Reply #3: Was the inspection of your Phoenix home? [View All]

Sorry for my ignorance.

And thank you ever so much for your grannie's recipe. Now I want to find a cast iron deep pan for frying some chicken. I never have gotten the knack for frying chicken. Fish is another story. I'm great at that. But the chicken with it's various thicknesses and bones and the white vs the dark meat frying times n' getting the oil heated up just right - well, I never have gotten the knack.

I know we have a cast iron dutch oven around here somewhere. I got that in the early 70s when I was still living in NYC. I bought it for myself and asked mom to season it for me. When it was seasoned I didn't have the heart to go take it back. Mom loved pan frying in it, so it became hers. Now it's back here with me, seasoned with love and years of her use. Maybe I'll find the knack in that!
