Why cast iron skillets are a kitchen staple I’ve been cooking with cast iron for over 20 years, and it’s still one of the most reliable tools in my kitchen. Durable, versatile, and better with time — this is one staple I’ll always recommend. This is a Pretty Prim Staple from The Pretty Prim Playbook. Shop my favorite cast iron skillets below.
