We always just used a CI round griddle. What does CI stand or sit for? Would you like to humm the theme song from Jeopardy while you await your answer??

Great information, questions, and answers. I'm up to "let's get cooking" trying to get caught up on what has already been discussed to minimize redundancy. The teachers that be might suggest "son, we already covered that; were you absent? ? Appreciate the emphasis on planning, cleanliness, and equipment, especially knives. Back with more. Off to run beef from the packing plant (Dick's Meat Packing Plant of New Lexington,Oh) to a couple of locally owned restaurants. Dropped off spent grain from Jackie O's Pub and Brewery at the beef producer this morning. Boy, this is fun. Constantine

Is wood tender a promotion or demotion from water fetcher??? Sounds on the surface like less walking, but I reckon I best be fetchin if Im'a gonna have something to tend. Where's my axe? Oh, right, it's Kathy's axe and I still haven't fitted the new handle. Now there's a question. Anyone use anything to fill handle/head voids other than installing dry with wedges? I like to install a 2-3 inch piece of heater hose up against the head (sledge, maul, axe) to minimize handle loss due to the lack of proficiency of the operator....That would be me. Constantine

Constantine Figure you are safe enough around sharp objects and fires to not hurt yourself now! For axe heads, epoxy works nice if the thing isn't to be used in reenactments else wedge it and soak it, then soak it again before youuse it.

Dang. Cold is coming. Need wood. Need water to soak the head and handle. Where's my bucket dear 'Liza, dear 'Liza. Hope I've mended that hole(in the bucket). Elstwize we may need to hop over to the metal working thread for repairs.
Paws asked what I meant by the grain delivery mentioned above. We pick up spent brewing grain, deliver it to a cattle farmer, he/she takes selected fat steer and heifers to the packing plant, they process/ dry age to our specifications, then we deliver wholesale to restaurants(including the brewery), grocery, private customers, and retail at farmers markets.

I realize this site is camp cooking. However, was wondering if anyone knows of some decent cookware for the home. We need some but know little about quality.
We have an electric glass-top stove.
Any suggestions?

I haven't used a glass top since 79! I presume there have been improvements. We had problems with things burning onto the surface and of course scratching. We used aluminum clad teflon pretty exclusively at that time for frying and Revere Wear copper bottom stainless steel for everything else. I suggest that you talk to the manufacturer of the range for their recommendations.

one thing I know about them is that you cant use any type of cast iron on the top, and that you have to lift everything...no sliding at all surfaces still scratch way to easily...my SIL has one and it's fairly new...she uses nothing but polished stainless steel and her Magnalite cookwear on it...I prefer Gas always have always will..hate electric stoves....

Thanks.
I prefer gas myself, but our home is all electric. We have had the glass top electric for several years now and have little problem with it burning or scratching. We like it OK.
Guess I will have to ask the manufacturer what is recommended. We currently have magnalite (and will keep it) but we also have a set of T-Fal which needs to be replaced. I would like to find something of higher quality than T-Fal this time. We have very little trouble with scratching, etc. and have been pleased with the glass-top stove.
