Cooking With Cast Iron
from Sustainable Minimalists Hosted by Stephanie Seferian
Before aluminum coated in Teflon, there was cast iron. Our great-grandparents revered cast iron in the kitchen because it lasts *forever*. And with proper care? It's naturally non-stick, no PFAS necessary. These days cast iron is experiencing a renaissance of sorts, and for many good reasons. On today's show cast iron historian Kyle Seip answers our burning questions about how to cook on and care for our beloved cast iron cookware (it's way easier than you think!).
