by Matthew Livingston

Your best friend in the kitchen for Everyday CookingCooking using a Cast iron skillet, Sheet pan, or Dutch oven may appear to be limiting for some, but we have found for you 200 recipes and ideas to experiment with, whatever cooking method you choose--and the beauty of these recipes is that most require only a single pot so no need to use and spoil anything else to make yourself a delicious recipe without the fuss. Cooking with cast iron has the following ● Great heat retention properties-that means that your food will cook faster and will stay warm for more time after you take it off the stove.● Great for searing and frying. If one particular recipe calls for searing or frying some ingredients or even forming a crust, a cast iron skillet is an excellent choice as it warms up really fast.● You can use it both on the stovetop and in the oven. Cast iron is one of the types of cookware materials that you can use both on the stovetop and in the oven--some recipes call for both cooking methods and so you can use a single skillet without the need of popping another one in the oven. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sheet pan cooking Even distribution of food. Forget about stacking up all your food ingredients on top of each other, when they have to be cooked at the same time. A single sheet pan will allow you to distribute all your ingredients with ease and they will cook at the same time. Easy assembling and cleaning up. Sheet pan cooking is probably the easiest way to cook as you typically won't need any other skillets to cook an entire meal. You simply toss most if not all your ingredients over the sheet pan and voila--food is ready in much less time. It's also easy to clean up afterward as you simply toss the parchment paper and use a wet cloth to clean any residue in seconds. Ideal for cooking healthy meals. Due to the fact that most sheet pan recipes call for the use of minimal to no grease at all, you'll be able to cook healthy meals minus the calories you'll get when you use other cooking methods e.g frying.___________________________________________________________________________ Benefits of Dutch oven Ability to retain heat. Dutch's oven ability to retain heat makes it more economical as fewer resources and energy is needed to cook the food, even for long hours. Prevents moisture loss. The tightly fitted lid of the dutch oven prevents moisture loss during slow cooking and so your food will be moister instead of dry. Ideal for multiple cooking ways. The Dutch oven isn't only for baking and slow-roasting. You can also use it on the stovetop to sear meats or saute vegetables if you wish. Some recipes call for the use of more than one cooking method so this will allow you to do them all using a single pot. Great for cooking larger portions of food. If you are a big family or you'll be hosting a guest party, a typical dutch oven (around 10" inches) has a capacity of 4 quarts up to which is equal to 8-10 portions of food.We wish you all the best with over than 200 tasty recipes.

A helpful cookbook

I liked a few things, although I am really trying to avoid premade or packaged food. For those who are still figuring out new recipes, this is a good choice to work with. It help by having the book divided into sections based on which pan option you might be using.

I am volunteering an honest review for the benefit of others.

Found only several recipes to try as the collection takes “making from scratch” very seriously!
