You talk to anybody today and they're telling you about how great their cast iron pan is. I'm sick of this, they're fussy high maintenance items that just make everything you cook in it taste like the last twelve meals you had. Why in the gently caress do I need to "season" a cooking utensil? You know what is low maintenance, wipe-cleanable and lets you taste what you're actually cooking? Teflon.

This actually made me lol as I used Teflon pans for ages but got fed up as they couldn't sear a steak very well and bought a cast iron pan, and then proceeded to tell everyone it was a bitch to maintain but the steak is awesome. I had no idea I was part of a fad.

cast iron pans are not difficult to deal with unless you have an old rusty one. it takes like 10 minutes of active work to season a cast iron skillet and you basically only need to do that once in the pan's lifetime unless something drastic happens

enameled cast iron skillets and dutch ovens and stuff are the way to go imo. lodge makes some real good cheap ones so you dont have garbage teflon which scratches off and becomes p grody. ive had some of their stuff for years and it still looks almost brand new

Cast iron pans are actually pretty brittle and shouldn't be used to smash a bad guy flat-wise or stop a bullet. You use it edge on for sure

I don't even know why you'd ruin your food by cooking on a stove. Open fire + wood spit is where its at.

My mom always cooked on cast iron and now I do too. It's great because they're oven safe and you can get them rocket hot, much hotter than Teflon. Are they as non stick as Teflon? No, anyone who tells you otherwise is lying, but they're lower upkeep than you make out and last a lifetime.

Again the teflon is wipe cleanable. Source? You avoid using soap but can use both sponges, water and scouring pads. I clean mine after a messy meal or about as regularly as cleaning bedsheets.

you absolutely can use soap on a cast iron pan. i wash mine w/ soap p much every time i use it and the seasoning is still beautiful glossy black. if soap makes your seasoning come off you didn't do it right cast iron is literally easier to maintain than teflon, you can jab it with whatever cooking utensils you want without accidentally scraping carcinogenic flakes into your food

I wash mine with soap and water, dry it off over the stove and then oil it down. Maybe I'm doing it wrong

OXBALLS DOT COM posted:What more do you want? It would be nice if they didn't cause every kind of food to stick and form a crust, especially now that they cheap out and come with a rough non-polished cooking surface. The vintage ones that come with a mirror-smooth surface are exempt from this complaint of course It would be a lot more convenient if they could handle getting washed with soap like every other kitchen utensil...instead you gotta wash them separately and scrub with steel wool Finally they're heavy. As a buff goon I can handle them with ease but you can't really hang them like other pans, and many shelves/cabinets will buckle under their load. I would be willing to put up with all this if they offered copper-like conductivity but it takes a while for them to heat up and they're prone to hot-spots. Cast-iron is ok but there's little advantage to using it over any other kind of uncoated cooking material. just my thoughts though, who gives a poo poo really
