Has anybody heard that cast iron cookware is a "NONO" on ceramic/glass cook-top stoves?...?
...I believe other than thescratching possibility, the pans get too hot for those type of stoves and eventually can ruin the burners by 'burning them out'. Do you agree with this?I had read a while back that cast iron wasn't ok to use, but now I can't seem to find that.My fiance loves cast iron so I need to find out if he can use that. He won't use the hard anodized or Teflon types.Can you use glass cookware on this type of stove? Can those reversible griddles be used on this type of stove? Such as the ones from Lodge.Thank you for answering
How to season/clean cast iron cookware?
I grew up with my grandmothers old cast iron skillets and have envied my mothers since I moved out of the house. I bought a preseasoned one today and I'm not quite sure what to do with it. I wiped it down with an oiled paper towel and stuck it in the oven for about a half hour and then wiped the excess oil off in preparation for its first use. Is this correct? Also, what should I use to clean it? We used to stick my moms in the dishwasher and it was fine but I assume that will ruin the seasoning on such a new pan? I've heard soap is fine and others say never to wash it with soap. Whats best?
