Rustic Cast Iron - Southern Comfort Foods

About this event

Cooking with cast iron is an art form passed down through generations—and we're excited to teach you how to master it in your own kitchen. In our cooking sessions and interactive workshop, you’ll discover:

• How to Choose & Season Your Pan: Understand the difference between vintage and modern iron, and learn how to build a natural, non-stick seasoning coat that lasts a lifetime.

• Heat Control & Moisture Retention: Learn why cast iron holds and distributes heat unlike any other cookware, allowing you to achieve the perfect sear on meats without drying them out.

• The Crispy Crust Technique: Master the pre-heating process essential for authentic Southern cornbread, biscuits, and pan-seared meats.

• Care, Cleaning & Restoration: Bust the common myths about soap and water! Learn how to clean, dry, oil, and store your skillet so it stays rust-free and gets better with every single meal. Come hungry, leave inspired, and take home techniques you’ll be excited to use again.
