A cast iron skillet is easy to clean, you get the benefits of the iron, and there’s just something old-fashioned and good about cooking in an iron skillet.

I have fond memories of my mom and my grandmother doing most of their cooking in an iron skillet. So, there is that sentimental aspect of a cast iron skillet.
