- Teaching young cook how to make Bacon & Eggs on Lodge Cast Iron for the first time. She is great at asking the right questions, listening & learning. By the end of the video she got it mastered. If you know how to do bacon and eggs, you've got the basics of how to use cast iron learned.
We also use the Lodge Sportsman's Grill LSG to make burgers for a bacon, egg, cheese & avocado burger. We also put in a quick fabrication of a grilling table in this video and this is the maiden voyage for the camp cooking table.

Not sure why, but this was surprisingly therapeutic to watch. Thanks for sharing, I love cooking with cast iron as well.
Pengepugeren glad it took things down a notch. We all need that nowadays. Thank you for watching.
I'm a Gen Z in my last year of college and just inherited my grandfather's cast iron skillet with the ring at the bottom. I've been watching cast iron skillet videos these past few days to make sure I don't destroy this old skillet and your videos have helped me out tremendously. Thank you for making this video and for your cast iron skillet playlist.
Sorry, I missed this great comment. I’m very excited you are traveling the cast iron cooking journey that we’ve all made. How’s it going 6 months later?
I swear one of you gen Zers should start a learning to cook channel. It’ll be huge in the next 5-10 years.
This is how you spend time with your kids the right way !
Yeah man! Investing in the future.
As a person who collects, buys, & restores cast iron I loved this video. Sorry if I missed the intro but if that is your daughter she is getting some good dad-life lessons and soaking them in. Mine is just about to turn 12 and she shared my love for the cast iron collection. Already got her name on a few of her favorite skillets and the first piece I gifted her a 1900’s Griswold waffle iron because that’s what she always asked for and helped make on Sunday mornings! Just had the handles sent off to a chrome plating shop for the final touch, it’s a beautiful thing to teach ur kids too cook & grill!
Chad Dugger my best friend’s daughter, been watching her grow since she was itty bitty though. I’m glad you liked the video! I gave her 2 vintage classics to get her started.
All I can think is I wish all wiser men like these were as respectful as they were here with her. I really needed a father figure guidance and all mine failed me. Anyway. Someone said therapeutic. I agree. Can’t wait to use my cast iron outside and hopefully pass down knowledge to my kids.
Awww, every princess deserves a good father. I've raised 3 daughters. I too wish there were more good men in the world.
I got excited when my boy wanted to learn about cast iron! Great job!
And a new cast iron lover is born! Love it!!!
I get best results by putting bacon in a cold pan& cooking at low/medium heat, flipping every min or so. Keeps shape better.
Fantastic teacher, had to give you the sub!
I liked the video, your teaching style for this sort of thing is on point to what new chefs need. Just got a cast iron skillet for myself (brand new Lodge, 10.25" Buffalo Nickel edition) after one of my friends crashed with me and kept his on my stove. I found that it was better to cook breakfast on than the cheap teflon pans I had. I know Lodge probably isn't the best but I haven't had a chance to look for them in antique stores lately, and it's just so convenient to be able to order them.
Lodge is good enough, gets better with use.
Ok, 1 comment & 2 questions. Comment, very nice, enjoyable video. I like the way you basted your eggs, my mother taught me to spoon the grease over the eggs, it never crossed my mind to use the spatula to splash over the eggs!! 2 questions, 1st, do you save your bacon grease for future cooking? My most used cooking fats are either bacon grease or clarified butter, occasionally peanut or sesame oil. 2nd question, @16:31 you're your holding a plate of today's dinner, where did the French Fries come from? Is another video in the works for fries &/or onion rings??
I use homemade wild pig lard. You can see it in my last wild hog hunt smoked pig video. I also save some of the bacon grease in the fridge if I run out of lard.
The fries are so easy, I should do a quick video. They are always a hit.
You might need to modify your channel name now 😉. I gave my daughter her very own LODGE cast iron mini wok for high school graduation two weeks ago. She will end up with quite a bit one day (a long time from now I hope!), but I wanted her to remember when she got her very first cast iron piece. You are a good instructor, and I bet those burgers were delicious!
Thanks man! It is cool passing on the knowledge. Your last video was spot on too with that cast iron cook.
