Once upon a time, cast iron was used in cauldrons.
Today, it’s evolved into a versatile kitchen staple that takes on many forms, far beyond the traditional function of simply being a pan.
To show our appreciation for the versatile kitchen staple, we've rounded up some of the greatest iterations of cast-iron everything, from pans to dutch ovens (giggle) and everything in between. Lucky you!
