The natural non-stick surface of a well-seasoned cast iron pan is another reason for its popularity. Seasoning involves coating the pan with oil and heating it, creating a layer of polymerized fat that prevents food from sticking. With regular use and maintenance, the non-stick quality improves over time, allowing for easy food release. This makes cooking delicate items like eggs or pancakes a breeze, without the fear of them sticking and tearing apart.
