cast iron find at The Christmas Tree Shop

Last weekend, while looking for ‘stuff’ for the Sunspot, I found this folding 24cm cast iron grill pan at The Christmas Tree Shop for $4. It’s got a removeable bamboo and steel handle, and a low rim–perfect for a small serving of bacon or a quick quesadilla or burger. I seasoned it this weekend and made its first ‘meal’ — splurged on some of the good organic pepper bacon from the farmer’s market. This morning, I made a pork steak and grilled fennel. It’s a very cool little grill pan, perfect for camping!
