May 12, 2016

Tips on lovin' your Dutch Oven

Cooking with cast iron is a modern old-world ritual that just feels right. From the moment you heft a cast iron skillet to the burner or campfire, you know you're about to do something real. There's a connection to your craft when you use cast iron. Use it, abuse it and season it for another round. Cast iron is durable, versatile an reliable in the kitchen and in the field.

Seasoning and caring for your cast iron cookware is easy, too. With a little maintenance your cast iron cookware can outperform other types of cookware and will last for generations.

In this installment of Coastal 101, our Coastal Kitchen chef, Jalet Farrell talks with host, John Kelly, about the basics of seasoning and caring for your cast iron. Jalet also talks about how you can rescue that old, forgotten cookware that may be rusty and neglected.
