Hot Off the Stove: A Major Sale on Cast Iron Skillets is Firing Things Up this Memorial Day!

Cast iron skillets are really such versatile and durable cookware that it’s a total must-have in your kitchen for many types of cooking. They’re renowned for their heat retention, distribution and so much more.  Here are a few different types of cast iron skillets, many of which we’ve found some impressive deal prices today:

• Traditional Cast Iron Skillet: These are the classic skillets you might think of, with a flat, heavy bottom and slightly flared, short sides. They often come with a helper handle opposite the main handle due to their weight.
  
  
• Enamelled Cast Iron Skillet: These skillets are coated with a layer of enamel, which prevents them from rusting and removes the need for seasoning. They can come in a variety of colors, which can add aesthetic value.
  
  
• Deep Skillet or Chicken Fryer: These are deeper than traditional skillets and are great for frying or for recipes with a lot of liquid. They often come with a lid.
  
  
• Grill Pan: Cast iron grill pans have raised ridges that allow fat to drip away from the food, and they provide the char lines that you would get from outdoor grilling.
  
  

Remember, regardless of the type, all cast iron pans benefit from regular care, including proper cleaning (avoid soaking in water or using soap), thorough drying to prevent rust, and periodic seasoning. They can last a lifetime, or even generations, when you care for them correctly.
