What are some benefits of cooking with cast iron?
1. Weight – Cast iron cookware is very dense and heavy. These characteristics allow the cookware to slowly absorb heat, to retain and withstand high heat, to maintain even temperature during cooking, and to cool down slowly. 2. Non-stick cooking – Cast-iron is the original non-stick cookware. Properly seasoned, nothing sticks to cast-iron cookware, and the non-stick surface does not wear off, peel or scratch like the modern non-sticks can. 3. Health Benefits – Cooking in cast-iron according to the American Dietetic Association, significantly increases the iron content of food. This could be a simple means of adding iron to your diet.
