advantages of a cast-iron skillet?
I’m in the market for a flat frying, pan — a “griddle.”
Recently I’ve been seeing these “cast-iron skillets” for sale. They’re as heavy as a bowling ball, and slate gray.
I’m wondering what the advantages of cooking on one of these is. Why are they so expensive?
Are they just fashion statements? Do they heat up quicker? Retain heat longer? Does food come off easier, etc.
Why would I NOT buy your normal stick-free Teflon? Appearance’s sake only?
A good cast iron skillet is hard to beat when it comes to cooking….It holds the heat bettter and cooks more evenly so you don’t have to cook at high temp….also makes the food taste better……..If you decide to buy one make sure you season it well so food won’t stick to it.
