Lodge Logic LMSRC Rectangular Mini Server, Black, 10-Ounce

I wouldn't have known what to do with this a year ago. A small cast iron pan with handles for pot-holders. What's it for?

Then I had what may be the best dinner of my life, at Mario Batali's new Vegas steakhouse, Carnevino. It was early fall; they had an item on the menu, "Market Peppers." Vine-fresh, long skinny red sweet peppers were seeded, cored, brushed lightly with olive oil, sprinkled with sea salt, and oven-roasted and then brought to table in this little pan, or one very much like it. The pan was so hot that it kept sizzling them right at the table; you served yourself and the sweetness, the good roasted flavor where the hot iron had seared the pepper skin, was just unbelievable.

You can make this, and other similar vegetable, potato and mushroom dishes, at home in this wonderful little pre-seasoned pan. Because it's cast iron, which retains and delivers heat wonderfully, you need very little oil; foods sear nicely without scorching, and cook through without needing to sit in a puddle of oil to do it.

I pretty much want this on the table every day, filled with delicious roast things. You can also use it for breakfast scrambles, one-person casseroles or pot pie, or pretty much anything else you like it's cast iron, it's indestructible. Just don't put it in the dishwasher no soap please, just clean by rinsing under hot water with a stiff brush, then coat with oil lightly and put it away.

If your lifestyle is anything like mine you're probably the last one to sit down at the dinner table. Having cooked the dinner and brought it to the table, you sit down and your food is cold. I hate that! I purchased six of these mini servers, and I couldn't be more satisfied with them. Because they are cast iron you can put them in the oven and bring them to the table, (don't forget to use pot holders), and put a pot holder underneath to protect your table. The food stays nice and warm till finished. I make up a casserole recipe and spoon a serving into the mini server, place a little cheese on top, pop it in the oven. The cheese melts down through the food, so yummy, and warm food! Because it's cast iron, you have to care for it. Scrub it out with a nylon brush and hot water, never use soap, dry it immediately, wipe a thin coating of olive oil on it, or any other oil, and you're good to go for next time. I've never had anything stick to the pans. There are probably numerous uses for these, but this is how I use it. I highly recommend this pan.

It is small, but perfectly sized to sit on our fireplace insert and heat up food. I do not know much about cast iron, but it seems like it will last a long long time. I would buy it again.
