Since the cast iron will retain heat, there is less fuel needed for cooking. The heavy lid seals the pot and steams the food, which keeps it moist and tender.

Think of flavored cast iron as a way to separate metals from food. Without this protection, your cast iron will retain some of the food you cook, making some meals a little unpalatable. Also, without an oil layer, your cast iron is likely to rust. Then it’s important to make sure you have a coating that covers the surface of your new oven. There are different opinions as to what oil should be used to flavor cast iron. Some people use vegetable shortening, vegetable oil, olive oil or commercially available cast iron hair conditioners. We prefer olive oil to vegetable shortening or vegetable oil because extra virgin olive oil is less likely to spoil.
