While there are myths aplenty about the curing, caring, and cleaning of cast iron, I subscribe to very few of them..
While there are pros and cons to both gas and electric stove tops, there's one thing you can feel good about regardless of which cooktop you're using — cooking with cast iron. Yes, it's true: electric stove tops (even ones with glass tops!) can handle the trendy, trusty, and yes, very heavy cookware, both regular and enameled. We understand the fear: you've spent money on a shiny new glass top stove (or are renting a space that has one), and you're hesitant to use cast iron for fear of scratching, cracking, or staining it. But if you pay attention to the following reminders, you'll be searing and sizzling away in no time.
