Couple FALLS • The aroma of spicy taco victuals filled the air as Jason Sharer lifted the glass lid off a discard-iron pan.
Sharer, 31, of Twin Falls, stirred the base beef and bell peppers, checking to see whether the meat was cooked through. Tapping the side of the pan, he declared: “It’s almost done.”

“Cast iron is good to use because the heat spreads out through it. Don’t use a nonstick pan because the focused arousal will simply burn right through and ruin it,” he said.
