That's pretty high. I just don't see that much of a difference between 800 and 1000 degrees. 800 being the cast iron

You don't think the crust is fine on the pic I posted? Fwiw, that was at about 500 degrees or so.

American style In the American style, also called the zig-zag method or fork switching, the knife is initially held in the right hand and the fork in the left. Holding food to the plate with the fork tines-down, a single bite-sized piece is cut with the knife. The knife is then set down on the plate, the fork transferred from the left hand to the right hand, and the food is brought to the mouth for consumption. The fork is then transferred back to the left hand and the knife is picked up with the right.



This is how I was taught. And now I want a steak.

i know for my pit, there isnt much difference in the results between 600 or 1000, just cook time will vary, obviously.

Ive honestly never measured the surface of a cast iron or know the results of what it is like to cook a steak at that temp. what are we referencing here?

I just know via the methods i use, the crust i like cannot be duplicated from my big green egg. I think an 800deg cast iron would yield a different crust than an 800deg pit but i may be wrong.

That's a tough angle to see the crust, but it looks like there is some crust there but it is concentrated in one spot. Id definitely eat it, for most of my steak cooks are on cast iron and look similar.

i think the only non-commercial products that you can get to 800-1000 degrees are those ceramic systems like the BGE

don't pits operate at like 450-550 degrees?

Yes, Peter Luger's, and they're not the only one. A number of top prime steakhouses do that


They don't do that at his favorite Outback, so it can't be legit.

i can get my weber over 700 but it has a special 'sear station' (which is special burner designed to get your grill damn hot)

Just referencing temps. Cast iron on the stove can get to 800.

On your grill, what is your grate?

You can get your kitchen cast iron up to 800? or are we talking commercial kitchen?


on my BGE, I just have the normal grates that came with it.


i dont care about grill marks either. My goal is to have the whole steak black. Doesnt always happen but thats how i like em. Grill marks are for rednecks
