Cast Iron: How to Cook a Steak

This is the must attend class for every person who feels intimidated by their cast iron pan! You’ve heard so much about how to use it, whether or not to clean it with soap, and how you should never get it wet and we’re here to demystify the most versatile pan in your collection. We’ll discuss best use practices while we create a fantastic steakhouse dinner.

We’ll heat the pans up to get the best possible sear on steaks, then make the sauce right in the pan while the steaks rest. You’ll explore the versatility of an enameled pan that can go from stove to oven and look good doing it. Plus, we’ll enjoy a delicious classic bread pudding while we figure out how to maintain the seasoning on our pan despite the mess we made in it!

As always, this hands on cooking class culminates in a family style meal around our beautiful barnwood tables.

A wine tasting flight is included with the class.  Additional wine and beer is available to purchase.
