Silicon iron

A cast iron skillet is almost always made entirely of, you guessed it, cast iron. They consist of a mixture (alloy) of iron, carbon, manganese, and silicon. Raw iron is smelted together with coke, a type of coal, and lime. This compound is then placed in a mold. In Asia, especially China, Japan, and Korea, there is a long tradition of cooking in cast iron pots. nonstick fry pan frying pan set stainless steel frying pan electric frying pan best ceramic nonstick frying pan best nonstick skillet best ceramic cookware set best pots and pans for gas stove stainless steel cookware pots and pans best ceramic pots and pans non stick cookware set
