Why it's useful
- Holds heat for a great sear on steaks, burgers and cornbread.
- Goes from stovetop to oven to campfire.
- Arrives pre-seasoned and gets more nonstick the more you cook in it.
Who it's for
First-apartment cooks, campers, and anyone replacing a worn-out nonstick pan.
Heads-up
Cast iron is heavy and needs hand-washing and drying to stay rust-free.
