cast iron cookware

Is that little pod, cooking platform thingy, part of the pot kit or is that someone elses? Thats pretty slick in itself.

Snapped a pic of my Dutch oven to show more detail in case anyone isn't familiar with what we are describing.  The lid has a low wall all around the edge to hold hot coals on top of the cast iron oven, adding heat from the top as well as from the bottom to brown the top of bisquits etc.  The legs on the bottom barely show but they are about 1 1/2 inches long and raise the bottom above a layer of coals.  Ones made for stove top don't have the legs of course.  The legs are for campfire use.

Here's mine:


That big skillet is 15 inches across the top, the little one is 6 1/2. The one at the top left of the picture was my wife's grandfather's. The skillets and that largest griddle at the top are all used, at least occasionally. The muffin things and the bean pot never get used. I tried to make some corn sticks in one of them a few years ago, but they didn't turn out well. My wife uses that small skillet in the center of the picture to make corn bread.

We use castiron at camp. A good long deer season cooking bacon seasoned the set we have well.

In scouts we would lightly oil the inside while still warm after cleaning then i take that paper towel and stick it so it holds the lid open. Like someone pointed out earlier they will rust if the lid is kept tight.
