We have been seeing our parents and grandparents cooking on iron cookware for a long time.
Before all the fancy new cookware entered the market, iron utensils were a part of most kitchens.
Iron cookware is considered great for cooking as it does not have any additional synthetic coating.
These utensils transfer heat evenly which is great for cooking.
It is not at all a hassle to wash iron cookware.
One can use iron cookware for years and years.
