Cook It in Cast Iron - Kitchen-Tested Recipes for the One Pan That Does It All (Cook's Country)

The cast-iron skillet is a sturdy, versatile, traditional kitchen workhorse that 85% of us own but far fewer of us reach for daily, mostly because we have one or two recipes we use it for and otherwise it stays in the back of the cabinet. In this new cookbook, the editors of Cook's Country will show you everything you need to know about cast-iron cookware and the many (and often surprising) dishes you can cook and bake in this multitasker of a pan, from the classic dishes everyone knows and loves like steak, perfect fried eggs, and cornbread, to innovative and inspiring recipes like skillet apple pie, pizza, and cinnamon swirl bread. Learn about this cast iron's history and what makes it uniquely American and let us show you how to shop for, season, care for, and clean this perfect pan.

Reviews

"This is a great cookbook if you are new to or very familiar with cast iron. I have used it several times and the products I've made have turned out wonderfully. It has old favorites like roast chicken and new ones to try. I like the information included in the introduction explaining the "ins and outs" of using and cleaning cast iron. It features a variety of recipes from breakfast to dinner ideas which feature all types of proteins. All in all, a great resource for cast iron lovers like me."

"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this cover to cover, and I can't wait to start cooking. I loved the variety of recipes. I especially loved how they reviewed various brands of cast iron pans, although I would be interested in their opinion on the cast iron griddle pans, but they only reviewed smooth bottom ones. This will be a go-to cookbook in my home, and I highly recommend it."

"This cookbook has rekindled the use of my iron cast skillet. The recipes are easy to follow and are accompanied by a photograph. A brief description of each recipe is also very helpful. I have made many of the recipes and find them tasty. This book is in my kitchen for ready reference and use."
