Here are some reasons why you should buy and use cast iron cookwares in your kitchen. Check out the article we found over at Living Traditionally.
The old wives` tale is true. Cooking in a cast-iron skillet increases the body`s absorption of this important metal. If you have not yet discovered the benefits of cast iron cooking, here are some reasons to buy and use a cast iron skillet.
Reasons to Use Cast Iron Cookware
1. It supplies you with Iron. Cast iron cookware is the only cookware that provides you with nutritional benefits. It releases a small amount of iron into food every time you cook. Cooking food with cast iron will help boost your iron levels especially when you are cooking with highly acid foods like tomatoes.
2. It is toxic free. Cast iron cookware is absolutely safe, unlike most non stick pans that release toxins into food once scratched (and they always get scratched).
3. Food comes out tastier. Not only does pre-seasoned cast iron cookware require less oil to cook with, but the food comes out flavored. You can get the best crust on your food and it simply tastes much better.
4. It’s been used for thousands of years. Cast iron pans have been used for more than 2,500 years. Cast iron was first made during the 4th century B.C. in China and later spread to England in the 12th century. Cast iron pans became popular in the United States during the 18th century.

I would love to get one but that pan must weight so much I would need a cart to carry it.

I don’t think the pan gives us any nutrients, the food we cook in it does. And if you don’t take care of it properly you will have rust seasoning too :p I have it and I love it but they are far from non-stick
