Why cast iron cookware is SUPERIOR to anything you've got in the cupboard:

This list is by no means exhaustive, but rather a quick 10 points as to why you're better off buying cast iron than any of that fancy new stuff. Remember kids, NEW TECHNOLOGY, does NOT mean Better technology. (Was the cd really all that much better than vinyl?) The List: 1. It's non stick, if you know what your doing. 2. It lasts forever, well longer than you anyway. 3. It costs way less than Mario's stuff or All Clad. 4. You can cook anything with it. 5. No noxious fumes if heated empty. 6. Easy to care for, NO SOAP NEEDED for washing. 7. It will come in handy if you have a spider around that needs coaxing out of the house. 8. My Grandma swore by the stuff, yours probably did too, unless you're 18 or something like that. 9. Did I mention it's cheap? 10. You can buy it anywhere. Look if you are just starting out and need some gear for the kitchen, you can't do better for your bucks than a 10 inch skillet and a dutch oven. That will cover most of your needs for under about 30 bucks. If you have the mega bucks and wants to spend them, by all means buy the same stuff in allclad or mario and help the economy out, your $300.00 will go a very long way to making a dent in our trade defict with China. "But it's not non-stick", you say? I beg to differ, I have pulled 3 or 4 hundred flawless omelets out of my skillet over the years. Beautiful flawless fluffy tasty omelets. "But I don't like eggs", you say. Well I can't help you with that. All I can say is that Cast Iron rocks, it is far superior to anything you might think about buying, and if you follow the directions for seasoning and cleaning, this cookware will far outlast your ability to lift them onto the stove. I have a set that I plan on using till I'm around 87 and a half or so, after that I'm going on a juice diet. Cheers everyone, lg www.thelgproject.com
