Do you have enough iron in your diet?  A quick way to check is to look in the cabinet with your pots and pans and look for your cast iron skillet.  Don’t have one?  Then you need more iron in your diet.

Mine was $20 at Target and has got to be my favorite piece of cookware.  Weighing in around 5 pounds, it’s not exactly light which is good.  That bulk holds on the heat like no other and will give you forearms of steel as you maneuver the thing from stove to oven to sink to campfire.  In the mornings I cook homemade (alright, home COOKED) tortillas on it.  It’s great for pan frying anything worth pan frying and makes the absolute best cornbread.  Go get one today, and become an Iron Chef.
