Wow, video has been up for 18 minutes and already has 55 views. That's a sign of success. Good morning lumnah family. Have a wonderful day
Thanks for taking the time to show how you season cast iron. I needed this info. That 🍕 looks so yummy 😋. Your animals are the best! Tanner was so happy to see Gina. Nice vlog. ❤
Love when you post your video early. It's the first one I look at for the day. I chuckle every time you do. That Tanner and Fig are hilarious.
so the next time you make your dough too big, take string cheese and roll it up in the edges. it will gooey and yummy when the pizza bakes
Beat me to it ~8^) I tried to get his attention, but I guess he's too far away and a day earlier lolzzzzz! Take care.
Tracy, great idea !
I make mine in cast iron. I cook on stove for 5 mins ish just to get a crisp on bottom then oven. Top rack for the remainder of time. On 425* perfect every time.
The class started my day! I love the fact that you can make bread starter using the natural yeast in the air. I am really enjoying the classes. She is an awesome teacher.
I cook steaks in cast iron and butter and oh my is it delicious!
Pluto was not liking the cold today! Lol! Smart dog! It amazes me how cold it is there. Winter has been long for you!
You stay warm! ☺️🕊🙏♥️🙋♀️🌞
That’s exactly what I do to my new cast iron. I’m not sure it was sanded from the factory 150 years ago. I think it was similar to today’s but not preseasoned. I can remember back in the 70,s when I got my first piece of new cast iron and it was far from smooth with no seasoning. It took me several times cooking in it to get it right. I remember my Scoutmaster showing me to take it to the creek and scour it out with sand and rocks. I guess that’s the old timey way of a grinder and sander.
I still have that pan today along with many others.
I really love cast iron.
Great looking pizza making me hungry.
10 more days until spring! We were cleaning up the garden area yesterday in the sunshine! It was SO nice. Can't wait to get our Food Forest up and running.
Can't wait for May to see those baby goats bouncing around! Praying for a big melt and warm up for you all!
Blessings to you and yours!
Hi Al! I may finally have a tip for you. When your plants get taller and another set of leaves, take a tall osolating fan and put it on low and far enough away so that it gives the plants a gentle breeze. The movement of the fan back and forth replicates the wind outside. Natures way of making stronger stems.
I could watch Figaro, Tanner, Pluto cam nonstop!
So many great ideas. I use the same rack for my seedlings. I double the workshop lights side by side on each shelf. I label the plug and front of the lights according to the shelf, front and back. That makes unplugging the lights you don't use easy to determine. Plug them all to a power surge strip and to a timer set for 16 hours. Works great. Saves you time turning the lights on and off. Have a great day!
Good morning to all of you. Hope you all will have a great week !
Jill is a natural teacher! Loved her explanation of how to grow your own yeast starter! Now, to get some flour😁
I season mine the old fashion way, in a fire outside. I have a large collection and only cook with cast iron. I even season Lodge brand that I find, outside.
Tanner and Figaro are so funny together! Once you learn and get a sourdough starter going, you can make sourdough pizza dough too. If you fold your dough over in half and then over in quarters again, you can then place it on the tray then unfold it. Gee, I can’t believe the cold winter you are having, brrrr!
Watch the video by Cowboy Kent Rollins .He is wonderful with cast Iron
Oh yeah! I've seen that He will show you grilling tips as well. He is awesome!💡
🐄🐖🐟🐔🦃🍳🍽
Tanner is already figuring out how to "herd cats" lol. Thanks for the video!
Al have you tried putting garlic an butter on the edge of crust its great
My favorite is a salted pretzel crust topping!
Good idea!
Thanks for showing me the cast iron seasoning method. Best friends should always be together even cat and dogs? I like your soups recipes the best!
I am lucky to have three different sizes of my grandmother's cast iron skillets. They are so nicely seasoned and smooth.
I am confident that you will quickly find a convenient way to adjust the height of the grow light.
What a neat green and blue chef's hat! LOL
Absolutely better than any movie I have seen like this genre , under direction . Fascinating and genuine, full of love for family, animals and nature. So appreciate your sharing daily life on a growing farm .
Gooood morning Al.....love the vids on the Bacon Mobile, but missing your cooking and family table time. Keep up the great work.
I did the same thing with a lodge pan. It was well worth it and the pan has worked great for the last year. Now it is more like my old Wagner pans. Thanks for sharing Al. Have a blessed day.
So for the pizza: 2 cups water, 1 1/2 tbsp of dry active yeast (not quick yeast?), pinch of sugar, pinch of salt, seasoning, 2 tbsp olive oil, 3 cups flour?.....
yes how much flour?
