Cookware Materials: Choose Cast Iron for its Solid Look and Feel

Cast iron has a solid, heavy feel that has withstood the test of time when it comes to cooking. In the past, iron was a readily available resource cast into pots and pans that was virtually indestructible. The cookware could also do double-duty as a weapon! Now, a cast iron cookware set is forged to perfection, sometimes left raw for you to season, sometimes coated with state-of-the art colored enamels. Either way, there are proven benefits to investing in a cast iron cookware set. Benefits of cast iron cookware: • Heavy pots stay put on the stove. Provide superior heat distribution. • Heavy lids, sealing steam and juices for lower cooking temperatures. • If seasoned, the surface has non-stick properties that lower your chances of a burnt-on mess. • Do not have to be washed with soap and water if used properly.

Cast iron cookware is for cooks who: • Love the heavy feel and solid old-fashioned look. • Like to show off their country kitchen! • Don’t mind the seasoning technique.
