The Best Cookware to Use for Cooking Steaks on the Stove

For cooking a steak on the stove, there are two basic types of cookware, which are the best options to use: cast iron and stainless steel cookware. Cast iron is a type of non-stick cooking surface that is durable and can be used for a variety of foods. Cast iron cookware typically needs to be seasoned, and then uses a process called “dredging”, which is then repeated annually. If you don’t season your cast iron, you will eventually start to notice the cooking surface deteriorate. This will eventually lead to holes appearing in the cookware, and it will need to be replaced. Many people also cook with cast iron pans, including Martha Stewart and Alton Brown. Cast iron pans are often used for slow cooking, and can be used for searing meats, like steaks. Cast iron pans are also excellent for baking bread and browning meat. Steel pans work great for general cooking. Most steel cookware is designed to be used in an oven, but they are also great for cooking on the stovetop. Steel cookware is also relatively inexpensive and can be used over and over again. For example, you can cook meat in a stainless steel pan, then finish the meal in an oven to brown the meat.
