8. The Go-To Pot for Simmering
Cast Iron Baking Pans make beautiful staple meals, when we’re at home & cooking from what we find in our pantry. Rice, beans, lentils or leftover bits of roasts, all simmer beautifully on your stovetop, along with any aging veggies, too.
Follow the steps above, preheating your pan, popping in a bit of oil, adding & softening your onions & veggies, then garlic & any spices; then add liquids, simmer, & by suppertime you’ll have something extraordinary. (Most slow simmered recipes need at least 2 hours, but could be all day.)
9. Cast Iron Baking Pots Are Pasta-Secret-Superheroes.
Cook your pasta directly in the sauce & discover the flavor revolution.
10. Cast Iron Baking Pots are veggie-heroes too.
When you’re oven-roasting or stove-simmering your protein in liquid, add a layer with a steamer basket so your beautiful produce steams through without turning into muck.
11. Cast Iron Baking Pots Are Induction Friendly
They’ll work on all kinds of stoves & ranges.
CARE: When using on glass-tops, please remember to lift (not slide) your pots & pans: that protects your stovetop from scratches.
12. Hot Tip About Cold
Cast Iron Baking Pots will also hold cold: just pre-chill them in your fridge, along with your fruit salads, and your lovely watermelon will stay cool right to the last bite.
13. Cast Iron Baking Pots Are Also Super For Frying
- Once they get hot, baking pots hold the heat well - perfect for frying.
- Their high sides help collect the splatter, so your kitchen doesn’t get so messy. (A splatter screen still makes a difference.)
14. Cast Iron Baking Pans Can Double As Smokers in a Pinch.
Put your moistened wood chips on a bit of aluminum foil, on the pan bottom, & a steamer basket above. Voila: a smoker for the dreariest of days.
15. Cast Iron Baking Pots Are Easy-Clean, Too!
The easiest way to remove food residue is to put your pot back on the stove, with a couple cups of water in it (you can add a few tablespoons of baking soda, if you like), then pop the lid back on, and bring to a gentle boil on medium heat. Most baked-on caked-on gunk softens & lifts right off. They’re easy to finish cleaning with a nylon brush or scrubber…
