For those who love to cook pancakes, sandwiches, or grilled meats, cast iron griddles offer a flat surface that can be heated on the stovetop or an outdoor grill. These griddles evenly distribute heat, allowing for consistent cooking and beautiful sear marks. Like skillets, griddles develop a natural non-stick surface with seasoning, making them ideal for cooking a variety of foods.

Another major benefit is the health factor. Non-stick coatings, especially those free from harmful chemicals like PFOA and PFTE, promote healthier cooking. Less oil or butter is required, making it easier to prepare low-fat meals without sacrificing flavor or texture. This is a significant consideration for health-conscious individuals looking to maintain a balanced diet.

How to Properly Season a Cast Iron Skillet

Cleaning an iron skillet might seem daunting, but it's relatively simple. After cooking, allow the skillet to cool slightly, then wipe it down with a paper towel or a cloth. For stubborn residue, a gentle scrub with coarse salt and a bit of water will do the trick. Avoid using soap, as it can strip the skillet of its seasoning. By maintaining the skillet's seasoning, you ensure a non-stick surface that only improves with time.

Care and Maintenance

Another significant benefit of cast iron is its durability. Cast iron cookware is built to last for generations, making it a worthwhile investment for any outdoor cook. With proper care, it can endure the elements and the wear and tear of camping trips. Unlike some modern cookware that may chip or warp, a well-maintained cast iron skillet or Dutch oven can become an heirloom item, passed down through families. Over time, the seasoning on the cookware improves, providing a natural, non-stick surface that enhances flavors.

Moreover, cleaning up after a meal in a 4.5-quart camp oven is relatively simple if proper care is taken. Regular seasoning of the cast iron helps maintain its non-stick surface and prevents rust, ensuring it remains a reliable cooking companion for many camping trips to come.
