nothing is more manly than heating a cast iron skillet up to 600-900 degrees and throwing a steak in there, smoke rolls out like you wouldn't believe.

The pansy way to cook a steak is anything that involves propane..

umm, alot of stoves run off propane :p


maybe in a trailer park. :beer:

spidey07's description of the pan-searing method

Get out of the house once in a while and you'll realize that most high-quality Steak Houses sear steaks in a similar manner.

I love a nice grilled steak, but pan-searing is still a superior cooking method.

sorry I disagree, I've had both. You lose the grill taste when you pan sear.
With a superior cut of steak, meat flavor > charcoal flavor.

Nothing wrong with microwaving pizza, at least not Lou Malnati's Deep dish pizza with buttercrust.

Now if it's a crispy thin crust pizza, indeed it should be illegal to microwave!

The Rotisseree (sp?) on the Grill is for Roasts!
The Oven is a mystical device, not to be used by men!


***Correction****
Rotisseree (sp?) is NOT for steaks, normal Grilling is for steaks. I meant to say Roasts.

Pan Frying a steak can be great if you know what you are doing.

Microwaving a pizza never has a happy ending...

You're not using the oven, you're using the broiler. There's no mystery there, it's just a really hot fvcking open flame! :thumbsup:
I prefer the cast iron/broil method.

I pan fry my steak all the time. Cast iron anyway, sear for 20 seconds, then stick in oven for the rest.

Microwaving pizza is fine. Depending on the dough and way its made, I sometimes like having a slightly chewy pizza to eat, and then using the chewy crusts to dip into a garlic or marinara sauce.

I always pan sear my steaks in a very hot cast iron skillet with a little butter. You can't make a better steak IMO.

Pizza OTOH just gets mushy in the nuke machine. Oven warming takes longer but the crust stays crispy that way.

I vote nuking pizza is more of a sin.

A rotisserie for steak? I've never heard of anyone cooking steak like this. Large roasts? Yes. Steak? No. Steak either goes on the grill, seared in a cast iron skillet or on the broiler pan in the oven.

those that say pan frying a steak isn't good just don't know how to cook.

so my vote is pizza in the microwave.
