When using a cast iron griddle on an electric stove, it's important to make sure the skillet is properly seasoned.  Seasoning your cast iron griddle creates a non-stick surface and prevents rust.  To season the cast iron griddle, coat the cooking surface with a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat on the stove until it starts to smoke.  Repeat this process a few times and your cast iron griddle is ready to use.

Similarly to cast iron, carbon steel pans need to be seasoned before use (though some, like ours, do come preseasoned). As if these pans weren’t already versatile enough, carbon steel is also safe to use on the grill as well as over an open flame.

While there are instances where you can interchange these two pans, for more specific tasks, there aren’t any.

Dutch Oven Materials:

 The Dutch oven is a versatile and essential piece of cookware that has been used for centuries.  The Dutch oven is a heavy-duty pot with a tight-fitting lid designed for slow cooking, braising, and baking.  Dutch ovens come in a variety of types and materials, each with its own unique uses and functions.

Non-stick frying pans are also easy to clean and maintain, as food and grease can be wiped away with ease. They are also safe for use on all stovetops, including induction.
