Enameled Cast Iron

“Made from recycled materials”, “all-natural”, “eco-friendly” – these terms used to mean something, but now that every manufacturer wants to appear green, they just don’t carry the same weight that they used to.

So how’s a green-minded consumer supposed to side-step all the hype? A simple way is to direct your spending towards items that are made to last.

Cast iron cookware is the perfect example. With just a bit of care, a cast iron pan will outlive any modern non-stick pan and it will likely outlive you too.

Jump on the buy-it-once bandwagon, and you won’t need a label to tell you that your purchase is a good one.

What buy-it-once purchases have you made? I’d love to hear from you!
