Why Should I Use Cast Iron Cookware?

Cast-iron cookware is one of the oldest types of cookware in the world. It's been around for centuries and is still popular today for a good reason. It lasts forever, is versatile, and can be used on the stovetop or in the oven.

Cast-iron cookware is made from solid metal that has been heated and formed into a mold. The metal then cools, creating a hard shell that can be used to cook food at high temperatures with little oil or butter. This makes cast iron perfect for cooking meat, fish, or vegetables—just about anything that needs to be browned or seared before being cooked.

Because cast iron spreads heat evenly across its surface area, these pans are great for cooking large batches of food at once. They'll evenly distribute heat throughout your dish without burning any parts. 

FAQ

Here are the top questions we get asked about cast iron cookware:

Is cast iron cookware safe to use?

Yes. Cast iron cookware is one of the most versatile and longest-lasting cookware available. It's durable, so you don't have to worry about cracking or breaking under pressure. It's also naturally nonstick, so you don't have to worry about using too much oil or butter.

The only thing to watch out for is that cast iron tends to get hot very quickly, so you'll want to make sure your pan isn't sitting on an open flame before putting it into the oven or stovetop!

Why Should I Use Cast Iron?

Cast iron cookware is excellent at retaining heat, so your food will cook evenly and thoroughly every time. This makes it perfect for searing meat at high temperatures before moving it into the oven to finish cooking. It will also make your meat browned and flavorful on the outside.

Cast iron cooks food more quickly than other pans because it absorbs and retains heat well. This is ideal when making slow-cooked meals like braised meats or stews with long simmer times.

How do I season my cast-iron skillet?

Cast iron skillets need to be seasoned before you use them for the first time. To season your pan, wash it with warm soapy water, rinse it with hot water and dry it thoroughly with paper towels. Place the pan over medium heat on the stovetop and coat it generously with vegetable oil (or flaxseed oil). Let it sit for 30 minutes before turning off the heat and allowing it to cool completely before storing it away. Repeat this process several times until there isn't any more rust on your pan—this should happen within a few weeks or months, depending on how often you use it!

How do I store my cast iron?

It's best to keep your cast iron dry when storing it so that rust doesn't form on the surface of your cookware. If you're not using it for an extended period, coat the inside of the pan with vegetable oil or beeswax (you can also buy pre-seasoned cookware at most stores) before storing it away from heat sources like stoves or radiators.

Will it rust?

No. Cast iron is naturally resistant to rusting and corrosion, which is why it's a popular choice for cookware. 

However, if you notice some discoloration or rust spots on your cookware, all you need to do is scrub them off with a steel wool pad or scouring powder (which you can find at any hardware store). Once they're gone, re-season your pan as usual and start cooking!
