It is possible. The technology to make it smooth is just sandpaper or a sanding disc.

Sanding the pot smooth is usually the first thing that should be done when buying a cast iron pot. It will help with the "non-stick" characteristics.

So it's the '65 Mustang of Cast Iron pots?

I'll stick with my 20 y/o Lodge that has never let me down.

They look nice, but $165-300 for something to cook in seems a bit pretentious.

I have quite a few copper vessels of differing sizes that cost as much and more than the above and I don't believe it is pretentious. They are incredible to cook with and are lifetime purchases. I normally save and buy one piece at a time. My next will be a copper fish poacher.

But you can do better with a nice fish poacher. I don't own one, but a few years back we were at a camp in Venice that had one. Every evening, I poached a few rat reds that we ate as apps with cocktails. Was very good. I wish I had a good supply of fresh whole fish, and a copper poacher.

But you don't. Because you live in "Mecca." Go buy some hamburger meat.

We don't have to buy a mess of hamburger meat up here. No room for it in the freezer because of all the venison we have readily available.

Why? You know nothing of me. I assemble copper pots like many here collect cast iron as I've come to see. I purchase them normally one at a time and have use for all of them. They will be passed on to my children at some point after my departure because of their outstanding durability. I happen to also enjoy poaching fish.

Do you own golf clubs? A boat? Guns? Stamps? Baseball Cards Mr. Rando?

And you have conjectured even calling me sir.

I presume the world needs T-Fal and tin foil. Now run along.

I can get all the hooved rats I want. Beef tastes better. Don't kid yourself, old man.

Nobody was talking to you. Outside of a back strap, you prefer venison to beef? Tells me all I need to know.

And that generally applies to you as well, but you struggle to keep your asinine opinions to yourself.

There are wonderful cuts from a deer beyond the backstrap that can be used in the same manner you would use beef with superior results. I prefer a stew made with venison to one made with beef, and that's a "low quality" cut.