4 cups of flour for the Lumnah pizza
You are just amazing❣️ Talk about husbandry❣️
The weather finally broke by us! -- only 21 degrees overnight, an 35 degrees with sun today! Spring is nearly here! Interesting about the cast iron -- I never knew they were sanded! You learn something new every other day.... 🙂 I see you have started your seedlings already. I'll be starting mine in four days. Can't wait!
Watching Figaro "teach" Tanner to herd. 😁 You can see Tanner tapping into his instincts! Really fun to watch. THANK you for showing us the idea of sanding down the new cast iron. I really hate how it's not sold smooth anymore. Couldn't figure out why! Never thought to sand it down myself, even though I've sanded down old rusted vintage cast iron a million times. Duh. I'll be doing that now, for sure! Hope your week is full of blessings!
Al.....you will be one of my lifelines soon!!! I'm over the 🌙 excited!!!! My one customer's daughter has a small farm with some extra space!!!! She's going to let me keep some livestock!! I can have small pigs, goats and chickens. I wish I could get a cow or two but beggars can't choosers. I'm so extremely happy about this. It literally will change my life!! Physical health and mental health is what I strive for without chemicals from medicine etc. Clean eating....it's all about clean eating.
That is so Awesome! =D
I have 18 cast iron pans. The smallest 6 inches and the largest is 15 inches. I also have 4 Dutch ovens and 3 flat griddles 2 of them round. Every one was bought at a flea market, thrift store, yard sale and the 20 inch rectangle flat griddle was rescued from a dumpster when an abandoned house was being emptied The 2 round ones are perfect for making pancakes or tortillas and also a large pixza. I am willing them to friends who understand their value. Old can be s good thing.
I have three cast iron skillets -- one was my mother's, one was my grandmother's, and the third my husband found at a garage sale. All are the old, smooth cast iron, seasoned by years of use -- there is nothing better for cooking.
I loved that proofing basket that Jill used. I want to find one and buy it for our use.
We have the same one and we have it listed here www.amazon.com/shop/lumnahacres
The Prairie Homestead sourdough video is fantastic. I didn’t get an email with the link this morning and sent Jill a note. She fixed the problem right away 😍
I always sand down my new cast iron and reseason it. Then it works great!💕
Try sprinkling the pan with some ground corn meal before you put the dough on the pan.
i still think you should build an outdoor wood fired pizza oven made with bricks or all those rocks laying around
Shawn James on My Self Reliance did one...fantastic!
Keeping it dutch used the same lights this year and loves them.also im 50 and still use cast iron my parents had since 1956.. No idea on the age.
Garlic butter the bottom of your crust and throw a slight dusting of cornmeal on your pan before putting down the crust .also butter the outer edge before and or after you take it out . perfecto
Well done seasoning that pan. Worked great. Tanner was sooo cute when he realised Gina was home. Lovely to see your plants growing well. 😊💞by the way, you deserve a million subscribers 💞
Lol my new fave part is watching Figaro n tanner lololol
My wife does not like cast iron. I do but it"s her kitchen. A stone slab on the oven makes a great pizza. Your method of seasoning is spot on.
Agreed, Stone is best.
You could adjust the height of your new light by putting the wires from end to end instead of across the width of the light. Thanks for all the great vlogs.
Thanks for the great demo on sanding down & prepping your pizza pan ! I have a wall full of cast iron. 2 of them are big , long griddles. I will try making a pizza on one of them !
Wow glad it worked on the seasoning.
good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨🌾🎥👍✝
As a side gig I strip and restore cast iron. I buy, sell and even do jobs for others that want me to restore their cast iron. The difference between vintage cast iron and new cast iron is night and day! I don't work on new cast iron for the very reason you described. I can strip off the baked on factory seasoning but it will never be smooth unless you do what you did. I have 130 year old skillet that I use everyday and the inside is like looking at black glass. So smooth and completely nonstick. I love cast iron for cooking!
Al if you put butter or olive oil on the edge of the crust before baking it will give it a brownish color to the edges and the pizza will look just like one you get at your local pizza resturant ...you can use a pastry brush to put it on the edges of the dough :-)
Thanks for showing how easy it is to change the bumpy "new" cast iron into the better quality! Wow!!! I inherited a bunch of old cast but love some of the newer pieces. I can now try out your technique! Also how to use flax seed oil using the capsules, what a great idea. I have had the bottle go rancid from not using it enough. Thanks Al. Now all you need to do it post that pizza crust recipe! 😊 since it looks like you have it tweaked to your liking!
