Cast iron cookware has an attractive design and rustic appeal, making it an ideal cooking tool and a centerpiece in table service.

Benefits of Cast Iron Cookware Over Normal Cookware

In contrast to aluminum or non-stick options, cast iron stands out for its durability, health benefits, and multi-functional capabilities in any kitchen environment.

• Long-Lasting and Durable

With only basic upkeep, cast iron skillets can last decades. Other materials may deteriorate with use, but cast iron skillets only get better. Cast iron is not subject to warping or surface damage from modern oven temperatures.

• Naturally Non-Stick

Cast iron skillets develop their natural non-stick coating by seasoning the skillets. This means you can cook with cast iron without the harmful synthetic chemicals in a typical non-stick pan.

• Heat Versatility

Because cast iron does not warp or melt, you can use your utensils on the stovetop, in the oven, or over the grill without worrying about damage, giving you total creative freedom in your recipes.

Cast iron cookware is significantly better than any other material at browning, searing, and roasting food. Cast iron's heat retention allows you to achieve commercial browning and crisping of meats and vegetables.

How to Use and Maintain Cast Iron Cookware

With proper use and care, it can last a lifetime. Here’s how to ensure you get maximum use of your cookware with minimal maintenance. 

• Season Before First Use

A new cast iron frying pan should be seasoned using a thin layer of cooking oil and baked in the oven. This improves nonstick properties and protects against rust. 

• Always Dry Immediately

Cast iron frying pans should always be thoroughly dried after washing to avoid rust. A quick wipe with a towel and then heat works great to dry the pan. 

• Avoid Soap

Strong soaps can strip the seasoning from cast iron cookware. Always wash cast iron cookware with warm water and a soft scrubber for regular cleaning. 

• Re-season Regularly

If food begins to stick, re-season the pan. Regularly seasoning your cast iron cookware makes cleaning easy and prevents sticking.
