What about as cast iron seasoning?
- nullwarp 4y agoCook some bacon and then just use it as normal. These whole elaborate "seasoning" steps are ridiculous. I've never done a single one of them and fry up eggs in mine all the time .
- hackernewds 4y agoDoesn't cast iron have issues with iron leaching? Not to mention though how much worse Non stick and any other forms are. I've only found ceramic to be better, but can't send it through high heats.
- jcdavis 4y agoOnly with acidic foods
- justinator 4y agoCorrect - don't cook say: tomatoes/tomato sauce in them.
- loeg 4y agoOr do. You need some iron in your diet.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoYou almost certainly get enough in your diet without having to rely on cast-iron cookware. Is the iron that leaches out even particularly bioavailable? When we talk about iron in the diet we're really talking about iron as part a molecule, not just the raw element.
- loeg 4y agoIt appears to be a “non-heme” source (some bioavailability, like nuts/greens, but not as much as “heme” sources, like red meat). Regardless, getting some iron via the cookware doesn’t hurt.
- xwdv 4y agoNo, you will mess up your cast iron. Cook them in stainless steel.
- loeg 4y agoNo, it doesn’t mess up your pan at all. We cook tomato sauces in our cast iron pan all the time and it’s totally fine. Besides, a new pan is like, $12.
- justinator 4y agoHow does it effect, say: the taste?
- jimjimjim 4y agocompared to all the other bad stuff out there, some extra iron in your diet is pretty good. Kick that anemia to the curb.
- loeg 4y agoIron isn't harmful.
