How to Season and Clean Cast Iron

After several summers of camping in my intemperate youth, I had learned how to use cast iron dutch ovens. Cast iron cookware holds a special place in my culinary kitchen because it’s cost friendly, durable, holds heat like a champ, versatile and cooks food evenly. When it’s properly seasoned and maintained, cast iron can last your family for generations and sustain a longer lasting and easier release surface than that expensive non-stick pans you might have purchased at that high-end boutique store in the village hot spot shopping plaza.
