Seasoning ?? Please. cast iron is cast iron..

John: Cast iron cookware must be seasoned prior to use, and the seasoning must be carefully preserved else the food will stick and burn and the pan will need forceful cleaning. The seasoning is neither salt nor pepper, but a layer of heat-congealed fat that was the precursor of Teflon.

Best used to cook over a fire of seasoned firewood.

And you should have four of each cast iron pan, one for every season. It would be gauche in the extreme to use a white enameled pan after Labor Day.

Great book. A pan for all seasons.

Those we so popular when I was a kid. Everyone had them. Mostly either the white enamel pots with the red handles and trim and matching top. Equally popular was the deep blue enamel with the white speckles. I still have a coffee pot like that.
