Most likely you’ll be okay, but that’s a massive violation of food safety protocol and you’re definitely taking a risk. It’s not even close to a fringe call. If any baddies got in there, you’ll hate...

I read in the SF Chronicle this week (in the review of David Kinch’s Manresa) that the National Safety Foundation "does not allow restaurants to cook food directly on cast iron surfaces". It was news to me, and I wonder...
