How to Cook In Cast Iron

choose the right Pan

Do you want cast iron, or enameled cast iron? Traditional requires seasoning. Enameled is less fussy!

1

Skillet or Dutch Oven

Skillets will replace all your standard cookware. Dutch Ovens are great for stove top or oven - and baking bread!

Spend Wisely

Lodge is economical and great for beginners. Le Creuset and Staub are definitely $$ but worth it!  I have them all, and don't have a favorite!

Heat Them Up Slow to Start

Cast Iron can get too hot too fast, so heat it up slow to start so you can gauge how much heat you need.
