Cast iron cookware goes from stove top to oven to table
Beautiful cast iron cookware that goes from stove top to oven to table is a popular item in housewares stores today.
"The popularity of cast iron has been building for the last five years," says Chris Tracy of Calphalon. "Stores have been looking for a way to get fashion into cookware. Color is one way."
Colors can be seasonal, such as red heart-shaped cookware for Valentine's Day. Pumpkin-shaped orange and brown hues are popular in the fall.
"It opens up the possibilities," says Mr. Tracy regarding cookware design.
Last August, Calphalon joined the companies that have cast iron lines, including Le Crueset and .,. Mario Batali has some cast iron pieces, too, according to Mr. Tracy.
