Thursday, March 27th, 2008

Cast iron cookware is ideal cookware for outdoor cooking; indeed I’d venture to say its the best. But why?

1. Cast iron cookware is inexpensive when compared to its alternatives, given the length of time it will be in use. Most well cared for cast iron will last a family for generations and in of itself it becomes an heirloom;

2. Cast iron cookware is a superb cooking medium to cook with outdoors. With its ideal heat conduction as well as heat retention and its lack of hot spots its an outside cooks dream tool;

3. Cast iron cookware can be used to cook nearly all types of food;

4. Its really healthy to cook with cast iron cookware. Why? Because you can cook fat free! …Impossible?… No! A properly seasoned skillet or pan is ‘stick-free’ so requires no oil for cooking. [Note: Seasoning means filling the cracks, holes and small cavities in the pan with grease in a hot oven. The grease then gets cooked in providing a smooth surface on both the inside and outside of the pan.

5. In cast iron cookware your food slides easily & freely in the pan.
