CAST IRON article and photograph by HEATHER LAND
Timeless and classic, cast iron cannot only stand the test of time passed from one generation to the next; it rivals most cookware with its capabilities and even a few benefits. It is not just an old timer’s skillet; cast iron is an every day, every way cook’s staple. KEEP IT REAL: Never let your cast iron soak in water for an extended period of time. Use a chain mail with a stiff bristle brush to clean with hot water and MINIMAL TO NO SOAP. Heat dry wet cast iron on the stove top. Keep a crock with an oiled cloth to wipe cast iron after washing, this will help prevent dryness and/or rust.
