Buy Good Cast Iron Cookware
There are two types of Cast Iron cookware.
The first class of cast iron cookware is made by pouring liquid hot iron into a mold. They can be identified by having a generally rough appearance in the cooking area.
The second class of cast iron is made the same way, however a second step of machining out the rough surface (to make a generally smooth or less-rough) cooking area. This second class of cast iron is relatively rare (because it was much more expensive to make), and are apparently no longer made or are very difficult to find. This second class of smooth cast iron is far superior for cooking and cleaning.
Most survivalists will have to start with the first class of cast iron, which is fully functional (but is harder to clean). Search garage sales and flea markets for the second class of cast iron (or as a cheap source for the first class of cast iron).
