Cast Iron Skillet Cozies


Many people do not know the health benefits of cooking in cast iron pans and or skillets. Making your meals in cast iron pans will increase your dietary source of iron. Iron is a vital mineral, and is an essential factor in the bodies ability to efficiently circulate oxygen through the blood stream. People lose iron through perspiration. It is estimated that 60% to 70 % of Americans do not get enough iron. Tiredness and headache may be caused by low levels of iron in the blood steam causing inadequate oxygen circulation.

Cast iron heats up evenly around the pan this includes the handle. Take care when grabbing the handle of your cast iron pan it can get very hot. Weather it's on the stove top or hot out of the oven you will need to use a pot holder to protect your hands from getting burned. My Cast Iron Skillet Cozies will protect your hands. I make them using therma~flec and insul~bright on the inside giving you the extra protection you need. On the outside of my skillet cozies I use cotton fabric which also benefits you because I can make them to match your kitchen theme or color.
