A place of Chaos, magic, delightful delicacies and dishes, and sniping directed at idiots. Welcome to Cast Iron Chaos, a personal exploration of the fringes of belief and order. This is my personal page, where I indulge in pasttimes that capture my fancy, and hopefully encourage others to open their eyes, take chances, and see the world from a somewhat different perspective. This site will NOT be

repeating the tired mantra, "Open your eyes, wake up sheeple, you are being lied to." Those words are bleated again and again by idiot conspiracy theorists. What's more, you see this nonsense in every forum in existence, regardless of what your interests are. How can there be conspiracy theorists in a hobby that should be as innocent and fun as cooking? That's easy, as there are closed-minded fools around you regardless what subject you are researching. I subscribe to the school of anti-censorship, of which the argument is follows: Expose it and laugh at it. By doing so, you demonstrate you are a better person than they are.

In fact, Dr. King was murdered in the evening, not the morning, as he stood on the balcony of his hotel room. On January 20 of this year, 2025, I stated in a video that this country seems further from achieving Dr. King's dream than at any time I can recall. Three months later, I've seen nothing suggesting that to be incorrect.

It only took about 20 minutes to return all of those cast-iron pans to their places on the rack. I’m surprised; I thought I would’ve taken longer than that.

I'd wanted to make a video for April Fools' Day called "Generic Internet Viral Foodie Video," but I didn't have time; and I also didn't want to spend the money for this. The video would have had this:
1) Put a big dollar store aluminum foil baking pan onto the counter.
2) Lay a bunch of boneless skinless chicken breasts into the pan.
3) Sprinkle generous amounts of Lawry season salt onto the chicken.
4) Dump a big restaurant-store can of liquid cheese over the chicken.
5) Cover the cheese with strips of uncooked bacon.
6) Bake in the oven until the bacon is crisp (and the chicken is way, way undercooked).

The beginning of April is when this YouTube channel has a tradition of trying something a little...different with cast iron cooking. For this April, I took the time to recreate one of those infamous Internet viral videos, and the results can be seen here. I love trying new things, and if this introduces the viewers here to something new, then that's all the better!

Folks always seem to complain when I mention politics here, so I wonder what they'll say about this. It appears this company hand-crafted a batch of maybe ten of these pans and sold them on their Web site, "discounted" to $125 from the original price of $250. the Web site says they're sold out. First of all, that can't possibly be the image of the person they say it is. Why? Because in that picture he isn't saying something incredibly stupid. Also, the video on the page shows this is more like a crepe pan because the sides of the pan are very shallow. It's shaped like a 10-inch version of the Walmart cookie skillet. The handle is designed similar to the Finex skillet, with spring handle and bronze cap. And of course it's about as subtle as a sledgehammer with its message. This pan has been posted to a few of the cast iron Facebook groups, and in every one it started arguments and the post had to be locked or removed.

While you can of course cook anything in a cast iron skillet, I wonder if any of the persons who purchased that pan have used it to cook anything at all.

For more than the past ten years, I've been lucky enough to be a friend of Jeffrey B. Rogers - The Culinary Fanatic. Jeff, of course, is known for his famous macaroni and cheese recipe, which definitely earns its name of "The Ultimate Mac and Cheese." I think the beginning of April is the best time to reveal how I made his "Ultimate" mac and cheese recipe...and hopefully he'll forgive me for this. Actually, I'm not worried at all about him being upset, and I'm simply playing an April Fool's Joke on my friend. However, this macaroni and cheese is certainly no joke! It's good enough that I haven't even bothered putting together my own mac and cheese recipe -- there's no reason to do so when Jeff's recipe knocks it out of the park! Whether you follow Jeff's recipe to the letter, or you cut a few corners in order to save time, like I did here, the end result is still fantastic. This is a macaroni and cheese recipe that's certain to keep your family and friends coming back for more.

WARNING: contains politics. Tough cookies. All I can say is, if it didn’t cost $250, I would buy a YETI cast-iron skillet right now. At least we can get a YETI tumbler. Original video: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP823tDna/

Looks like the seller doesn't want to know this was made in Korea. Thanks to a closed group for this photo.

In one of these, the guy ends up hitting himself on the head with his pan. I expect that to happen in my kitchen anytime.

I Warped My Lodge Cast Iron Wok

I enjoy these 1950s-style A.I.-generated movie trailers...but couldn't resist making an admittedly obvious comment.

Especially because this is made for teenagers, who are guests in my home this weekend, I will be calling this a “seasoned hamburger pot pie” rather than a “ground beef pot pie.”

Don’t heat your cast-iron pan on the maximum

Do I have a cast iron problem?

You don’t need to wait until Thanksgiving to make a roast turkey!

Cast Iron Holy Grail

Jeff Rogers’ ultimate Mac and cheese! This was made in a Lodge USA enamel cast-iron Dutch oven. However, I do have to admit I took a couple of shortcuts. The longer video for this will be showing up on YouTube later tonight.
