Cast Iron Skillet
03.01.2023
Years ago I saw my sister cooking with cast iron pans and was really impressed. Since then I always thought there were too difficult to maintain or that they only worked with gas stoves.

Still working on easy dinners with the Instant Pot. This recipe was pretty good: https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a30109417/instant-pot-honey-garlic-chicken-recipe/...Instant Pot Yogurt -- 28.12.2022

Traditionally I’m told Syrniki are best enjoyed with Smetana which is a Russian dairy product somewhere in between Crème Fraîche and Sour Cream. We can’t always find that so the best substitute would be Crème Fraîche as sour cream would I think would be to acidic. For my friend and family reading this in the U.S. I can’t remember exactly what dairy products you have. I know you have Sour Cream....
