Nice Spinach Artichoke Pretzel Skillet

This is a sponsored post yesteryear Challenge Butter, but the text as well as opinions are all mine. Thank you lot for supporting brands that build possible!

Dips are undoubtedly the pump of every Super Bowl party. If you lot search the definition of Super Bowl inwards Merriam Webster, the actual definition is “an excuse to choose a political party amongst lots of dips.”

But amongst thus many people bringing dips to your Super Bowl party, how produce you lot build your dip stand upward out?

Your cast Fe skillet is currently inwards the dorsum of your closet raising it’s mitt as well as proverb “Pick me! Pick me!” That’s right—a cast Fe skillet is the hole-and-corner to transforming an ordinary dip into the coolest appetizer at the party.

Cast Fe skillets choose plainly been or thus for centuries. But I’ve noticed that they choose instruct rattling very pop inwards the yesteryear year. They are extremely versatile, as well as I dear that the skillet is used every bit both the baking dish as well as the presentation dish.

I made my kickoff dip amongst a cast Fe skillet concluding calendar month as well as it was a huge hit. My favorite role nearly the Spicy Cheese Pretzel Skillet is that the dip as well as the pretzels baked together inwards the same skillet. The soft pretzels were extremely slow to build (store bought biscuit dough for the win), as well as ultimately that’s what made the dish hold off deceptively stunning. So I decided to endeavor the same concept amongst this skillet artichoke spinach dip. The creamy as well as cheesy dip amongst baked-in pretzel dippers is what dreams are made of.

In my concluding skillet post I went into swell details nearly the scientific discipline behind homemade soft pretzels. So this week, I’m going into swell exceptional nearly the best practices for taking assist of your cast Fe skillet.

First of all, the best fourth dimension to build clean your cast Fe skillet is directly afterwards using it. You can’t live a set-aside-to-soak sort of person. Soaking the skillet is i of the worst things you lot tin plow over the axe produce to it because it volition rust.

Instead, directly afterwards you’ve removed all the nutrient from it, launder your skillet yesteryear mitt using a sponge or a stiff, non-wire brush. Don’t exercise soap! If at that topographic point is nutrient stuck to the pan that won’t come upward off amongst water, scrub it amongst a mixture of tabular array salt as well as hot water.

Completely, dry out our skillet directly afterwards you’ve finished washing it thus it doesn’t rust. I recommend heating the pan over your stovetop burner on high for nearly v minutes to ensure it’s completely dry.

After drying, add together a sparse layer of crude to the pan to continue it well-seasoned.

Store your cast Fe skillet amongst a newspaper towel on it to absorb whatever wet as well as protect it from dust.

I realize this entire post is nearly cast Fe skillets, but I produce desire to indicate out that you lot tin plow over the axe yet build this delicious dip likewise every bit the pretzel bites without a cast Fe skillet. Just bake the dip inwards an oven rubber dish as well as bake the pretzel bites separately on a baking sheet.

Or if pretzels aren’t your thing, you lot could purchase a big loaf of bread, hollow it out to build a staff of life bowl, as well as and then exercise the within scraps to dip—similar to what I did amongst this Buffalo Chicken Stuffed French Bread. Enjoy as well as Happy Super Bowl Sunday!
