Cast Iron Cornstick Pan

American South

A cast iron pan molded into individual corn-cob-shaped cavities, used specifically to bake cornbread batter into individual corn-cob-shaped "cornsticks" rather than a standard round or square cornbread loaf.

Material & Construction

Cast iron, molded with several narrow, ridged, corn-cob-shaped cavities.

Traditional Uses

Baking cornbread batter into individual cornstick portions, a specifically Southern presentation tradition for cornbread.

Modern Availability / Equivalents

Widely available through Southern and general American kitchenware suppliers; a standard cast iron skillet or muffin pan can substitute for cornbread generally, though without the specific cornstick shape.

Care & Maintenance

Standard cast iron seasoning and care.
