Can You Put a Cast Iron Skillet in the Dishwasher?
No. A dishwasher strips the seasoning and the pan rusts. Here is how to clean it by hand and how to fix a pan that already went through.
Which pan to buy first
Cast iron is the best first pan for most cooks. Stainless sears and makes pan sauces. Enameled cast iron braises and bakes bread.
How Long Does a Cast Iron Skillet Last?
A cast iron skillet can last a lifetime and pass to the next owner. Here is what ruins one, and why rust does not.
Lodge cast iron or All-Clad D3
Lodge cast iron is the cheaper, tougher skillet for searing. All-Clad D3 is lighter and easier to cook sauces in. Here is how to choose.
