Unlike stainless steel grills, cast iron grills require a little more care. Here's how to care for your cast iron grill grates so you can keep your grill in tip-top shape. First, cast iron grills are not the same thing as porcelain grills. This guide applies to cast iron grill grates, not ceramic coated grill grates. Okay, now that we have that out of the way, let's get started.

After cleaning, make sure to dry the grills completely with a towel. Using a paper towel or brush, brush the grill grates with cooking oil. We recommend vegetable oil, grapeseed oil or bacon grease. Once the grates are coated, you can bake them in a 400 degree ove...

Use with certain ingredients. Plain cast iron is reactive, which means that acidic ingredients (vinegar, tomatoes, etc.) can interact with the metal and flavor or discolor the food. Reactions are unlikely to occur with well-seasoned pans, especially for dishes with short cooking times, but keep this in mind. Enamel is the least reactive and acceptable for acidic foods. Many enameled items have a light creamy interior, making it especially easy to monitor the color of the delicacies (cooked juices) at the bottom of the pan, or just to check for burning. While this is not impossible in traditional cast iron pans or black enameled pans, you just need to be more careful. Things like caramel in a dark pan can also be hard to tell by sight, but in this case, an instant-read thermometer is an answer.

Cast iron cookware has always been the gold standard of kitchen equipment and is becoming hugely popular. Cast iron frying pans, pans and Dutch ovens are a must-have kitchen item for any serious home cook, and questions about how to use and care for them properly are in full swing on the internet. Questions such as: Is it better than a non-stick pan? -In some cases, yes; should I throw it away if it rusts on top? -absolutely not. But not all cast iron is the same, and the surge in availability of cast iron means it’s time to tackle another popular question: What’s the difference between enamelled cast iron and plain cast iron? -There are some important differences in terms of value, usability and style. Enamel (glass particles fused to a base layer at high temperatures) forms the non-porous surface that protects the core material of the pan or pan. It’s a great heat conductor, easy to clean, won’t rust, can cook anything a standard cast iron pan can do etc (ahem, ketchup). And — bonus ...

No doubt you’ve heard of cast iron pans and frying pans before, but I’ll bet you’ve never heard of hard hard nitriding cast iron skillet before. They’re obscure, they’re relatively unique (at least in the culinary world) and I want to tell you why I believe that nitriding makes the best lightweight cast iron skillets one could want. But first, let me say something that might be controversial: people think that ordinary cast iron pans suck. Over the years, I’ve read about many benefits, from their ability to keep warm and hold heat, to their wonderful heirloom qualities, and the beautiful seasonings they’ve developed over the years and decades. But frankly, I don’t care about any of that. I want a pan that is easy to work with, that doesn’t weigh as much as the armour plate of a bulletproof vest, and that doesn’t require a baby every time I go to clean it. I wanted a lightweight cast iron pan that I could use as easily as a $20 “non-stick” aluminium pan without having to worry about it...

As a manufacturer of personalized cast iron skillet , this article will take you deeper into Chinese cast iron pans from two perspectives: how to clean them and how to season them. How Do I Clean My Cast-Iron Skillet? When you clean your skillet, never use dish soap because it can strip the pan's seasoning (ditto a cycle in the dishwasher or using a steel-wool scrubber). Instead, scrub your cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, then wipe dry with a towel or set the pan over medium-low heat until completely dry. How Do I Season a Cast-Iron Skillet? A cast-iron pan has a thin layer of seasoning which is vegetable oil or flaxseed oil that's bonded to the metal to create a slick cooking surface. It can last a while, so you don't have to re-season it every time you cook, but when you cook with acidic foods, it can break down that layer. A well-seasoned cast-iron pan is virtually nonstick, so it's worth taking the time to season (or re-season if your pan was pre-seas...
