Cast iron

If, during a spring-cleaning spree, you come across an old cast iron griddle that belonged to your mother or grandmother, please don't throw it away. As long as it has no cracks or nicks, you can clean it, and the effort will be worthwhile. Trust us, cast iron is top-grade cookware material because, not only does it heat evenly and consistently, cast iron is cheap and will last a lifetime with proper care. We will look at the care aspect a little later, but first, why cast iron cookware?

Iron in food

Iron is found in two forms in the foods that we eat: heme iron from animal tissues (meats), which is readily absorbed by our bodies, and non-heme iron which is primarily the type of iron found in vegetables. Non-heme iron isn't absorbed ad readily ad heme iron - it depends on the body's needs. Vitamin C eaten with a meal will help the absorption of non-heme iron. Tea, coffee, red wine, or an excess of zinc, manganese, or calcium can decrease its absorption.

Flat iron curling hair

We have all seen people who are not salon professionals with bouncy, beautiful curls. They claim that they used a flat iron to create them. It’s hard to believe that someone who isn’t a professional hairdresser can create curls with a flat iron. We wanted to put some truth to the claim that it really is possible for someone to create curls with a flat iron at home.

We spoke with Richard BenBassett, a beauty industry veteran and flat iron aficionado from Exceon American Beauty Supply, the maker of Sedu and Solia flat irons, to explain if this is really true or just an urban beauty legend. BenBassett says that anyone can achieve that carefree curly look using a flat iron; all it takes is a little practice, patience, and the right tools.
