    I was a journalist …
    I was a journalist for some 30 years. It was SOP to correct people grammar for several reasons. The prime reason was the person interviewed usualy did not want to appear ill-educated in print. Another reason is clarity so the reader would not be confused by what was said. Non-standard language can get in the way of understanding. It was always a perpetutal temptation to not correct quotes and let people see just how poorly some people communicated.

    I see… well I just hope that you can spell your prescriptions correctly… or else you might bring some real harm to a patient… oh… but wait… you are not actually a doctor are you… probably more of a ‘holistic’ doctor? Or perhaps a naturopath? I hear that you don’t need to be able to spell in order to practise that ‘medicine’. But hey… no harm… and God Bless you too! Cheers.

    that is my point you proved, spelling is not my forte but I practice medicine, but so what, you fell into it, and rude, have a nice day, you think that was cute, you think I did not know I may have spelled something wrong, and yes this is a running senence, take a look at the golden rule, and have a nice day,
    even though you are an you are my fellow man, God bless you

    Oh yes… how rude …
    Oh yes… how rude to correct other people’s grammar. Instead, allow me to correct your spelling: ‘grammer’ is actually spelled ‘grammar’. But… like you said… you are educated….

  5. davidcononie Says:

    why do people …
    why do people always on youtube, find it appropriate to correct other peoples grammer, that is rude, I am an educated man, and still have poor grammmmma

    Yes, it is cast in sand. That’s why cast iron parts typically have a rough surface to them.

    Have you tried finishing the steak off in the oven? Another great thing about cast iron is it can go from the stove top right into the oven. Check out Alton Brown’s video on cooking a steak in cast iron.

    If he was, your comment would have red ink all over it, and you would be sent to the principle’s office for that language!

    I’m glad Lodge is there keeping the tradition of making standard cast iron cookware. I have a lot of their pieces and they work very well.

    I bought a Lodge grill pan a few months ago at Walmart and I love it. If you live in an apartment and you want to cook a good steak I highly recommend getting one of the cast iron grill pans with the raised ridges. For a 1 1/2″ thick steak I cook each side for 7-8 minutes with the electric stove set at 4 and then I turn the heat down to 2 and cook each side for an additional 10 minutes. After I turn the heat down I rotate the steak 90 degrees for a good grill pattern and even cooking.

    I haven’t had very good luck with Lodge products. I needed an 8″ cast iron skillet. When I took it home, I noticed that it looked a little rough, I seasoned it at least 6 times. The surface is still so rough I can sand soft wood with it. I have an old Wagnerware that is as slick as Teflon. New cast ironware is made with scrap iron. The old stuff was made from iron ore. Sorry. I wish it weren’t true.

    Only 200 people work at lodge, and that includes retail, advertisement and office staff! So there are probably only a few still working in production.

    you would probably get more money for it if you didn’t blow it up first. I would still buy the parts from you though.

    Made in America, tested in Japan!

    I prefer not to buy Made in China also but these days almost everything is made in China.