You should try a burger with egg, tomato, lettuce, beets. It’s my absolute favorite .. very Australian to add a slice of beets( we call it beetroot) 😋
hello i have the sortsman grill also love it and cast iron cook ware question where can i get the wind screens curved metal for the grill thanks Henry
Those are scrap metal pieces I came across. You might be able to go to your local hardware and bend some aluminum sheets.
Good informative video. I have to do a lot of this with my stainless steel skillet.
Similar concepts for sure, but still vastly different in heat interaction
@@TeachaMantoFish I've been binge watching your LSG video play list. I like your style, explanations, simple recipes. You have a new subscriber here. Have a great day!
Great video
Thx!
You should always start bacon in a cold pan on a low heat, it will render the fat out without over cooking the proteins.
I find your method is best for people who like chewy bacon. I too like starting off with a slightly preheated pan because I like mine crispy though.
Always avoid advice that starts "You should always" cook this way... concerning cast iron and carbon steel cooking. Bacon should be room temp, should be turned frequently, thick cut, seasoned pan, on and on ... There are many variables involved. That being said, works for me.
Just made them off this video, delicious.
I’m glad it worked for ya!
I love watching outdoor cooking videos. And this was good advice. But contrary to popular belief, you don't get additional flavor from your cast iron from all previous meals cooked in it. Nor would you want that. Each time you cook on a cast iron, any oil or grease you use or that's rendered out of the food helps to season the pan even further than it was before. And that's not seasoning as in flavor, that's seasoning as in making a nonstick surface for the pan. So frying up bacon in your cast iron will naturally season your pan even further by using bacon grease and heat during practical use, as opposed to intentionally coating the pan and seasoning it in an oven like you would do before cooking with it.
You'll still want to clean your cast iron after each use, but it takes a different type of attention to clean as opposed to a stainless steel skillet. But you certainly don't want to just burn out all the old food particles or let whatever left ever food you had in there just sit, or be simply wiped out with a paper towel.
I'd disagree. You can smell it when you fire up the skillet. 1/2 of taste is smell, it doesn't always show through but sometimes it does. I've even had people specifically say that the eggs taste better out of cast iron. It tastes different because the skillet is different.
I'm not sure why gas would be considered better than induction (I have both). My induction cooktop has eight different wattage settings and can increase pan temperature much quicker than a gas burner. Gas will heat the entire pan though. Induction only effectively heats the part of the pan in contact with the hob.
The worst is electric heating element, you have much less direct control. It is mostly a function of getting used to what you have. I like fire and feel that I have the most control with that.
very nice tutorial - my bacon leaves a layer on bottom of cast - low-medium heat the whole time - so when i add eggs - they stick - no "teasing" available and yolks break - is my skillet not seasoned enough - I use that metal spatula to remove some but the bacon smears even more....dI am frustrated. - your eggs basted is how my grandma use to make - i want to do this... thanks in advance for response
@@donutdude6258 Thanks - i have found that i need to be a little less than med on our gas cooktop and i scrape the residue after bacon is released and near done... then eggs slide as they should... it took a while - - i never thought about the Sugar being the Sticky stuff.... - thanks again - gots to have my morning bacon :)
Get a good butter layer before the eggs after bacon. Works every time for me. Yes the bacon leaves the sugar behind that will cause sticking if you don't have butter or grease to make a barrier. My cast iron washes clean with just hot water and a brush.
What skillet size did you use in the video ??

The dog can smell the bacon
He loves it!
I have a dog next door to me, sounds like yours....😮
Where’s the location of this video?
Looks like they’re in Jackson Hole,Wyoming; or somewhere in western Montana.
Maybe this video was filmed in Arkansas; or Missouri?
Nope mid-atlantic states
It really is a shame but when I find a pan I don't know where its been so the first thing I do is lead test it, strip it and re-season it. All those flavors go right down the drain. Better safe than sorry I guess.
I think I'm developing a cast iron addiction, yesterday I came across a modern Lodge Saguaro Cactus pan at We Care. The problem is I live in SE Tennessee, there are no cactus. lol
The addiction is real, but don't get treatment. Only feed the beast!
