When purchasing new equipment for the kitchen there are many things to consider: price, durability, manufacturer, etc. For people with limited kitchen and counter space, one attribute that should be a top priority is versatility. Cast iron griddles can be used to cook a wide range of foods and are compact, so they’re easy to stow.

Nearly every breakfast food is quick and easy to prepare on a griddle. You can do pancakes, eggs and bacon all on the same piece of equipment. Many cast iron models even come pre-seasoned, giving your dishes extra flavor without any additives.

This is so simple you will wish all of your pots and pans were .

To clean your cast iron pot it is best to just put water in in and bring it to a boil. Then simply pour out the water and wipe it clean with a paper towel.

You never want to use detergent on your cast iron. It will ruin the seasoning.

Also avoid putting your hot cast iron in cold water. This may cause cracking or warping of the pan.
