In this episode, Anne Byrn, one of my favorite cookbook authors, chats about her books, baking, and secrets to successful cast iron cooking.

Listeners will learn the benefits of cast iron cooking, how to clean and care for a skillet, and how to keep the finish shiny, black, and beautiful. We learn how to properly sear, how much oil we need, and how to store the skillet after use. Anne shares how she became known as the Cake Mix Doctor, her Thanksgiving menu, her new things, and much more.
