Alright, today folks, we're gonna show you our Lodge Walk
This is a 14 inch walk, cast iron walk. Overall, from handle to handle, it's about 18 inches
And the overall height of it is four and a half inches
And one great thing about this, of course, naturally it being cast iron
but it has these sloped walls, outer sloped walls. And another thing too that I wanna show you
is the base of this. Now the base of it measures about five and a half inches
And it's perfect for naturally setting on a gas grill grate like this
But you can also use it on a glass top stove. You could use it in the oven if you wanted to
to work on an induction oven. You can also use it outdoors on a campfire
And you can use it in a gas grill if you wanted to, or a barbecue grill
And it will set up perfectly. But what we're gonna do today, now these are perfect for making stir fries
and things like that. But what we're gonna do today, we decided to make a little bit
of Orville Redenbacher's popcorn. So what we're gonna do next, we're gonna get ready
We're gonna heat this cast iron walk up, and we'll be back in just a minute
And we'll show you how we do this with popcorn. Okay folks, we've got our walk preheated
And actually I went ahead, we're gonna try something different today. We're gonna use coconut oil as our oil
to cook this popcorn with. I've already got a tablespoon in here
I'm gonna go ahead and dump another tablespoon here to do two tablespoons of oil
And you can see how that's melting down fine. Now one thing I failed to mention earlier
on the dimensions and everything, these cast iron walks are kind of heavy now
They're 11 and a half pounds, 11.48 pounds. So you gotta be sure and keep that in mind
when you're moving it around or whatever. Okay, well now the coconut oil has already dissolved
heated up, melted down. So what I'm gonna do first, I'm just gonna take a couple, two or three kernels here
and let these get hot. And once they pop, we know that the oil
is hot enough to pop our popcorn. So let me go ahead and just place a lid
Now these walks do not come with a lid, but any kind of lid that you have
for any other kind of piece of cookware will work just fine
Now another thing too, like I said, today we're using coconut oil
but you could actually use vegetable oil, but you can use just about any type of oil that you choose
Another thing that is real good too would be butter. All right, well we've got a couple kernels that have popped
so I'm gonna go ahead and put all my other kernels in here
and we're just gonna let this heat up and pop. Now one thing too, like I said, being cast iron now
it gets hot all the way around, so be sure and have you some kind of oven mitts
or something like that, hand holders or whatever, when you're moving your handle or touching your handle
That way you don't burn yourself. Be safe when you're doing this. This is beginning to pop, so I want you to look at that
I hope you can see that through that glass lid. But you see, that's the reason why you want a glass lid
or some kind of a lid on here on this wok. Now they don't come with lids
I may have mentioned that earlier, but you can use one that you already have
but that way it'll keep it from popping out. I put about a quarter of a cup of popcorn in here
just to start out with two tablespoons of coconut oil. And like I was talking about earlier on seasoning
now you can use any kind of seasoning you want. You can use, you know, just your favorite
any kind of seasoning to season your popcorn with. We basically just like salt and butter
so that's what we're gonna be using today. Okay, folks, as you can see
the popcorn has almost completely stopped popping, so we know nearly all the kernels have popped
And a quarter cup has basically risen all the way to the top of our lid
Be sure, like I said, use you a pot holder so you don't burn yourself
Go ahead and grab you a little bit of popcorn here. And you can see down in here
I mean, this is, it's nearly all completely popped. Every one of the kernels are popped
Smells really good. I'm just gonna take a little bit of a butter
and pour that, just drizzle that over, have some buttered popcorn. Take my salt, add a little bit of salt to that
Kind of toss it just a little bit. See how that popped out of there? So we wanna make sure that we don't pop it on the floor
or whatever, but anyway, there you have popcorn in a large cast iron 14 inch wok
Mm, man, you can't beat that. We appreciate you guys. Y'all have a great day
It's Mr. and Mrs. Cast Iron. We'll see you later. Have a great day. Bye-bye
