Go Classic in the Kitchen With Cast Iron Cookware
If it's getting to be that time where new cookware is required, consider going with something classic like cast iron. This type of cookware is not only high quality and durable, but it also makes a lovely addition to your kitchen. Williams Sonoma offers a vast array of cast iron cookware for those looking to upgrade their cooking essentials.
What is Cast Iron?
Made up of iron-carbon alloys, cast iron is chemical free and built to last. One of its biggest benefits is that it holds heat well and once hot, it will stay that way. In this regard, cast iron is more effective in even heat distribution than stainless steel. Cast iron is a great cookware choice for the kitchen, as it is also very durable and easy to clean. As it is dishwasher-safe, simply stack it in the dishwasher and you're done or read our tips on how to clean a cast iron skillet.
