The Unmatched Advantages of Cooking with Cast Iron
Cast iron cookware, including frypans and skillets, are built to last for generations due to its heavy gauge materials and construction, virtually indestructible nature with proper care, becoming a family heirloom. This makes cast iron the perfect choice for home chefs no matter your cooking experience level.
Cast iron frypans and skillets are also one of the most versatile pieces of cookware as it can be used on indoor cooktops, including induction, or over the campfire. Cast iron cookware develops a naturally non-stick, chemical-free surface with consistent seasoning that enhances flavour and becomes better with each use. Suitable for low to high heat, ultra-tough cast iron allows for fast and even heat distribution, with exceptional heat retention, and maintains temperature for longer, making it perfect for searing steaks, grilling sausages, and frying eggs.
Finding Your Perfect Cast Iron Frypan or Skillet at House
When it comes to choosing cast iron frypans and skillets there are a few factors to consider including size, what you want to cook or regularly cook, and if you would prefer natural cast iron or ceramic enamelled cast iron.
- How many people are you cooking for? Cooking solo may only require a small skillet pan, whereas a family will likely need a larger frypan or a multipan. If you’re going on a camping trip with limited resources, which is the most common size you use already.
- The cooking surface area. Will the frypan sit comfortably on the cooktop, or depending on the size, over two burners. Also consider how the frypan will sit over a campfire as a long skillet may not be suitable over a fire, however, maybe sitting on a bed of hot coals.
- What are you cooking? Some foods will require a bit more room than others. Larger portions of steak, or multiple steaks will require a larger skillet, whereas, vegetables you could still use a smaller pan even if it's a bigger serving providing you keep them moving or use a lid like on a cast iron multipan.
- Traditional (bare or natural) cast iron is very durable, chip resistant, and naturally non-stick when seasoned, however, can require more maintenance in regards to regular seasoning and care. An enamelled cast frypan will have the same cooking properties of traditional cast iron, however, the added benefits of no initial seasoning, less maintenance, vibrant colours, non-reactive to acidic foods.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a cast iron pan so special for cooking
Cast iron pans are prized for their exceptional ability to retain and distribute heat evenly, creating perfect searing, crisping, and consistent cooking results. They also become naturally non-stick with proper seasoning and are incredibly durable, lasting for generations.
How do I properly care for my cast iron frypan from House?
To care for your cast iron frypan, always hand wash with hot water and a stiff brush (avoid harsh soap), dry thoroughly immediately, and apply a thin layer of cooking oil to maintain its seasoning. This will prevent rust and keep its non-stick properties strong.
Is buying a cast iron pan a good investment?
Absolutely. A quality cast iron pan from House, like those from Lodge or GRYLT, is a lifetime investment. With proper care, it will outlast other cookware types, continuously improve its performance, and can even be passed down through generations.
What foods are best cooked in cast iron?
Cast iron excels at searing meats (steaks, chicken, pork), frying eggs and bacon, baking cornbread and skillet cookies, roasting vegetables, and even deep-frying. Its ability to hold heat is perfect for achieving a beautiful crust and even cooking.
Are cast iron skillets really non-stick?
A well-seasoned cast iron skillet develops a highly effective, natural non-stick surface over time, without the need for artificial coatings. The more you cook with it and properly maintain the seasoning, the more non-stick it becomes.
