Why you want a cast iron pan
Cooking with cast iron offers enormous benefits that you often miss with modern pans:

Which cast iron pan best fits your kitchen?
There is a specific type of cast iron for every task:
- Skillet: The ideal frying pan for steak, eggs, or even brownies from the oven.
- Dutch Oven: A heavy casserole dish for soups, stews, and baking bread.
- Grill Pan: For those perfect grill marks on your vegetables or meat, with that authentic barbecue flavor.
How to keep your cast iron pan/Dutch Oven in top condition
Cast iron requires a little bit of love, but you get a lot in return. The secret? Seasoning. This creates a natural protective layer that prevents food from sticking.
Maintenance in 3 simple steps:
- Cleaning: Use only warm water and a brush. Avoid the dishwasher and soap!
- Drying: Make the pan bone-dry immediately after washing to prevent rust.
- Oiling: After use, rub the pan with a small drop of vegetable oil.
Frequently asked questions about cast iron pans
Can a Dutch Oven be used on an induction hob?
Certainly! Cast iron is naturally magnetic, making it one of the best materials for induction. It heats up evenly and retains heat perfectly. Use a pan with a flat bottom and heat the pan slowly without using the 'boost' mode.
What should I do if my cast iron pan starts to rust?
Don't panic! Scrub the rust spots away with a wire brush or scouring pad, rinse the pan well, and re-season it with a thin layer of oil. It will be as good as new.
