Cast iron is like an old friend who never lets you down. Not flashy but remarkably consistent, doing all the important things you really need like keeping it together when things get heated. In fact, cast iron handles heat about as good as any other cooking material making it a must-have in the kitchen, especially if you regularly make steaks, burgers and other meats that appreciate a good hot seer. Lodge is one of the best-known — if not the best-known — producer of cast iron, and right now Amazon has a slew of its most popular cookware on sale. That includes skillets, grill pans, Dutch ovens and a few handy accessories. There are good deals to be had and just like an old friend, if you care for your cast iron properly, it’ll reward you handsomely year after year.
