@kekecarnivore: Cast iron isn’t just cookware — it’s a legacy. ⸻ 📜 History: • Cast iron was first created in China around the 5th century BCE, used for weapons and cooking pots. • It became popular in Europe during the 16th century. • In America, cast iron skillets became household staples by the 18th and 19th century, especially prized for durability and heat retention. 🍳 Why cook on cast iron (3 reasons): 1. Retains and distributes heat evenly — perfect for steaks and eggs. 2. Adds trace amounts of iron to your food, supporting health. 3. Built to last generations — the more you cook, the better it gets. 🧽 Why clean + season (3 reasons): 1. Prevents rust and damage. 2. Builds up a natural non-stick layer (called seasoning). 3. Preserves flavor and keeps your skillet safe for daily cooking. Since moving to carnivore, I’m switching all my pots and pans to cast iron. Most of mine are made in the US, because not every skillet is created equal. Some imports mix in metals you don’t want in your food. I’ll share that story when I restore the vintage ones I bought online and on Facebook Marketplace. ⸻ What’s the one thing you’d cook in cast iron every day if you could?
