One of the most notable advantages of a cast iron covered skillet is its exceptional heat retention. When properly preheated, cast iron can hold onto heat longer than many other materials, making it ideal for searing meats to perfection. The heavy lid that accompanies the skillet enhances this feature, trapping moisture and heat within. This means that you can create a crispy sear on the outside of your dish while keeping it tender and juicy on the inside. Perfect for braising, sautéing, or even baking, the covered skillet excels at cooking methods that require moisture and heat regulation.
