Quiche in a Cast Iron Skillet

March 1, 2018 by Wrenn Leave a Comment

We love to cook with cast iron! Arturo had one skillet when we got married and our collection has grown over the years. In fact, we would rather use a cast iron skillet in place of a non-stick skillet any day! You just can’t beat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet! This morning we decided to try a quiche in our favorite castiron and it turned out GREAT!

How to Care for your Cast Iron castiron-10

I know cast iron can be intimidating or some just hate to clean it. So, I thought I would give a quick run through of how I clean and care for our black beauties! castiron

  1. As I am cleaning up the kitchen, the cast iron skillets are the last thing I wash. Not really for sure why on this, I guess because they are usually the messiest and I don’t want to junk up my dishwater. So, after I am done with all the other dishes I dunk them in my dishwater with soap…yes, you heard me with SOAP! I know that is a huge no, no when it comes to caring for cast iron, but Arturo’s momma said it would be fine and what Momma Juana says, go’s!castiron-3
  2. If it is really dirty and has food stuck on it I use a ball of steel wool to scrub it and usually comes right off with little to no trouble! My rule is to NEVER soak my cast iron. It will rust in nothing flat if you do. If it does rust you can for sure bring it back to life, with a little scrubbing and a lot of oil after it is dry, but you work so hard to get a well-seasoned skillet you wouldn’t want to ruin it by not taking time to give it a good scrub and let it dry.castiron-2
  3. After you have it good and clean, it is time to dry it. To dry it you put it back on the stove top and turn on the burner on high and let the heat from the stove dry it.castiron-4
  4. After it is dry, give it a good rub down with some oil on a paper towel. It will be ready to go for the next great meal you want to whip up!
