Cast Iron CookwareCast iron cookware should be an essential part of your homesteading kitchen equipment. Its versatility and strength make this marvelous cookware invaluable. Hands down, it's the best way to prepare good, down-home cooking.A Frugal InvestmentFor its beneficial use, quality of cooking and longevity, there is no better value for your money out there. It's relatively inexpensive to purchase, will last for years and produces better quality food.It's HealthyIron is crucial to good health. It helps the blood carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and unfortunately, most of us don't get the daily amounts of iron we need. Not only do we not get enough in our diet, but we also drink way too much coffee and tea that inhibits the absorption of iron by the body, leaving us feeling tired.Cooking with cast iron can change that. For most people, using cast iron pans to cook foods - especially tomato based sauces and foods that are cooked longer and frequently stirred - will provide all of your daily need for iron. ![]() Good quality cast iron, like this Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Skillet All Natural Nonstick CookwareTake care of your cast iron pans and season them on a regular basis, and your food won't stick. And unlike the modern nonstick pans out there, once food does start sticking, all you need to do is re-season it. No more throwing away old pans! It's a long-term value that can help save the planet.Better Quality CookingCast iron conducts heat evenly and holds it in, allowing you to cook either at low or high temperatures at a more uniform temperature.Works Anywhere, Even Outdoors![]() With a Camp Dutch Oven It's ToughYes, cast iron will break, but it's pretty rare when it does. If a break is going to happen at all, it will be when you pour cold water into a hot skillet, causing the metal to stress over time. But normal wear and tear won't do anything to it.Will Last For GenerationsUnlike other cookware that gets worn with age, cast iron cookware can be passed down from one generation to the next. If properly cared for, cast iron cookware can last 70 years or more. Imagine being able to give a much-loved skillet to your granddaughter someday and her being happy about it. No other cookware can make that claim.Wondering How to Care For Your Cast Iron Cookware?After purchasing your cookware, follow these tips to keep your cookware in great shape for years to come.Looking for recipes to use with your Camp Dutch Oven Learn More About Frugal Cooking![]() Invest in good health and some of the best bread available with a good quality grain mill.
