Caring For Cast Iron Cookware


Cast iron cookware can stand the test of time if properly cared for, but many people don't know the few simple steps needed to wash, dry, and store cast iron cookware.
Wash in hot water Hot water is more effective at washing off dirt and grease from your cast iron cookware. Hot water also will dry more quickly, preventing your cast iron cookware from rusting.

Don't over scrub. Over scrubing cast iron cookware removes the healthy coating it has developed. Of course sometimes a piece of cast iron cookware will need to scrubbed. Follow the last step to reseason if you must scrub the cookware.

Dry over heat. Turn a stovetop burner on and place the cast iron cookware on it. The heat will cause the pan to thoroughly dry. Be careful when touching the hot pan.

Reseason the cast iron cookware. Rub a thin layer of shortening or cooking oil into your cast iron cookware to season it, keeping it from deteriorating and rusting.

Then place the cast iron cookware into a warm oven that is off and allow it to sit there overnight.

Non Stick cookware : day-to-day cooking




Manufacturers of non-stick products, however, assure consumers that normal cooking conditions will not result in the extreme temperatures that produce harmful fumes. The FDA also argues that particles that may chip off of non-stick cookware with hard use will pass unchanged through your body and pose no health hazard.

While your pan may not become hot enough to affect the coating during day-to-day cooking, it is a good idea to safeguard against releasing any harmful substances. Use plastic utensils and soft cleaning pads on your cookware to avoid chipping off particles that can get into your food or into the air. Never preheat an empty pan for longer than a minute.

If you would rather avoid the possible hazards of using non-stick cookware (and the hazards of producing it), consider switching to stainless steel or cast iron cookware. Cast iron is an old favorite. It lasts much longer (so long that you can pass cast iron pans to your grandchildren), can safely withstand high temperature, and may be a source of nutritional iron. Stainless steel will not tarnish or corrode and is resistant to wear.

Cooking With Non-stick Cookware


When you buy a nonstick pan, three things should come along with it. A wooden spatula, a nylon sponge and a short booklet that initiates you into the care of your new product. If you take the trouble to read the booklet, you'll know that before you use your nonstick for the first time, you have to wash it thoroughly in hot soapy water with a sponge or dishcloth. Then rinse it in hot water and dry thoroughly. Next, wipe the nonstick surface with a small amount of cooking oil on a paper towel and wipe off the excess oil.

Your pan is now seasoned to use. Incidentally, a heat setting higher then medium is rarely necessary and certainly not advisable. Since one of the advantages of a nonstick pan is that it requires very little oil, you could try using a cooking spray instead of pouring from a can.

A cooking spray works best with olive oil, not a staple , but we're sure you could innovate. The spray itself isn't easily available - but you could try making your own by converting an empty spray can you'd usually use to clean windows. It just might work!
