Something special for Father’s Day

This is the season to think of Dad. I know that you are planning for Father’s Day, June 20th . May we suggest a gift that is manly, rugged, time-honored and also useful? Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron is a perfect cookware to go from stovetop to the great outdoors. The pre-seasoning process eliminates the hassle of preparing the iron yourself: seasoning seals the pot and builds a natural non-stick surface. You can cook with our pre-seasoned line right away, and each time you do the season continues to build making the pot better with age.
Prized for it’s heat retention and ability to withstand harsh temperature, cast iron is a time-honored choice for cooking over a campfire. Because cooking oils actually help season the pots, many cast iron chefs frown on washing their cookware with soap and water, preferring instead to thoroughly wipe it clean, or to scour with a bit of coarse salt then wipe clean, eliminating the need to have a faucet and soap with you in the wild. We know dad will like the rough-it-gourmet style of cast iron. Best yet, nothing brings a family together like a great meal: how about a camp out chili with a hot pan of cornbread?
