The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require “seasoning.” To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother’s ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn’t stick to this surface. A large skillet, such as this one, is ideal for frying chicken or catfish or for baking a pie.

Despite the fact that eggs provide the highest quality protein of any food, they’re a real protein bargain. It’s easy to compare the price of eggs to the price of other protein foods. A dozen Large eggs weigh 1 1/2 pounds, so the price per pound of Large eggs is two-thirds of the price per dozen. For example, if Large eggs cost 90 cents per dozen, they’re only 60 cents per pound. At $1.20 per dozen, Large eggs are just 80 cents per pound. There isn’t another high-quality protein food that can compare.

Nutrient-dense eggs can also help us manage our weight. A good breakfast can help us avoid overeating by making us feel full longer. In adult research, when overweight women had a protein-based breakfast (eggs, toast and fruit spread), they ate fewer calories the rest of the day compared to women who had a carbohydrate-based breakfast (bagel, cream cheese and yogurt). Although the calorie level for both breakfasts was the same, the protein-based breakfast made the women feel more satisfied. Because they didn’t feel ‘starved’ at other meals, the women could avoid filling up with too much food throughout the day.

There’s no reason to reserve eggs just for breakfast, though. The protein power of eggs can provide the energy we need any meal of the day, including dinner. Because just about everyone loves eggs, you’re likely to find that your family appreciates the comfort of hearty egg dishes for evening meals, too. And, you’ll appreciate how easy egg dishes are to prepare.
