Listen nerd don't come in here with your science talk, some article online was talking about how much quicker iron as a surface transmits heat than Teflon and stainless steel which are the other two choices (other than copper which is not a good choice for a pan or skillet but should be considered for pots apprently).

I don't really get the science behind it all, I just know steaks in my Teflon pan struggle to get to medium rare because by the time you cook the outside enough the inside is also cooked, whereas the iron skillet I've got seared the poo poo out of those steaks and it was still basically raw on the inside demonstrating I in fact needed a lower heat than when cooking on Teflon.

Whatever the science is, cast iron > Teflon for searing meat.
or maybe your cast iron pan just has more mass

It's because the cast iron doesn't cool down as fast. The teflon pan cools down when the meat is applied to the pan which reduces the cooking speed at the surface of the meat, so by the time the outside is seared, the inside is cooked too

I don't need to know the science guys, I just know that it cooks steaks really well and you can best a bear to death with it. I cannot think of anything else you would want with a frying pan.

Here is how to clean a cast iron pan. Pour in some salt. Rub with wet paper towel until you've got all the food matter out or absorbed by the salt. Rinse with hot water.

Are nylon pan scrapers not as ubiquitous as I think they are?

I've known people who just put their cast iron in the dishwasher despite the fact that doing so is supposed to be ruinous and it seems like even that is fine as long as you aren't concerned about the surface being a perfectly even level of black all the way across. It might strip off too much if you are running it through the dishwasher every single day for some reason, but so would going apeshit with steel wool or basically any other method.

Edit: I'm talking about these things. They seem to have been common promotional freebies at some point, so it's not uncommon to see a cup with a shitload of these in a kitchen. My cleaning process for any pan is to give it a few swipes with one of these to get the crusties out then wipe it clean with a paper towel.

I clean my cast iron pan with a sponge and plastic scraper and those work fine.

Why would you even use a dishwasher at all unless you're cleaning like 5 people's dishes, you need to get the gunk off first and after that it takes literally 10 seconds to finish washing it.

And cast irons are huge so you could definitely be done cleaning it by the time it would take to awkwardly jam it in there.

that's my view about dishwashers in general but some people are paranoid about germs and want to have the dishes "sterilized"

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds
Cast iron pans aren't supposed to heat evenly unless you put them in the oven. You move stuff on and off the hotspot so you can add a sear without cooking the meat through.

Oh also you can put cast iron pans in the oven, making it extremely humorous to get them out when they're 500 degrees, weigh eight pounds, and are full of boiling slurry.

And when you cook tomatoes etc. instead of leaching toxic crap into your food, it leaches off tasty and beneficial iron.

It's actually the opposite, iron has much lower thermal conductivity than aluminum and copper which is why skillets are made of iron and can maintain their heat while cooking something and heatsinks are made out of aluminum and copper, because they can absorb and release heat incredibly quickly.

Also the whole pan isn't made out of teflon you loving goober

I think you are confusing conductivity and specific heat

unfun cast iron skillet facts:

if you cook swordfish in the skillet and then later use it to heat up pizza rolls in the oven, the pizza rolls will taste really weird

putting it in the microwave isn't as exciting as you'd think it would be

if you shoot them they don't make a cool sound, the bullet just punches a clean hole and nothing interesting happens

I never clean out my cast iron but it only gets used for meats and a couple special dishes, maybe once a week tops. My current house I'm renting has the most effective hood vent thingy over the oven I've ever seen. So I literally just crank the oven all the way up and burn out the remains until a quick couple wipes with paper towel does the trick. I also immediately wipe it with a dry paper towel when everything is still hot and liquid greasy. I'm not afraid of death.

I just use Teflon for eggs and stainless steel for everything else.
I have a cast iron and it's okay but it's dumb to use it on my glasstop electric stove, so I just occasionally use it on the grill.
