Do You Have A Cast Iron Stomach? If So, Good For You!

Cast Iron Cookware Clearly Makes Good Sense

The wrestling matches between Pepper Gomez and Ray Stevens, during the early part of the 1960s set an unusual tone. Gomez, at the time, had the reputation of having a “cast iron” stomach. He constantly challenged other wrestlers to jump on his stomach. Gomez accepted a challenge from Ray Stevens to jump on his stomach off from a twelve foot ladder which was placed in the center of the ring. Stevens did so from the half way point on the ladder and then from the top of the ladder. Instead of jumping off feet first, he quickly switched to using his ” Bombs Away knee drop”. The impact caused Gomez to spit blood and put him out of action for several weeks.

The subject of this post is not to have people stomp on your stomach. Neither is this about Army chow or other dubious cooks you have known where you felt like you needed a “cast iron” stomach to digest and survive.

The true meaning, for me, of a “cast iron” stomach is to:

1. benefit from meals cooked in cast iron cookware that “Allows you to taste the Food not the cookware”.
2. enjoy the healthiest way to cook your meat and veggies. You can use a little olive or vegetable oil and not add additional fats to your food. The cleanup is easy for cast iron cookware well seasoned is the true non-stick cookware.

Cast Iron Cookware Clearly Makes Good Sense

Maybe you are considering purchasing some cast iron cookware or perhaps you already have some and are not using it. Here are some reasons for cooking with cast iron that you should consider:

1. Cast Iron has  amazing heat distribution and therefore heats uniformly. There will be no “hot spots” nor “dead spots” with too much heat or too little. This is not the case with much thinner aluminum or stainless steel cookware.

2. Cast Iron has exceptional heat retention. This cookware heats up rapidly, saving energy, and will stay hot longer than other cookware even after removing it from your oven or cook top. Serve your guests at your table from an  Enamel cast iron cookware casserole. It makes an especially attractive service piece and your food will stay hot.

3. Cast Iron is  a bargain for you will not have to invest in cookware every few years.

4. Cast Iron cookware “allows you to taste the food and not the cookware.”

5. Cast Iron cleans up easily when properly seasoned and this is not a difficult process. Just wash with hot water. No soap. Use a plastic “scrubbie” if necessary. Never put cast iron pots and pans in your dishwasher.

You have been really missing out on flavor and convenience if you are not cooking with cast iron cookware, the choice of good cooks for generations.

Goldilocks Would Find Cast Iron Cookware Just Right

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

It is not often that we get something that is “just right”.

Like Goldilocks, we search constantly and this can even apply to the cookware we use.

Cast iron cookware has some amazing advantages . In my experience, this time-honored cookware is:

• not too hot for it has even heat distribution and can even conserve energy.
• not too cold for it has excellent heat retention. You can even take it to your table and serve from your cast iron casserole or skillet, particularly the attractive enameled cookware.
• not too expensive compared to other cookware and it lasts for generations.
• not difficult to maintain. When properly seasoned, it is the best non-stick cookware on the market.

You may have been cooking with cast iron cookware for years. If so, you likely agree about its good qualities.

If you have never used cookware like your grandmother and mother likely used, maybe you are ready to give it a try. I predict that you, like Goldilocks, will discover that it is just right for you.

Eat to Help Protect Against Cancer. Cast Iron Cookware Can Help

Posted by Doyle Bailey, Natchitoches, Louisiana for

Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Some helpful research tells us that there are a number of foods that can help protect us from the risk of cancer. (See Dave Grotto, RD, LDN, author of 101 Foods that Could Save Your Life). Here are 9.

Four of the nine are best prepared in your cast iron skillet, dutch oven or casserole.

Lodge Cast Iron Cookware

1. Beans. Use a cast iron dutch oven for the best and most delicious results. Canned beans are usually loaded with sodium. Use dried, frozen or visit your local farmer’s market. They are loaded with fiber, which helps to protect against colon and stomach cancer.
2. Broccoli. Use a a cast iron skillet, or casserole. It is high in a phytochchemical called sulforaphane, which can help fight carcinogens, and is rich in the antioxidant indole-3-carbinol, which has proven to reduce the risk of breast cancer.
3. Carrots. This veggie is high in antioxidants that have been associated with lowering the risk of bladder, cervix, prostate, colon, larynx and esophageal cancer, as well as postmenopausal breast cancer.  It is better if you will cook them in your cast iron pot or skillet and not raw. It seems that being cooked may allow for better absorption.
   

   Eat veggies for good health

4. Coffee. You may have a cast iron coffee pot for camping but your coffee maker at home will do just fine. Some studies suggest that one cup a day of coffee may help protect you from liver cancer.
5. Red or Purple Grapes. They are totally full of resveratrol, also an antioxidant that has show a capacity to inhibit the growth of cancer cells (specifically breast, stomach, colon and leukemia).
6. Yogurt. For a really tasty dish, dessert or snack, add your red grapes to plain non-fat yogurt and top with flax seed meal or Grape Nuts cereal. The yogurt will provide you with a rich source of probiotics, the “good bacteria” in your intestines that help to keep the “bad” bacteria in check, especially H pylori, which has been linked to esophageal and stomach cancer.
7. Lemons. They contain a chemival group called limonoids, which have been shown to help protect against breast, lung, skin and colon cancer.
8. Mushrooms. Certain mushrooms such as shitake, are loaded with betaglucans which stimulate the body’s production of cancer-fighting natural killer cells. Use your  cast iron fry pan or casserole to saute the mushrooms.
9. Cranberries. They are high in an antioxidant that has been found to fight leukemia, breast, lung, and colon cancer cells.

Eat more plant based foods, no meat or less meat and discover how healthy and delicious your meals will be when prepared in these cast iron cookware products.
