Cooked breakfast outdoors this morning with my new Lodge Carbon Steel 12" Skillet. Fantastic morning!
Menu
Red Potato Home fries cooked in bacon grease
Bacon bits
Italian Sausage
Cheddar Cheese
Egg
Method
Bacon and potatoes
Started 3/4 chimney of Royal Oak charcoal
Put 30 lit briquettes in Smokey Joe. When cooking this way I always keep about 8 - 10 lit briquettes in the bottom of chimney. This way I always have lit fuel to start the next batch of charcoal.
Cut off a hunk of frozen bacon and put it in the cold CS skillet
Cooked bacon all the way
Removed bacon and extra grease. Left about 2 - 3 table spoons in skillet.
Knocked ash of off briquettes
Sprinkled Wegmans Tuscan Seasoning on 1 large, one small cubed Red Potatoes
Added potatoes to skillet and rolled, turned, and flipped them until completely covered in grease
Put CI cover on top of skillet and added 8 pieces of charcoal in a circle on top of the lid
Covered for 4 minutes
I thought the temp on the skillet was a little low so I added 12 lit briquettes to the Smokey Joe
Flipped the potatoes then covered again for another 4 minutes
Added 4 more briquettes to lid
Removed cover, flipped and turned potatoes often until golden brown and soft in the middle
Took the bacon cooked earlier, crumbled it and added it back to the potatoes for a minute or two
Removed potatoes and bacon
Sausage
Added 12 more
Added three Italian Sausage patties sprinkled with MH American Chili Powder
Cooked for 5 minutes per side
Added slice of cheddar cheese to each patty
Covered until cheese was nice and melty
Stacked the patties on top of each other
Egg
Removed the sausage grease except just enough to coat pan
Cracked the egg into the skillet. Sprinkled it with a bit of Tuscan Seasoning and fried it for a few minutes, flipped it and removed it in about thirty seconds
Put the egg on top of the potatoes
Way too much food so I will look forward to left overs!
The result was very good. I am going to love this skillet. It heats quicker and is lighter than my CI.
What I would do next time. Since it was 36 degrees I would start with 40 briquettes in the Smokey Joe. I usually only have to keep covered for 4 - 5 minutes one time but had to keep a cover on it longer this morning. And that's it!
