The DARK SIDE of Cast Iron Nobody Talks About

Описание: Are you being lied to about your kitchen? We see the perfectly curated farmhouse photos, but nobody wants to talk about the inconvenient truth of owning a cast iron skillet. Today, I’m exposing the 7 dark secrets of cast iron that they don’t want you to know!

From the "nonstick" lie to the constant battle with the rust monster, I am breaking down why this pan is more like a high maintenance pet than a kitchen tool. But don't get it twisted—I'm still a diehard fan, and I'm going to show you why the "forever chemicals" in other pans make this "dumbbell with a handle" the only surface you can truly trust.

My mission is to protect your cast iron from bad advice and help you grow every single day. We’re out here in the backyard challenging the concepts you've been told and finding the simple path to a pan your grandkids will fight over. It's okay to be wrong about your iron, as long as we learn to do it better together.