@@TeachaMantoFish It's as contagious as covid. Last Saturday my wife and I were antiquing in the town where her brother lives so we went to eat with them. The subject of cast iron came up when he said "I'm not looking through somebody else's junk". The next DAY he calls from a yard sale asking if "I" wanted any skillets. I explained what to look for and identified them as best I could over the phone. I ended up offering $25 for two BSR Red Mountain #8s in great condition and they accepted. He decided to keep one of them on the way to the car, he's hooked. He got the find, the good price, and I'll end up cleaning them. The cast iron beast claims another victim. It's like Bigfoot, you might not see it but it's real. lol New channel idea - "Cast Iron Cryptid"
Your daughter is beautiful 👍
Gas is not better than induction! I have used both.
Me too, I think it depends on what you grew up on.
Sure goods good mmmm
Dear lord that egg is FRIED 😂
In bacon grease! Soooo good.
Interesting some people prefer to have a hot pan to make Bacon. Other people prefer to start with a cold pan
I usually do it on a lower temp to keep the grease splatter at a minimum, as much as possible anyway. I suppose you can use one of those splatter screens but mine is falling apart and haven't replaced it.
Can't hear you ! and my speakers are all the way up ! Checking you videos after uploading would make a huge difference.
Sorry, outdoors sound is difficult. I'll have a talk with the boom operator. LOL
I love to cook in my cast iron but that is way too much bacon grease to cook those eggs in. Totally not needed. Better to remove most of it to reserve so it doesn't get burnt or get remnants of eggs in it.
To each their own, my family loves the bacon grease basted eggs.
I save all my bacon grease, so I strain it using a coffee filter on a mason jar. If frying bacon and eggs I use two separate pans usually. If using the same pan I try to scrape off the stuck bacon bits before frying eggs because I usually don't fry enough bacon for there to be as much grease in the pan as shown in this video, the eggs always stick for me if there isn't enough grease. Maybe I'm not doing right.
He made the egg greasy and soggy. I cook the egg first then the bacon. I might even get rid of the grease vefore i cook the bacon. I dont like sloppy eggs
I like my bacon dry and crispy. Cast iron does cook good though if you prevent soggy food. I like my eggs dry not drenched in bacon grease. When i eat pasta I just use butter vecause sauce makes it messy. He even poured more grease onto the eggs to make them extra Greasy and soggy. He likes it sloppy .
Next lesson. How to sear a mouth watering ribeye !!!
Yeah man!!! She’s already gotten that lesson with this method. czcams.com/video/ysUesDaIQ40/video.html. Whatchya think?
She and her family come over to eat this all the time.
@@TeachaMantoFish Cast iron is the way to go. I'm also learning a little stainless ,for things that are not good for cast iron. Pasta sauce , and such.
@@jefferydellinger7422 have you checked out enameled cast iron? I do agree that stainless steel has a place in the kitchen too. Carbon steel skillets also.
The only thing that would have made this better would have been bacon fresh from the butcher, not that store bought junk!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
And he quit barking because he smelled that bacon cooking!!
Ed Rose someday I’ll make my own...
My neighbor got a new yippie dog. Every time it's outside, for the WHOLE deration, it is yipping. I NEVER hear them tell it to stop or shut up or admonish its behavior in ANY way!!!!!!!!! WTF dude? It's called civility!!!!!!!! I'm about to bacon flavor a sponge and throw it over the fence!!!!!!!! I HATE the thought of killing ANYTHING,,, But even with my windows and doors closed, I can't hear the TV unless I turn it up a lot! Some people REALLY SUCK!!!!!!!!! And the dog has not learned to be calm at all either. It's NOT doing the dog ANY good to allow it to bark all the time like that!
Has the dog calmed down any?
@@TeachaMantoFish Yes, A neighbor complained to the police and the police warned them of a possible fine. I guess that got their attention. I also got a device that puts out a high pitch noise we can't hear when it detects a dogs bark. I haven't had to put the batteries in it yet.
@@garrykennedy5484 nice!
