I hope this post reaches the many who can benefit from it. As simple, and seemingly trivial, a thing that cast iron cookware is, as you point out, it is practically the perfect means of cooking, about as obsolescence resistant a product as can be conceived, and remarkably easy to keep in good repair.

I learned about cast iron in my youth, bumbling about in the woods of Alaska. Most folks don't.

It is really hard to overemphasize how much impact such a humble and simple thing as cooking on properly cared for cast iron can have, particularly in view of the health issues teflon alternatives present.

Which would you rather have in your food (and our environment), iron or teflon?

Easy choice for me!

Thanks!
