Bare cast iron vessels have been used for cooking for over two thousand years. Cast iron pan and cooking pots were valued as kitchen items for their durability and their ability to retain heat, thus improving the quality of cooking meals.

Cast iron's ability to withstand and maintain very high cooking temperatures makes it a common choice for searing or frying, and its excellent heat retention makes it a good option for long-cooking stews or braised dishes. Because cast iron skillets can develop a "non-stick" surface, they are also a good choice for egg dishes. Other uses of cast iron pans include baking, for instance for making cornbread, cobblers and cakes.
