Cast-iron doesn’t deserve the reputation it has of being difficult to care for—it isn’t. Join Jan for a three-hour exploration of reviving and caring for cast-iron skillets, Dutch ovens, griddles, &c, and bring your pans for a quick turn in the pan spa—then they’ll be ready to do you proud with dishes you’ll make in class: a superior pizza, cheesy corn bread, seared steak, tender and juicy chicken breasts, terrific scones, and oven-roasted summer vegetables. If you don’t have any cast iron yet, you’ll leave class eager to acquire your first piece. Food supply fee: $16 (payable to the instructor during the class).

A knife well-suited to your hand and your kitchen tasks can turn what was once a chore into a form of play. Join Jan for an afternoon of playing with knives! You’ll learn how what to look for (and where) when selecting a new knife, how to care for it, how to use knives efficiently and effectively; why you need a ceramic hone or a good steel; which cutting surfaces to seek out and which ones to avoid. If you’ve ever been afraid of sharp knives or large knives, this is the class for you! I’ll be bringing plenty of knives to class for you to audition—maybe you’ll find a new favorite. If you already have a treasured knife, bring it to class. Food-supply fee: $10 (payable to instructor during the class)
