With Some TLC, the Best Cast-Iron Skillets Will Last a Lifetime and Beyond
When it comes to one-pot meals, the perfect pan-seared steak, or just some good old-fashioned fried eggs, a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet can do it all. Naturally nonstick and practically indestructible, there’s a reason these pans have been beloved by chefs and home cooks for centuries, and they only get better with age. With cast iron, it all comes down to seasoning. Seasoning is a thin layer of oil that is baked into the pan (and heated past its smoke point) to protect the surface of the iron and render it non-stick. It’s also what gives the raw cast iron its shiny black patina. While maintaining that sleek nonstick coating can be a little tricky, with the right care, it can literally last a lifetime and then some.
