Today we are discussing a product that people get very passionate about — and even more opinionated about: cast-iron cookware. Jonathan is joined by Blister senior bike editor, Simon Stewart, who has been using cast-iron cookware for more than twenty years, but is now on a quest to see if the fancier, more expensive options out there are better than their cheaper counterparts. We also discuss the notion of ‘elevating the everyday’; cast-iron cookware as heirlooms; the introduction of new tech; the return of old tech; and more.RELATED LINKSCheck out the Blister Craft CollectiveBecome a BLISTER+ MemberTOPICS & TIMES:Why are we talking about cast iron cookware (2:57)Defining "Nicer" (9:26)Amatuer Hour PA (13:25)Price Ranges (15:28)Rape Seed Oil Sanding (21:20)Why Cast Iron and the Obsession (23:53)Current Landscape of Cast Iron (27:57)SEE OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister CinematicBikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30Blister PodcastOff The Couch Hosted on Acast.
