When it comes to cooking, I swear by cast iron. Once you get the hang of it, there's almost no turning back. Still sceptical? Let me introduce you to 5 all-purpose cast iron saucepans that are sure to inspire you!
What worked back in our grandmothers' day still works today. I'm not an inveterate nostalgic. I know how to use non-stick saucepans. But the way cast iron stores heat is simply unbeatable. Warning to those who are reluctant!
The Swiss classic: Kuhn Rikon Black Star
Kuhn Rikon's Black Star aims to be versatile and indestructible. Correctly culled, it only needs to be rinsed in clean water and coated with a thin layer of olive oil. And because it's made entirely of iron, it's useful at home on the hob, camping on a gas stove or on the barbecue. In short, simple, sober and practical.
The exotic: the cast-iron wok
The secret to cooking with a wok? Heat. This must remain hot at all times. Ideally, you'd need a gas cooker or hob. The cast-iron wok stores heat, a sine qua non for trying your hand at Asian cooking.
The barbecue substitute: the Staub grill
Barbecuing on your balcony when you live in a huge apartment complex is often forbidden. To get your steaks, burgers and other vegetables seared just right every time, I recommend this special grill. Like the wok, preheating is a must!
The colourful French: Le Creuset cast iron cocottes
They've been indispensable for 100 years: they're Le Creuset's signature faitouts, made from enamelled cast iron for particularly easy maintenance. Available in a range of colours, these casseroles not only put their physical assets to good use in the kitchen, but for the eyes too.
The Scandinavian look: cocotte by Morsø
Simple design, versatile use: whether on the cooker, in the oven or on the grill, with a cocotte from Morsø, it's hard to go wrong. What's more, its lid can be used as a roasting dish. It kills two birds with one stone. It's fair to say that the Danes on the small island of Mors know what they're doing. The whole world has known about them for over 100 years.

Simon.Balissat@digitecgalaxus.chWhen I flew the family nest over 15 years ago, I suddenly had to cook for myself. But it wasn’t long until this necessity became a virtue. Today, rattling those pots and pans is a fundamental part of my life. I’m a true foodie and devour everything from junk food to star-awarded cuisine. Literally. I eat way too fast.
