Cast Iron Skillets

     After years of using other cookware I was introduced, by my husband, to caste iron. Now I am actually using some of my grandmother's skillets and loving it. 
    Caste Iron is the original non-stick cookware. Unlike Teflon and other non-stick surfaces, it doesn't scrape off with or during use, so ingesting pieces of it isn't a problem. Knives, metal spatulas, forks, or spoons can't scratch it. Wash,after use, heat on the stove to dry, lightly oil, and it is ready for the next meal. 
    If food does stick, wash it when the pan is still heated, using a potholder to carry. Scrape the surface with a spatula, to remove as much food as possible, then wash. Or let the pan cool first and briefly soak, then scrape and wash, heat to dry, oil and it is good to go.
