Cast iron skillets are beloved in American kitchens — and for good reason. They’re tough, versatile, and can last for generations with the right care. Whether you’re searing a steak, baking cornbread, or frying up bacon, cast iron gets the job done beautifully.

In fact, cooking certain foods in a cast iron skillet can damage the seasoning, affect the flavor of your meals, or even lead to rust.

If you want your skillet to last — and to keep your food tasting great — here are the top foods and cooking habits to avoid.
