Bayou Classic Cast Iron Biscuit Pan April 20, 2008

This is my first Bayou Classic purchase. Most of my cast iron cookware is by Lodge, but I decided not to purchase the Lodge biscuit pan for a couple of reasons. One, the price is almost twice the cost of this pan, and I prefer original finish cast iron which Lodge doesn't seem to have anymore. Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Drop Biscuit Pan I don't see any reason to pay more for a seasoned pan since it's an easy process that I can do myself.
The Bayou Classic pan was a little different because they coated the pan with paraffin wax which had to be removed before seasoning. Washing in hot soapy water didn't remove it to my satisfaction, so I heated the pan on top of the stove just enough to melt any remaining wax and then washed it again in hot soapy water and proceeded with the normal seasoning process. Normal seasoning for me now means:
1. open the window and cut on the vent
2. heat the cookware on stove until its warm to the touch
3. rub it inside and out with a very light coating of shortening
4. place it in the oven upside down over aluminum foil and bake it at 550 degrees for an hour (yes, 550)
5. end result - seasoned BLACK cookware, just like the preseasoned ones that you pay extra for.
When I first used the pan to make biscuits, I sprayed a little cooking spray in each cutout and let the pan preheat in the oven while I made the biscuit dough. Before adding the dough, I carefully wiped out the excess oil from the spray and dropped in the biscuit dough. I put about 2 heaping tablespoons (flatware) of dough into each cutout and sort of smoothed them out with the back of the spoon (dampened). They were delicious and just the right size for sausage and egg biscuit sandwiches.
I also use the pan to make cornbread rounds using a box of Jiffy Mix. One box is enough to fill all of the cutouts for nicely shaped rounds. Another good use for the pan is to fry sausage patties. I use the precut ones from the store and cook them on top of the stove.
The product description currently says that this pan weighs 1 pound! It actually weighs about 7 pounds. The biscuit cutouts are 3 1/4 inches in diameter and about an inch or so deep.
If you don't mind seasoning the pan, it is an excellent substitute for the pricey Lodge pan.
