Cast iron skillet is on my shopping list, I'm totally aligned with your thinking, Patrick. Interacting with the (benign) natural elements is something we should strive towards, rather than continually insulating ourselves from them.

Glad to hear you're enjoying them. I have two, one large and one small, my daughter even requests that I cook some particular dishes in them, because it shifts the flavour slightly. A favourite is cavolo nero sauteed in olive oil with garlic, and a tiny splash of red wine vinegar at the end. I sometimes scrub them with rock salt for particularly stubborn bits.

I really love this piece! There are so many distractions in our modern world that keep us from appreciating the real, but I believe that in "small" choices like these, we consciously add more life to our lives. Thank you for your words!
