Las Vegas in the middle of summer is easily hitting 110°F
daytime temperatures. For some that is not conducive for enjoying a hot bowl of
Chili. Many reserve that cuisine for chilling winter days.
Not me. I
enjoy Chili year round. Chili isn't at it's best unless you have cornbread, as
a side to accompany it.
On a hot day outside I often drag out the crock-pot to make a batch without heating up the kitchen. While I am a cast iron connoisseur, I am certainly not firing up some charcoal and Dutch Oven cooking when
it is a scorching +110°F outside either. Thinking about getting the kitchen
oven up to 425°F for a batch of cornbread doesn't sound too appealing either.
The heats the whole house up.
This is where vintage Cast Iron meets the
modern Counter-top Convection Oven. The combination works well together and
doesn't kick my air conditioner on more than normal.
Now I am sitting
back enjoying a bowl of Chili. Dipping my hot buttered corn sticks in some
maple syrup. What a killer combination. Both in the cooking technique, as well
as the food paring.
