I also have not used aluminum in years due to the current research on aluminum and Alzheimer's. I have used ceramic, ceramic enamel and copper. But my brother is also very concerned about Alzheimer's and I convinced him to try a cast iron skillet. He bought one, seasoned it and has been extremely happy with the results after some initial problems with seasoning the pan. Meanwhile, my current skillet began showing signs of wear, and since copper skillets have an aluminum core, I decided to try this cast iron skillet. I selected this one because it looked sturdier than the newer ones, which were pretty light weight. Once upon a time, you used only lard or bacon fat to season a skillet. Be warned if you use standard vegetable oil, you will probably be unhappy with the result, which is what my brother did. There are numerous articles on the web that will give you instructions on how to season a pan, and excellent instructions came with this pan. If you are vegetarian, try hard Crisco shortening because even though it is a vegetable based, its consistency allows it to seep through the porous surface of the pan. You can also use grape seed oil with equal success. However, standard vegetable oil cannot seep through the surface of the pan and what you end up having to do is re-season the pan. Pre-seasoned does not mean the surface of the pan is ready for cooking. Your food will stick if you try the pan without properly seasoning it first and the instructions that come with this pan tell you that. So I used bacon fat and then followed the rest of the instructions that Fresh Australian Kitchen provided. It takes 2 to 3 hours to properly season this pan, so plan it for a rainy afternoon or a time when you aren't doing anything else important. Remember that you are placing a pan upside down in a hot (500 degrees) oven for two hours. Remember to put aluminum foil or a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil underneath it because as the oil heats and drips there is always the possibility of an oven fire. If you catch that grease you probably won't have any problems. Also be aware that the pan will smoke as it seasons. If you have super sensitive fire alarms, ensure you have the hood fan on before you start the oven. In another place where I lived, I absolutely guaranty that if you seasoned a pan, the fire alarm would go off, whether the hood fan was on or not. Cast iron retains heat for a surprisingly long time. Leave the pan in the oven for two hours and do not remove it until the pan and the oven are both completely cool. This will also give the grease you heated time to harden. During the first use, you will find that you will have to adjust cooking time if you are used to using other surfaces. The heating time is slower but the cooking time is faster due to the thickness of the iron, which retains more heat than other surfaces. It also takes a long time for the pan to become cool enough for you to clean it. I recommend using an ove glove, a mitt or silicon handle holders to protect yourself from burns because that handle gets really hot. Follow the instructions on cleaning from Fresh Australian Kitchen. Do not use soap or you will have to re-season your pan, which can become a royal pain in the neck. Make sure you dry the pan thoroughly after cleaning or using liquids with it. Iron rusts. Then you will really have to start from scratch on getting the rust out and re-seasoning the pan. Once your pan is correctly seasoned, the more you use it, the smoother and more non-stick the surface will become. I think you will really be pleased with it and the fact that you are not ingesting chemicals like Teflon or metals like aluminum. The good news is that there is some transfer of iron. If you tend to be anemic, as many women are, seriously consider cast iron. Review: Best cast iron pan for steaks - This cast iron pan is a must for making steaks. They come out perfect.
