Episode 2: Identifying Iron Cookware Plus Smoke Rings! - a podcast by Sara Dahmen

Welcome to episode 2 of Cookware Doctor!

Diving into iron cookware this week! We identify the ways iron - wrought and cast - is used in cookware, both vintage and modern pieces. Plus some discussion on the differences in the kinds of iron processes, spending some time on bails and where hand-crafted ironware is used and why blacksmiths don't work in cast iron. And a bit of trivia: "forge" is a word used three different ways in metalsmithing!

And even more - what is a smoke ring on a cast iron skillet and how was it used in the 1800s?
