5 Stars The Best!!!!
Being fairly new to this wonderful world of cast iron, I needed all the help I could get, and this book gives you all the help you need. I had been desperate to find ways to clean my old cast iron, and chapt. 3 was right on the money. It was worth buying the book for that chapter alone. I also found out how cast iron is made and also that you really need to search the backround of the company that you are purchasing your cast iron from. Many companies may have names that sound like they are made in the USA, but after checking, they aren’t. The problem with this is the contents of the cast iron are not regulated outside the U.S. as stringently as they are here. What I’m trying to say is, you really don’t know what you may be eating out of. I am returning an order after finding my item was made in China. It took almost an hour on line to find that info out. It was well hidden. I am now strictly sticking to Lodge Logic. Great products, and a regulated American company.

Very inclusive. I am recommending this book to all my Scouting friends. The “older” leaders among us have difficulties condensing all of the sources of Cast Iron (particularly Dutch Oven) cooking into a consistently easy reference. This does it!
5 Stars Great book
This book has good information as well as wonderful recipes. Highly recommend if you like cooking with cast iron.
3 Stars Good reference
Didn’t care much for the recipes I’ve tried. However, it’s an invaluable book for learning how to care for your cast iron cookware.

I just got a new cast iron skillet as a wedding gift and have never used one before. I have heard so many good things about cast irons, thats why i asked for one on my wedding registry. However, I don’t have the slighest idea what to do with it! I am ordering “Cast Iron Cooking for Dummies” which will hopefully redirect me to easy beginner recipes and cast iron tips. I am looking foward to surprising my new husband with a delicious dinners and deserts made with love from our new cast iron!