Thanks for the video!! Cant wait to try this. I watched the homestead crash course this morning and I think the highlight was learning about keeping the starter going day after day..
You are normally my first video in the morning but this morning I watched the heritage cooking video first. I was so excited and it was awesome. Can't wait to get started making sourdough. I love your videos and now i have to get a cast iron pizza pan. Thanks for the seasoning tips.
Love cast iron pans next time you over roll the Pizza dough just roll it under to get a bigger crust on the edges you could even stuffed it with string cheese. And if you pop the broiler on for a few min it will add a little coloring.
the roller you are using to punch holes is called a docker. I used to make pizza for a job.
As I ate my rewarmed pizza from last night...Thanks for the tutorial on how to take the really bad surface of Lodge-ware down to a smooth, functional cooking surface. I can do that!
Al, if you fold your pizza dough into quarters and then lay it on the pan it is easier to handle and less chance of tearing it.
When seasoning your pan, turn it upside down so the oil won't pool. It doesn't matter how thin you make your coating, it can pool and get sticky. It didn't take long at all to sand it, so that shouldn't account for a higher cost.
Good demo of sanding changing rough cast iron pan to smooth and seasoning...great looking pizza and tanner is the star!🐕💥😊
the lights does not need to be that close to the tray. raise it up to cover the entire tray. Great idea about grinding the cast iron surface.
Wow. I didn't know why the difference between a passed down cast iron and the new ones. And now to think of it. I have more problems with the newer cast irons then the older ones.
I also love the flat pan. We are currently building our collection up. Still a few I need to make time to reseasoned.
From one homesteader to another keep on keeping on! Thanks for teaching what you learn.
Seriously the greatest solution ever for cast iron.
I will be so glad for you guys when spring arrives there. We have had a very long, cold and wet winter too, but not as severe as your winter! Come On Spring! We're All Ready For Some Warm Sunshine!
Love that pan. Spring is almost here.
You know. I have a ton of cast irons here. Many old and some new. I never liked the new ones. I never felt like they worked near as well. Not to mention they are sooooooo much thinner than the old beefy ones. I never thought that hard about the “grit” factor in it being finished. I always assumed the old ones where smoothed by years upon years of use. I know now what I need to do to my newer ones. Thanks a bunch!
Cool tip on the sanding and seasoning.
The cat and dog get along great cute how they play lol. 😃😃
I watch heritage cooking and love to learn how to make a starter. My favorite was the bread.
You know I had wondered about the way new cast iron felt! Now I know what to do with it.......as soon as I get the tools! Lol! On my list! Thank you!
I have a 25 inch cast iron skillet I use to bake pizza in, works great for parties. My son reminded me he has dibs on it when I'm ready to give it up..lol
I love the music and your video when you were bringing out the big gun sander! Made me laugh. I haven’t ever heard of using the oil from the capkets. I’m deploying.
Also try rotating your trays every day so you get even growth on both sides of your trays. It should give you straighter plants.
If your going to spend a $100.00 plus for a polished pan or skillet buy an old Griswold, Erie (pre-1900) or Wagner pan. I love them.
I use a pizza stone for my pizza and have good results. But I certainly understand the benefits of using cast iron as I am a Chicago native and was raised on deep dish cast iron pies..
Love our cast iron. My mom still has all hers from the 50's.
Do you ever see the goats playing with the tether ball? That was one of my favorite games as youth. Willow wanted to see if she could learn how to unlock the door, lol😂
No they don’t. Olivia likes playing with it when we go and check on the goats
Yup your research paid off !!! The cast iron of today isn't the cast iron of old. I do a lot with cast iron and I'm constantly looking for the older stuff like Griswald. Thrift stores and garage sales are the best place for old cast iron. The pre-seasoning they claim is also not good seasoning. Enjoy your new cast iron !!!!
Tanner loves mumma so sweet how excited he gets when Gina comes home
Great idea using flaxseed oil to season the pizza pan. I always use lard, but I will try the flaxseed. Try adding a pinch of onion and garlic powder to you crust mix with your herbs. It's awesome! Hope you warm up soon. It's 41* in Indiana today, and feels like heaven. The hens in New York City are scarfing the sea weed fir the vitamin D. We all need sun shine to get vitamin D.
Hi Al glad to see you’re being safe when using machines that throw out airborne particulate matter. Brrrr is right it’s very cold here in Connecticut as well. Oh I Love Figaro and Tanner playing , so cute. We take our cast irons and coat them in canned crisco and start a heavy fire in the spring and give them a good burning. After they are seasoned we wipe them out and try not to use soap, just wipe. Have a great day.
