  1. My family 💘 LOVES making yellow cornbread in a cast iron skillet with 2 TBSP of a good oil, not crappy oil, then put skillet into an oven preheated to 450° for 10 min., then turn to 350° until finished baking. Without any doubt, the very best cornbread 😋 you'll EVER eat!!
    Always use REAL SALTED BUTTER on the finished product. 😁

  2. I switched to all cast iron and steel. Once you have them seasoned they’re amazing. The cast iron holds heat really well and the steel comes up to temperature fast. Super easy to clean. Usually just wipe with a paper towel. If they get some stuff stuck I soak it in a little water, drain , wipe dry and lightly coat with olive oil.

  3. Cast iron pans don’t last forever. They’ll eventually pit and once they start pitting rust will take over. I’m done with cast iron/carbon steel pans. They’re high maintenance and only last years. If you’re okay with the maintenance I’d treat them as disposable like a Teflon coated pan.

  4. Cast iron is the best all-around cookware you can get, and "all-around" includes their inexpensive and wide-spread availability. Carbon steel comes close to matching it in cooking performance and has the advantage of being significantly lighter but it's also more expensive although still relatively economical.
