Buyer's guide to Cast iron cookware
There are many items a kitchen requires and thus as a buyer it seems more of an occasion than just a normal trip to the local supermarket. The utensils range from measuring spoons to big dishes such as a skillet. It is one of the items that are bought after much thinking and deliberations. Iron cookware is appreciated in the kitchen due to several reasons and this article elaborates on the same.
Enameled and non-enameled pans
- While buying a cast iron pan or
cookware one should keep in mind that they need to be coated in oil for them to
act as non-stick pans. These pans are long lasting mainly
depending on how they are cared for i.e. immediately washed after use.
- The traditional pans are cheaper
because they do not have a coating.
- If you want to buy utensils of cast
iron which have a coating to make them non-stick then you should be prepared to
shell out more money than you did with your traditional pans.
Used or a brand new utensil
- If you are one of those people who do
not have time to wait for a utensil to be made available then you can choose to
go with new pans. Since they are not seasoned it is easier to procure them.
- On the other hand if you are someone
who doesn’t mind a cast iron utensil that has been seasoned with someone else’s
cooking then you should go for a used pan. They last for a long period of time
owing to the years of cooking.
Deciding on the type of pan
- If you tend to gravitate towards deep
frying your food items then you can consider buying a skillet. To make it
easier to be lifted out of an oven some of them come with a handle on the
front.
