Cooking with Cast Iron

One of the most ancient cooking materials, cast iron has long been prized for its even heat distribution on savory and sweet dishes alike. Cast iron works like a charm on the grill, providing the perfect sear every time. Or use it to turn out a delicate dutch baby pancake, puffed in the oven and sweet with spiced apples. In any season, you can get terrific results from this hardworking kitchen tool, whether a recipe calls for cast iron or not. Paired with Challenge Butter, there’s nearly nothing a cast iron skillet can’t do.
