Cast iron skillet,wok,and grill

[maggie101]

The grill makes excellent hamburgers and has 2 handles. I just got delivered a 10.25 inch skillet
I have recipes that call for a 9 inch skillet or wok. I want to make a dessert that uses a 9 inch wok. Can I sub my 10.255 inch skillet? Does something cooked in a skillet cooked at the same temp if done in a wok?

What kind of dessert? If it's a dump style you will be fine, just keep a close eye on it regarding time and heat.

Some recipes provide adjustments. You may need to add a smidgen more if everything. If this is corn bread it may turn out thinner if you don't increase your amounts but again be cautious with the time and heat so you don't scorch the bottom.

Sometimes I just give up and look for a similar recipe that fits the pan

Just onne of the many I want to make. The blueberry cake. It was only $20 so the 9 inch is $17

That sounds yummy!

I think you'll be ok using the 10.25 skillet.

Thanks. There's even a 6.5 inch skillet,8,9,10 and 12

Have you ever used cast iron? Mine is pre seasoned. Though I still have to lightly cover with oil after washing and drying it?

I haven't used it very much, but I think oiling after cleaning is good

I would increase all of the amounts by about 1/4. So, for a cup of milk, I'd go with 1-1/4 cups. For the 3 eggs, I'd go with 4. And so on. But that's just me. Before I bought a 9-inch springform pan for cheesecakes, I only had a 10-inch. And that's how I dealt with it. It worked for me.

And since you're talking about cast iron, don't use dishwashing liquid on it. Very hot water and a plastic scraper should be all you need. Dry it well with paper towels, then plop it on the top of your stove until it's really dry.

No washing? Just oil all over? I thought it would be simple to use. Thanks for the info. Much needed

I've made it in my 9x13 but this will be better. Have you made sweet potato fries in it?

I hate sweet potatoes, so no.
