For decades, Rachael Ray – who loves cooking with cast iron – had desired cookware that combines the high performance of classic seasoned cast iron with the beauty of colorful enameled cast iron. So, she designed just that.
The professional chef launched her NITRO Cast Iron collection (available at Walmart), and every piece is durable (and, crucially, rust-resistant) enough to be passed on as a treasured family heirloom. Put simply, Ray's collection uses advanced NITRO heat treatment technology that 'perfectly seals and smooths the usually porous surface of cast iron for enhanced rust-resistance and durability,' according to the manufacturer, Meyer. 'It's a unique collection that uses next generation technology to address age-old problems that plague traditional and enameled cast iron cookware,' the release says.
