Heavy Cast
Curing a cast iron skillet. What's the deal?
I've been watching the Food Netwok a lot lately and a heavy skillet, "preferably cast iron" is often recommended. I'm a novice, half-way cook (Sandra Lee, that's me!) and I've only used non-stick cookware and thought cast-iron was old school. So these need to be cured or seasoned? And you can't wash them? Why?
yes .. you can season your cast iron skillet with oil & salt. EASY! You handwash them ... but don't soak them ... its a wash and dry. The cast iron will rust .. then you will have to oil it and season it all over again.
The reason I like cooking with a cast iron skillet is that it evenly distributes heat. That way I am able to gauge my cooking time as well as the end-product to my liking.
