HELP! Thanksgiving cornbread advice?

[Lilith Rising]

Okay since y'all have been talking about AA Thanksgiving I decided to switch up my menu to greens w/smoked hocks, cornbread and mac n' cheese.

Here's the problem tho - I lost my cast iron pan somewhere during my last move! Can I come close with some other kind of pan and/or method??

1. Shhh ... Don't tell nobody; but, any metal cake tin will do ...

you'll just have to spray the surface with canola oil (or, vegetable oil) to keep it from sticking.

But ... for real ... don't tell nobody!

Enjoy.

2. (whispers) I could still

preheat some shortening or lard in there though couldn't I? Get some crispy on it?

3. Yes ... But be sure to coat the sides and bottom well ...

or you'll be eating corn crumbles!

4. Thanks 1SBM :)

I'm so glad y'all reminded me it's been a while... or maybe I should thank Killer Mike and Bernie?? LOLOL

Lived in Atlanta for about 8 years back in the day and I do miss some soul kitchen!

5. That works better for crispy crust than spraying. nt
