Good Old Cast Iron Pan

Hello. I have chosen to show you this cast iron skillet, it is by Calphalon. I feel this pan is a little lighter than some other brands. Also, I enjoy having the pour off lips on the edges.

You might think this is such a random item to feature? I just kept feeling I had to share the wonder of a cast iron pan. What if people are afraid of using them? Don’t be!

Here are just a few of the wonderful benefits.

  • Durable – a cast iron pan should last forever
  • Heat distribution – Cast iron is an excellent conductor of heat which makes it perfect for cooking. For science people: Thermal energy is the kinetic energy of vibrating and colliding atoms in a substance. Ohhh, I want that when I’m cooking!
  • Iron – the pan may deliver a little extra iron to your diet
  • Easy to clean – I never use soap on my cast iron skillets. Just scrape it out with something like a chore boy and rinse with hot water.
