Cast Iron Cooking

Arguably, the most important investment you can make in your well-prepared survival

kitchen is a good set of cast iron cookery .
Some people will tell you that aluminum is better. The thought process there is that it is
light and easy to carry. Many more think steel is the way to go.

However, for durable, long-lasting cookware that will only get better the more you use it,
nothing compares to cast iron. Cast iron can stand up to the heat of open fire cooking,
and it is easy to maintain.

Good cast iron is not cheap, but it’s worth it to spend a little extra to get the good stuff.

supermarkets are empty, and you will be stuck with a flimsy pot that has a gaping hole in

it where your cast iron ought to be.

Care and Use

So now you know why you need cast iron. If you want your cast iron to be nonstick and
easy to manage, there are a couple of things you ought to know.
