    I now have many cast iron pots and pans. Enameled and bare. And a couple more on the way.

    After reading up about non-stick, I’ll never buy it again. I think cast iron is much safer.

    And because it is so durable, cast iron is actually a great value, even more so if you buy less expensive brands or used. It truly can be buy it for life.

      If you ever make it out to Pigeon Forge Tennessee, hit up the Lodge Factory. They have a store there that they sell all of their rejected cast irons for a pittance. Most of the rejects only have minor imperfections.

      I have been using my great grandma’s set of cast iron for the last 2 decades. They work perfectly and look brand new. Properly seasoned and cared for they will last generations. Also no micro plastics or carcinogens

      Yeah, one thing I hate is seeing pans slowly degrade over time. But with cast iron and carbon steel, they improve with use. Plus, no PFAS!
