You have electric now or gas now?

 

[redneck joe]

electric. gas puts out water vapor. I had forgotten about that over the years so the cook is different. I think they make gas tops with electric ovens that seems to be where I want to go.

Biscuits?

Gotcha. I regularly use both. For stove top I prefer the gas unless it's electric induction... those are absolutely amazing and I actually prefer them for their low temperature control.

Ovens I go either way. I like the gas since I'm more used to it and they seem to heat quicker but the aforementioned combustion byproduct of water does make things cook up weird... for example my cream puffs always crisp better in electric but the cakes stay moist longer in gas. Breads also seem better in gas as it acts like a pseudo steam oven. Though you still typically need a water pan for baguettes.

ive never mastered bread. That may become my retirement hobby.


I'm 99% antique cast iron so all warped - would induction still work on those of does it need to be flat surfaces mating?

Biscuits?

yep. Ate on the back deck at the new house overlooking the river. Spot of country ham and a perfectly fried egg. I'll make bacon gravy for the leftover biscuits to start off our week properly.

As long as it's on it the slight warp is all good. Induction is imo the best with cast.
