Use fresh summer peaches to make this Peach Crumb Coffee Cake from The Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook.
A simple cast-iron skillet is one of my favorite kitchen tools, mainly because it can be used with very high heat and retains that heat so amazingly. It’s ideal for searing steaks (one of Alton’s favorite uses) and baking cornbread.
I’m always on the lookout for new ways to put this pan to work, and The Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook doesn’t disappoint. It includes recipes for, yes, cornbread, but also soups and stews, main dishes, side dishes and desserts, with a whole chapter devoted to outdoor cooking. Whether you’re cooking over a campfire or having a backyard barbecue, nothing sets the “rustic cookout” mood better than a summery side dish or dessert served in cast iron.
Get cooking with these recipes from The Lodge Cast Iron Cookbook:

Summer Squash Casserole is a sure crowd-pleaser for any cookout.

Seafood gumbo over white rice is awesome!
I always take my cast iron skillett and dutch oven camping…love making biscuits in the dutch oven! I also make a mountain man breakfast that rocks!
I own several cast iron pans. One was a wedding present. We are now married 25 years. You can say that the pans are well seasoned. The best thing that I like to make in my cast iron pans are fried onions. No other pan can make thembetter. I also make fired eggs in the morning for breakfast.
y favorite dish is one called orange onion chops. The chops are smothered in fried onions with a tad bit of orange juice. I also have some cast iron pans in my pop-up camper. I would be lost without them.
Skillet pound cake – you get the best crusty edges ever when you bake pound cake in a cast iron skillet.
Of cast iron skillets are miracles for food.
I love making potatoes with onions, bacon and cheddar cheese ocer a fire. The potatoes get a little crispy around the edges and the cheese and bacon are always good. Yum!
This is a very useful site which gives more benefits. I found this is great for me… Thanks for it. I hope it will helps to more people.
Do I have to pic only one
Cornbread!
I make the best Irish Soda bread in my cast iron frypay. I use my cast iron pan alot. Love them
Fried potatoes with garlic and onions are my favorite. Love that crispy skin all nice and salty.
My old dutch oven has seen 40 years of custard bread pudding every chance I get.
I can't imagine a kitchen without cast iron skillets. It's just inconceivable!
I have won the dutch oven cooking contest at boyscout camp with my blackberry dumplings. But if I can do what I want then I prefer my grouse with rice stuffing.
I love to make homemade pan pizza in my cast iron pan, but honestly I use it more then any other pan I have it's so versatile.

I love the Dutch Baby.
My grandmothers cast iron fry pan, is the only thing my family will bake cornbread in. We fortunately live close enough to share it as none of the other cast iron we own seems to give us the wonderful taste and texture as the pan owned by a southern lady we all loved so very much.
My favorite thing to cook in cast iron is "Fried Green Tomatoes". They are sooo delicious fried in cornmeal and flour and Old Bay seasoning in a little bacon grease! WOW!
Cornbread. *Enter ^ . ^

What isn't a reason for having Lodge Cast Iron Ware to cook your food in?? From my cobblers on an open pit to using one of my frying pans on my gas grill cooking a Ricotta Chicken during hurricane Charlie. Or pounding out a chicken breast for a pan fry with sauteeing some asparagus. The cookwear is fantastic. Can't have enough of the Iron Ware.
