If you want to choose a good cast iron cookware(such as cast iron skillet, frypan, frying pan ,

Casserole, dutch oven ,pot ,wok, grill pan, griddle and so on ) , you could do as the following :

 

First "look": see if the surface of the cast iron cookware is smooth, but it cannot be as smooth as a mirror. Due to the casting process, the cast iron cookware has irregular shallow lines. Under normal circumstances, cast iron cookwares are somewhat rough, which is inevitable, and will become smooth after a long time. Defects and small raised parts are generally iron, which has little effect on the quality of the cast iron cookware, but small pits are more harmful to the quality of the cookware, so you should pay attention to it when purchasing.

 

Second "listen": a cast iron cookware with uneven thickness is not good. When buying, you can turn the bottom of the cookware upside down, press your fingers against the center of the concave surface of the cookware, and hit it with a hard object. The louder the cookware sounds and the greater the vibration, the better. In addition, rust spots on the cookware are not necessarily poor quality. The pot with rust spots indicates that the storage time is long, and the longer the storage time of the pot, the better, so that the internal organization of the pot can be more stable, and it is not easy to crack when it is first used. It is worth reminding that the ears of the iron cookware are preferably wrapped with wood or other insulating materials. If the iron ears are easy to burn.
