Because cast iron is unmatched for heat retention and distribution, all of these tasks can be accomplished without fear of scorching. The pot is 4-1/2 inches in diameter by 2-1/2 inches deep. It weighs 3 pounds, must be seasoned with melted shortening and then baked, and needs to be coated with oil or cooking spray after each use to prevent rust. Cast irons weight and care requirements put off some cooks, but, as has been known since the Middle Ages, cast iron permits precise baking and flavor-retentive cooking, has a natural nonstick finish when seasoned, and lasts for generations (thereby increasing its value). As it blackens with use, cast iron imparts to food a mystical aura of rustic nourishment and flavor. --Fred Brack . . .Read More  Use to melt butter or cheese, scald milk, and warm syrup or basting sauce  Cast iron unexcelled for heat distribution, retention; lasts for generations  Naturally nonstick when properly seasoned  Clean with hot water and stiff brush, dry, and cover with cooking spray  Weighs 3 pounds
