Why You Need This Book
Learn How To Saut, Stir-Fry And Pan-Roast Like A Pro
Cooking with cast iron appliances will undoubtedly enhance the flavor and texture of your food, whether you saut, stir-fry or pan roast proteins and vegetables. Professionals consistently choose cast iron because of its unique capacity to reach very high temperatures and retain high heat throughout the cooking process. The ability to maintain this temperature results in perfectly seared, crispy foods. You will discover why this feature is vital to producing delicious foods when utilizing any of these cooking methods.
Learn How To Properly Season Your Pans
Seasoning your cast iron skillet is essential to proper cooking and maintenance. Traditional cast-iron skillets do not have non-stick surfaces. Seasoning entails coating the skillet with cooking oil and baking it in an oven, thereby giving it the shiny, hard surface associated with cast iron skillets. Each subsequent time you heat oil in the skillet, you fortify its nonstick barrier. Seasoning in this manner enables a cast-iron skillet to easily release foods and prevents rusting.
