This is not cast ironIt is a 20 quart cast aluminum potIt has what looks like grease stains on itI have tried almost everything to get this back to the way it wasPlease if you know someone who has cast aluminum cookware ask them how to restore it for me:-)
Ignore the mushroom soup idiot - I don't marinate steaksGood steaks need no marinade, just a few good seasonings like salt, pepper and garlicI do marinate roasts with simple things like Italian dressing or a soy sauce blend.
Expired Cream of Mushroom soupIt sounds weird, but there is a chemical reaction that helps tenderize the meatIt really is deliciousThe grill heat kills any bacteria, and the meat takes on a really fantastic flavor.
Yes the mushroom soup is grossIn my fast-paced American home we pop meat in a bag filled with any salad dressing! This wors with cheap cuts of meatI personally would marinade with lemon juice, Worcestershire, and rosemary and let sit 20-30 min (too long and the lemon juice acids mess up the meat) Griling the steak actually adds the best flavor!
all i ever use is a S.O.S padsyes i have a full set of Wear-Ever cast ALUMINIUM pots and pansi've had them for well over 40 years and still in great shape.
