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.

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

October 26th, 2010

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.

Cast Iron Cookware and Good Ole Common Sense

August 6th, 2010

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

For me there is nothing in the world better than good ole common folks and good old fashioned common sense. Some times there seems to be a scarcity of both.


Coach John Wooden (1910-2010) was not only an excellent coach, he was a very good person who shared what I call “holy common sense” with his players. Here is a sample:

  • “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts”.
  • “Be quick but don’t hurry”.
  • “Failure to prepare is preparing for failure”.
  • “Talent is God-given, Be humble”.
  • “Fame is man-given, Be grateful”.
  • “Conceit is self-given. Be careful”.
  • “Don’t mistake activity for achievement”.

Your Grandmother and Mother exercised common sense when they cooked with cast iron cookware.

fry pans,dutch oven, griddle

Here are some reasons castiron cookware makes such good, common sense. Cast Iron frying pans, skillets, dutch ovens, grills, griddles, waffle irons and pie irons are:

  1. Relatively inexpensive compared to other cookware, especially when you consider they last a lifetime (several, in fact). You will pass it on to your children and grandchildren.
  2. Excellent heat retention and distribution (no hot or cold spots)
  3. Cleans easily when properly seasoned and it is easy to keep your pots and pans well-seasoned with a little “common sense”.
  4. Prepares exceptionally good tasting and healthy meals with very little oil.

Cast Iron Cookware Shop Suggests Ways to Cut Fat in Cooking

July 20th, 2010

Posted by Doyle Bailey for Cast Iron Cookware Shop

Kinetic Casserole Enamel Grill Pan


Two observations to begin:

  1. These are easy steps to take and anyone can follow them. Start by implementing a few of them and add others as you go.
  2. Cooking in cast iron cook ware makes most of these suggestions even easier to follow.

Here we go:

1. Use nonstick cooking spray ( I like to use vegetable or olive oil spray) to replace  butter or oil. Cast iron cookware with its non-stick qualities allows you to do this.

2. Select extra-lean meat and skinless chicken breast

3. Trim all visible fat from meat.

4. Grill, broil, bake, braise, steam, and  slow-cook foods instead of frying them. Sautéing is ok with minimal amounts of oil, or use nonstick spray, or broth instead. Once again, castiron cookware is the choice of many good cooks for its versatility.

5. Drain fat from cooked meats and blot them with paper towels if necessary.

6. Replace some of your meat dishes with vegetables, beans or whole grains. Nothing beats the taste of beans cooked in a cast iron dutch oven or a camping cast iron dutch oven. Substitute two meat dishes each week with fish or vegetarian meals.

7. Oven-fry potatoes instead of making or buying French fries.

8. Use one egg and two egg whites per person in your favorite egg dishes or cakes; or cut fat and cholesterol completely by using egg substitute.

9. Use one egg and two egg whites per person in your favorite egg dishes or cakes; or cut fat and cholesterol completely by using egg substitute.

10. Add flavor to your food. Use herbs, spices, fruits and salsas.
