Cast Iron Cooking

Cast iron cooking involves using a heavy, durable skillet made from molten iron that is cooled to solidify. It retains heat exceptionally well, providing even cooking and excellent heat retention. When properly maintained through seasoning—a process of applying a thin oil layer and heating—it develops a natural non-stick surface. Cast iron is versatile, suitable for stovetop, oven, or outdoor grilling. It’s prized for its durability, ability to enhance flavors over time, and suitability for high-heat techniques like searing. With proper care, cast iron cookware can last for generations and improve with use.
