One of the primary advantages of a shallow cast iron skillet is its exceptional heat retention. When properly preheated, it provides an even cooking surface, allowing for perfect searing, sautéing, and frying. This characteristic is particularly useful for preparing dishes that require a crispy exterior, such as fried chicken, cornbread, and vegetables. The skillet’s ability to maintain consistent heat can also help ensure that food cooks evenly, reducing the chances of hot spots that can lead to burnt or undercooked areas.

With proper seasoning, a cast iron grill pan develops a natural non-stick surface that allows for healthier cooking with less oil.

Unlike synthetic non-stick coatings that can wear out or become damaged, a well-seasoned cast iron grill pan can last a lifetime and even develop a rich patina unique to the user.
