving and you post this.

 

uhhhh so tomorrow is sausage and peppers in a simple tomatoe sauce over spaghetti day... come full tomorrow night lol

 

I'm on my way.

 

Alright Jason, hope you ate

Cooked the Sausage in the dutch oven to keep the flavour in there and when ready prepared the cast iron pan for browning


While browning I began with the peppers with some seasoning, and began to heat the water for thr pasta... more to come as we go.... this is live btw

 

Took the sausage out of the pan to rest a bit so I could cut into bite sized pieces...

and dumped what was left from the cast iron pan into the dutch oven with the green peppers.


ill add lots of sliced garlic let that soften then comes the camned tomatoes

 

Add the canned diced tomatos and deglazed bottom of the oven.... cut up thr sausage and back in we go... put the lid on to get it back up to temperature, but ill take it back off so it can simmer down some liquid to thicken some

hmmm some of the sausage pieces seem to have been left behind... guess ill snack on them whil i wait.... what else can i do now with them

 

So in the pot now we have the diced canned tomatoes, sausage, its juices, A little butter from the cast iron pan browning, some evoo, the green peppers, garlic, salt and pepper, and some fresh oregano. just simmering away...



now we wait till it thickens a bit and cook the pasta.... Im Hungry

 

James next time try degazing with a healthy splash of red wine reduce slightly then add your tomatoes.

 

By the looks of the liquid on top, we will be simmering for a while, so I shut down the pastas boiling water for now

 

that was actually the plan.... but I forgot I gave my last bottle of red wine away going to a bday party a couple of weeks ago.... so it was the tomato juice or water... or iced tea,... but thats just odd

 

Last bottle of red wine?!?!?

 

well second last... but the other one is a good bottle thats only 2005 and I didnt want to crack it yet lol but maybe this would have constituted an emergency

 

Oh Em Gee.... just went outside for a few minutes and my kitchen smells like heaven.... just saying

 

MmmmMMm you can cook for me anytime.

Looks yummy

 

I used a nice Hess Select last week in sauce not quite 05 but nice. It just meant I had to enjoy the rest while cooking and eating!

 

Topped with fresh basil.... im glad im me right now. see y'all after my food coma

 

Looks great James!

 

it was great, been a while since i put some real cooking together... i totally forgot the bread, but i didn't have room for it anyway.



all cleaned up, this cookware did great both in cooking and in washing. now i need to figure out what to do with the prime rib roast... i bet it will need red wine whatever it is lol.

But for tonight all I have to do is relax...
