Cast-iron pans can be a beautiful addition to any kitchen, but they can also a little intimidating. At least they have been to me!
My pans always seemed to rust, and they did not seem “happy” or clean. It just seemed easier to use Teflon non stick pans, which can make you sick if over heated (known as Teflon flu). Since I knew I’d be cooking on a wood stove with no guarantee of temperature control, I decided I’d give cast iron a real go out here. Cast iron cookware (Amazon) is known for distributing heat evenly, which is great for cooking over an open flame or on a wood stove. It’s also supposed to be naturally non stick when treated right. It just takes a little time to season.
