Cast iron cookware has been around for hundreds of years, and for good reason. Nothing sticks to seasoned cast iron cookware, it won't peel or scratch. Plus it is even rust resistant if seasoned properly.
Dutch ovens and Jambalya pots are great to use. They heat evenly which stops hot and cold spots from forming, and prevents burnt food.
The reason you should season your cast iron cookware is so oil can be absorbed into the iron. This creates a non-stick, rustproof finish.
The first thing you should do in order to season your cookware properly is to wash your cookware thoroughly. Use a stiff brush with hot soapy water. You need to wash off the wax coating manufacturers put on the cookware to protect it from rust during storage.
