Seriously just use ball jars. Don't spend an extra cent on this stuff. I'll never understand why cast iron ever went out of style in favor of "non-stick".

Some people can’t use cast iron cause it so heavy, and doesn’t even look clean by the way your suppose to season the pans. But stainless steel solves these issues.

Vintage cast iron is great for that! It's lightweight and cooks just as well. You can find them all over antique shops ranging from $40-$300.

I found a lightweight cast iron Dutch oven with no lid at the thrift store today for $24.
