DavidB 0 #8 June 16, 2009 Mom: Texas Sweetie: Texas/NM Cast iron skillet. Mom even has a conrbread skillet. It has individual wedges. I guess it's OK if you hate cutting, & might work if you make a short batch, but it's never been used. Sweetie has a dedicated, & well seasoned, 10" skillet. The loaf falls out.When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos340 1 #9 June 16, 2009 Being the good southern boy I am, Mama taught me to cook a good cornbread somewhere along about 4th or 5th grade. The key to a great cornbread that would never stick was to preheat the hell out of the oven WITH the Cast Iron Skillet in it (Along with a Good heaping Spoonful of Crisco (Although now she went and got all health conscious and uses about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in the bottom of the skillet). Let Skillet and Oil stay in the oven until it is a good 375 degrees or so. Mix up your Cornbread batter (Cant give out that secret), take the heated skillet out of the oven after it is HOT. Pour the Cornbread batter in quickly. You should hear it crackling as it goes into the Skillet. Stick back in the oven till done. As long as the Skillet and the Oil was hot enough when you added the batter, It will never stick (provided of course you have a properly seasoned Cast Iron Skillet) and will have the best golden brown crust ever. Today helpful kitchen hint from Jello-J. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Don 0 #10 June 16, 2009 When I was a kid, my mom had cornbread pans that had molds so they came out looking like little ears of corn. Anyone remember those? Edit to add, they were cast iron.I am NOT being loud. I'm being enthusiastic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rlucus 0 #15 June 16, 2009 I grew up with corn bread cooked in the muffin pans... sometimes cast iron sometimes not. My issue is now that I'm living in Alabama, I have very different expectations of what cornbread should taste like... cornbread should be sweet. Apparently down here they call that Yankee bread.

There is a lawyer/Bottom feeder joke in there somewhere but I just don't have the heart to make it about someone that is deprived of good Home cooked From Scratch cornbread..Microwave cornbread. No one, Not even a Lawyer deserves such a punishment.Next thing you know, Some heathens on here will say they don't crumble up day old left over cornbread in a huge glass of milk (Preferably fresh Butter Milk) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
