Cast iron has been my skillet of choice for  many years now. There are only two things that get better with age in the kitchen. One is cast iron and the other is homemade  sourdough starter ! WHY CAST IRON IS BETTER THAN NONSTICK Reason #1, of course, is it doesn’t have all the bad stuff. Nonstick pans are coated with a carcinogenic chemical  called perfluorooctanoic acid.

We bought it for a super cheap price, lived with the ugly (other than a lit...