Hope that sanding didn't void the warranty.... Thanks for sharing another great video. ATB : )
It did
I’m so glad you shared about the cast iron pizza pan. I love cast iron but never thought of that item.🎉
All the new Lodge pans have a rough texture because they need to be rough when they spray on the seasoning. The rough texture is needed so the seasoning has something to stick too.
Next time go ahead and make it the same size and let it hang over the sides the put cheese rectangle slices on the edge then pull the hanging dough over it for a stuffed crust pizza so you don’t need to change your recipe you can change the stuffing to deferent things to spice it up and make it fun
WOW! So much great video Al!Where is your nice orange hat? Willow is looking plump! You’re so good to your animals! I loved the Heritage cooking class today! I need some whole wheat flour to get my starter going! The bread recipe left my mouth watering. 😘 Great idea to smooth your pie plate! Why flax seed oil over regular vegetable oil? Gonna try it!
last couple of minutes use your brioler to add in browning the top
Hi Al, I think your seed starting is being affected by the cold coming thru the window. I have done this similar setup and had to move to interior space for better results. Just FYI
Have been catching up on the videos. Season all my cast iron with Crisco and or lard only. Still laughing about you wanting spring really bad. Knowing about all the storms still to come down the pike. Have a great weekend.
Try using Ginger Snap Cookies to thicken the gravy in your next pot roast instead if flour! Love you all...stay blessed! Thanks for the finishing idea on new cast iron! I love and make my Kambucha in my wellness spa clients love it! Enjoy your classes n ill enjoy watching!
that pizza looked delish yummm!. next time if the dough is to large you could make cheese stuffed crust coated in garlic butter. i love Lodeg and have several pots but have not enough room for the pizza skillet. we cook store bought pizza on a stone, preheated it takes about 5 min off the suggested cook time.
Another nice video, I get such a kick watching the cat and dogs and their silliness =) . Al, I just love the way you say thank you to the hens for all those eggs =D .
If you make your dough to big again, you can put cheese around the edge and fold the extra dough over it and have cheese stuffed crust!
Thanks for the instructions on the cast iron!!! I'm going to grind ours down now!!!!! I'm tired of it sticking!
This winter has just been crazy! This week is looking better though, 51 on Thursday :)
Love my pizza stone. As hot as the oven will go which is somewhere around 550°F. 10-12 minutes.
if you get a bag of Italian 00 flour off amazon (really not much more expensive either) it makes a big difference in the taste of your pizza dough and gluten structure, also letting it sit in the fridge for 1-2 days to rise instead of a short 2 hour rise helps to develop more yeast flavor if you're looking for more stuff to try. i've been on the same quest to make great homemade pizza good luck!
Enjoyed the video and yes you do make me hungry. Great idea on sanding the cast iron yourself and then seasoning it. We bought some cast iron serving skillets like they bring your fajitas to the table on at a Mexican restaurant. They were rough like your pizza skillet. I might have to redo ours now using your treatment. Thanks again and y'all take care and God bless.
Loved today’s vlog. They’re all good. Suggestion/Question...Why don’t you let Tanner run free when you guys go out & then put him on lead when you get to each pin, or leave him free even then w/ a command to wait? Where he going to go? The exception would be when you walk your daughter to the bus, of course. It’s good for his confidence, & allows him to make mistakes on your watch. Just a suggestion. Blessings.
After using numerous vintage smooth cast iron skillets, new lodge cast iron skillets, and new lodge cast iron skillets I sanded. I can tell you without a doubt the smoothness has nothing to do with how non stick the surface becomes. It’s all about the seasoning (how he did it is good). Even if the pan is smooth as glass, If it’s not seasoned correctly you will have problems. There are several videos on RUclips with people frying eggs in new un-sanded dry, as in no cooking fat added, lodge skillets, and the egg slides all over the place. However if you are going to smooth them out for whatever reason don’t use an angle grinder, you will wear groves in it just like he did in the video. A simple hand sander is all you need and you can get the job done in just a few minutes.
This video was very informative thanks Al for taking your time to do the investigation and putting it all on video. 👍
Everything is better in a cast iron pan Al! I love my cast iron pans. A lot of people also sand the newer cast iron and then season. I wish they wouldn't put the rough texture on there, but they do. Tanner and Figaro are so funny together, looks like our little Kahlua, the mini Aussie and my G. Shepherd playing. lol Hope you get good success with your grow lights. The pizza looks so yummy. We eat a lot of homemade pizza in this house too, but I've never seen a cast iron pizza pan! I will be getting that one.
