It all started with a skillet. Not just any skillet, but a weathered, century-old ERIE 8 that was passed down from generation to generation within my family, carrying the weight of countless meals and hunting camp memories. Little did I know then as a young boy that one pan would one day spark a love affair with the art and magic of cast iron cooking.

As I reconnected with cast iron over the past few years, I realized it’s more than cookware—it’s a tradition, a science, and a creative outlet rolled into one. With each meal prepared, every recipe perfected, and all the lessons learned, my passion for these incredible tools continued to grow. But something was missing: a single, reliable place where cast iron enthusiasts like me could find all the knowledge, resources, and inspiration we needed.

That’s why I created castironskilletguy.com. It’s a curated collection of the best tips, recipes, and insights from across the web, carefully selected to help you make the most of your cast iron journey. Whether you’re discovering the timeless charm of cast iron or pushing culinary boundaries, this site is here to guide, inspire, and celebrate the art of cast iron cooking.

So, welcome to castironskilletguy.com—where every skillet has a story, and every story is worth sharing.
