Prized for its perfect heat distribution and outstanding thermal efficiency, cast iron represents chef-cred status for today's cooking enthusiasts. Cast iron is perhaps best known as the "natural non-stick" alternative to commercial non-stick cookware. Some non-stick coatings may emit toxic chemicals, while cast iron offers potential health benefits such as supplementing dietary iron intake.
