Aluminum: Aluminum Dutch ovens are lightweight and offer superior heat conduction. They are often used for camping and outdoor cooking due to their portability and durability.

 Cast iron cookware has been a staple in the kitchen for centuries, and its enduring popularity is a testament to its durability and versatility.  Whether you are an experienced cook or a novice cook, investing in cast iron cookware is a decision that can enhance your cooking experience.  When considering purchasing cast iron cookware, it's important to understand the different types available and their prices to make an informed decision.

    There are a few key steps to remember when using a cast griddle pan.  First, it's important to season your pan properly before using it for the first time.  This involves coating a cast iron grill pan with a thin layer of oil and heating the cast iron grill pan in the oven to create a non-stick surface.  Once seasoned, the skillet can be used to cook a variety of foods, from meats and vegetables to sandwiches and more.

Non- stick pans are light in weight and heat up very fast. They work best under low heat and should never be subjected to high temperatures. They also get scratched by metallic utensils, so always use plastic or silicone cooking spoons with them.

Stainless steel pans are non-corrosive, so they don't react with foods and leach into them. They can however stick to food if it is cooked without oil. They're good for sautéing, pan-frying, stir-frying, braising and searing meat, and oven-cooking.
