One of the primary advantages of a cast iron shallow skillet is its ability to evenly distribute heat, which is crucial for cooking a variety of dishes.

One of the unique advantages of cast iron cookware is its ability to improve with age, particularly when properly seasoned. Seasoning your small cast iron skillet creates a natural non-stick surface that is perfect for cooking eggs. To season your skillet, begin by cleaning it with hot water and mild soap, then dry it thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of vegetable oil or a specialized cast iron seasoning oil and bake it upside down in the oven at a high temperature for about an hour. This process builds up a protective layer that enhances both the cooking performance and flavor of your eggs.
