Back to the Future: Mastering Cast Iron & Carbon Steel Cookware (Southwest)


Adult Enrichment / Cooking -
Adult Enrichment Spring 2025

Minnesota passed a statute in the last legislative session outlawing the sale of “deliberately” coated cookware (among other things). What this means to you as a cook is that the days of lightweight nonstick cookware are numbered. Join us for a 3-hour session of learning the superior cooking properties and ease of cleaning and maintaining cast iron, carbon steel, and steel-clad aluminum. You’ll cook in them and discover how terrific these much older, traditional pans cook! Bring closed containers for taking home your leftovers. 

If class is full, please enroll for the waitlist. We will contact you if a space becomes available or we are able to add additional sections.
