<\/a>Of course there are loads of recipes to create in these case iron skillets and Dutch ovens. Some I cannot wait to prepare\u2026in a cast iron skillet or not! They sounded delicious and full of flavor. The first one I might have to try is Skillet Steak with compound butter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
The advice was interesting. One would say to never place iron skillets in soapy water, and then another would say it was okay to do so. One said to never air dry, another thought it wouldn\u2019t hurt it. I suspect if the results are the same, how you achieve the finished product isn\u2019t relevant, at least when it comes to cast iron. Or maybe it does matter. They\u2019ve just managed to confuse me on these issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I did enjoy the stories from the chefs regarding the cast iron that had been passed down from generation to generation. Some even felt the cookware was as valuable as jewels or family heirlooms.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Is there something that you have received from a grandparent or ancestor that is of value to you? What makes it so? Is it the memory that is attached to the item? Is it valuable because of your relationship with the person who gave it to you? Or perhaps it is the combination of many things. Regardless, when we receive something from a loved one, it is precious indeed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While inheriting items from loved ones can be wonderful, we have received far greater gifts from God our Father. Here are a few.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Love<\/em><\/strong>: God loves us. He wants to lavish that love upon us. 1 John 3:1 states, \u201cHow great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!\u201d <\/em>As His children we receive the inheritance. The true treasure, eternal life.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Glorious Riches<\/em><\/strong>: Grace. (Ephesians 1:7-8; 3:8). Again God lavished it upon us. \u201cAnd God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.\u201d<\/em> (Ephesians 2:6-7) Without this glorious gift, we would be lost. Forever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
Jesus<\/em><\/strong>: God gave us His Son so that we might have eternal life (John 3:16). We are \u201c\u2026adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ\u2026\u201d <\/em>(Ephesians 1:5).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\u201cThanks be to God for his indescribable gift!\u201d<\/em> (2 Corinthians 9:15)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
If you love cast iron cookware, one from a great-grandmother would be a treasure! I have a couple that have been handed down and one that I have seasoned myself. Any of them will do. They simply are the best for making fried chicken or cornbread.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Grace and peace be yours in abundance,<\/p>\n
