The cast iron skillet is a durable kitchen essential, crafted from molten iron for superior heat retention and distribution. With a thick, heavy-bottomed design, it excels in frying, searing, baking, and slow cooking. Its natural non-stick surface, or seasoning, improves over time with oil absorption. Known for longevity, these skillets require minimal care, mainly periodic seasoning for a protective coating. A favorite among home cooks and chefs, the cast iron skillet adds tradition and flavor to a variety of dishes, making it a versatile and timeless kitchen tool.

1. Wash your new skillet with soap and brush.
2. Rinse with water
3. Dry off the skillet with a dry cloth
4. Heat it on stove top until it is smoking hot to make sure complete dry(this step is important as water is the enemy of cast iron skillet)
5. Apply a thin, even coating of cooking oil of your choice (inside and outside of the skillet)
Note: Remember to wipe off excess oil.
6. Hang to dry for next use
5 mistakes to avoid when cooking with a cast iron skillet:
1. Always pre-heat the skillet before cooking
Avoid putting cold food on cold cast iron skillet as this step will definitely make the food stick on the skillet.
2. Grease it after heated up
Any butter or lard grease can help to enhance your food taste and improve the non-stickiness of the skillets.

Do not keep moving the steak on a hot skillet when searing to form a good crust.
4. Flip when the food is done
Flip the steak when you see the thin brown crust forming on the outside of the steak.
