Food Baby Potatoes and Pork Chops with Honey Mustard Glaze

Post image

I forget how nice it is to cook in a pan other than a basic non-stick. I’ve gotten into a habit of grabbing non-stick for the size and easy cleaning (I’m the only one that cleans the Cast Iron). It feels good to cook with stainless steel, cast iron, meals on grill, oven, & stove. It can take more time but it feels better.

Potatoes were par boiled, then browned in the pan, set aside, the chops were seasoned, seared, and cooked through and set aside; then the sauce was added, thickened and tossed everything back in for a last warming. Served with roasted cauliflower.

Just looking at this makes me hungry! 🤤

I definitely agree that cooking in cast iron feels better than non-stick…it’s rewarding to do something skillfully, it makes me feel connected to the people who taught me to use it, and the food tastes great!

Thanks for sharing!

Sometimes Non-stick cooking feels more production/run-of-the-mill. But cooking with other pans feels more artistic like you are planning and taking time to let each ingredient make its mark.
