Cast iron pots

[keakar]

I would add this, the way to choose between two pots you are having trouble deciding about is to look at the weight of them if its listed or just feel them, the thickness of the iron varies between brands and weight is a big key in telling you about the quality of that pot so the heavier pot will almost always be stronger.

also, this has nothing to do with cooking in them but, something I learned long ago about iron pots is don't leave your food in the pot overnight after cooking or the food gets a slight iron taste to it so if you save leftovers move it to a different container and if you have grease you are saving its worth the trouble to pour in into a container and not leave it in the pot. many people don't notice the iron taste you get from things sitting in the pot too long but it does happen. iron pots cant be beat for cooking food but they shouldn't be used to store food in after its cooked.
