They say cast iron lasts a lifetime, and for me that’s been true so far. We’ve been using our cast iron pan for a few years now, and it shows no signs of slowing down.

Check out the best cast iron skillets to learn more about this material and to see the top performers. 

Such cookware can be used to prepare all kinds of recipes, from searing vegetables to frying chicken. Admittedly, we predominantly use our cast iron for grilling steaks — both thick and thin.

If you’re keen to learn all about it, I’ve listed 7 things my cast iron grill has taught me here.
