What's in your kitchen?  | | What type of pots and pans do you use? Cast Iron? Copper? Aluminum? Stainless steel? Nonstick with Teflon? I have a variety of them and use them all for different reasons but my favorite being the cast iron one. With a little heat, these cast iron pots and pans perform just as well as or better than Teflon options, without all the health question marks. Foods cooked in cast iron absorb valuable iron that's good for your health. Also Cast iron pans (at about $25) are a fraction of the cost of many nonstick pans (which can cost you $50 and up), and they last forever if taken care of properly. I still have one that belonged to my great grandmother that I was given 18 years ago and it is in great shape still.When seasoned properly cast iron pans are as nonstick as the usual options, but without the chemical polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a likely carcinogen according to the EPA. How do you season your cast iron pans assuming you use them..Here is a great way that works well. To initially season your cast iron pan: 1) heat it on the stove while you brush the pan's surface evenly with cooking oil; 2) bake in a 350 degree oven for an hour, then 3) let it cool in the oven. To keep your cast iron non-sticky, only use salt (or very mild soap, if you must) for washing, dry, then drizzle on some oil and wipe with a cloth. Some use Shortening. SO what do you use or prefer? Do you have any pots and pans that have been handed down to you that you still have or use?

| | 24. MsTickle (8973) | 10 months ago | I use mainly stainless steel but also use Teflon and I have some enamelware which is rarely used.
Don't you find the cast iron too heavy? I have to be careful as my wrists are a bit dodgy these days.

mtdewgurl74 (10337) | 10 months ago | My mom has wrist problems. I usually use both hands when handling the cast iron skillets. It is heavy but I feel it is that heaviness that makes it better. Thanks for the response.

| | 25. winterose (17838) | 10 months ago | I have tyflon and I have stainless steel, I hate stainless steel because they stain and then it is very hard to get the stains out. I wish I still had a cast iron pot, I really love them.

mtdewgurl74 (10337) | 8 months ago | I have a whole set of glass bakeware that my husband bought me as a anniversary gift a few years ago and they are rarely used since it is so heavy and it seems it takes longer to cook with them. I only use them when all other pans are being used and they are the only option left.

mtdewgurl74 (10337) | 8 months ago | I have 2 toasters..comes in handy for getting the toast done faster. I would love a 4 slice toaster that also can do the bagels. But those are costly so I guess I will stick to what I got..

| | 27. ersmommy1 (10497) | 7 months ago | I have 2 cast iron skillets. On large, one small. I also have a non stick skillet. I think it depends what you cook for which you use. I have seasoned my cast irons with veggie oil. I have also used a bit of olive oil. I just use what is handy.

mtdewgurl74 (10337) | 7 months ago | Thanks for responding to my discussion ersmommy1 I appreciate it. I have not used the veggie oil but canola and I haven't used the Olive oil but I would try it.
