Join us at the French Legation for a demonstration on how to care for cast iron cookware. Topics include seasoning pieces in our open hearth and best practices for cleaning. Cast iron has been used in cooking for over 2,500 years, prized for it's ability to retain and heat evenly while remaining durable. From cowboy’s campfires on the Chisholm Trail to the French brasseries of New Orleans, cast iron has been widely used in American and, more so, in Southern Cooking.
