>>12161143
Stop pretending it's light either faggot, it's just not worth the effort when you can just use a stainless steel. Cast irons like I said are for posturing incels

>>12161171
>too much effort
>calls others incels

pfffft hahahahahahahaha

>>12161171
I'ts not light. But it's not as if that matters. The jobs you use iron pans for are those that don't require tossing, therefore who gives a shit if the pan is heavy or not.

>>you can just use a stainless steel
Stainless is great, but it's a different tool for a different job. You'd be a retard not to own both, as well as a nonstick.

Cast iron is for posturing, nothing more.
Insecure man-children who want to feel like a big boy just like to say they cook with cast-iron. It makes them feel tough.
Don't bully them, please. Their self-esteem is very fragile.

Can I have your pan?

I have stainless, cast irons, and a carbon steel for ASMR videos of sliding an egg around.

Damn straight. I mean I like them just fine, but they are deprecated by carbon steel pans. The day before I got my cabon steel last year is the last day I felt any desire to use my cast iron. Gave it away last month.

>>12161181
stop talking sense anon that's not what these threads are for

>>12161064
Stainless or more specifically Tri-Ply with an aluminum core, is actually better for searing meat. The idea that cast iron is better is an absolute joke. Cast iron is a weak conductor of heat and as such will have hot and cold spots.

Stainless with an aluminium core however is an extremely good conductor due to the core. Heats up extremely fast and gives a consistent
and perfect sear.

>>12162618
Yeah but you can completely mitigate that by beating up the pan in an oven

>>12163685
Really trying to make excuses aren't you?

>>12163691
No? Just helping you to understand that if you heat it up in an oven you can avoid the hot/cold spots

>>12162618
m8, cast iron has lower thermal conductivity but higher thermal mass.

it takes longer to heat the pan up to an even temp, but once youre there, you can sear without losing heat

>>12161471
rekt

>>12163740
So every time you sear a piece of meat you preheat your cast iron in the oven? The fuck sort of inefficient shit?

>>12163766
Yeah I put my pan on the burner actually and let it get hot and put olive oil and butter in the pan for about 16 minutes, and that gives my oven to heat up to 450.
Once we get it hot the. It's ready to season and start getting ready for the Veges to get a nice glaze

>>12163754
what m8? If there's no heat moving your meat is not cooking

>>12163782
m8...
the thermal mass allows for the steak to hit the hot pan and start searing immediately without the pan cooling as much from the room temperature meat

>>12163782
>not understanding physics
E=mcstupid lmao

>>12161171
>This person uses cast iron pans
>They must be an incel
A hearty and genuine kek was had whether you are trolling or not. Thank you.

>>12161064
Just sage

>>12163788
>pan cooling as much
that's all I was saying. Your pan has to lose thermal energy to your steak
>>12163789
are you rarted? if there is no heat flowing from your pan to your meat then it's not cooking

>>12163685
or simply by letting it sit on the slightly turned down burner for an aditional minute ...

>>12161072
And his opinion is 100% correct.
Cast iron is the biggest meme in cooking and provides an inferior sear.
>muh holds more heat
If you really are going to make that argument, you can have two stainless steal pans and move the steak from one to the other. That provides a super sear, far better than any fucking cast iron could, and easier to clean two stainless pans than one cast iron.

>>12164865
>if there is no heat flowing from your pan to your meat then it's not cooking
it may not flow quite as quickly but there is lot more stored in the pan. There is also the matter of the higher infrared emissivity of cast iron which is mostly responsible for the superior searing and browning properties of cast iron pans.

>>12165392
>you can have two stainless steal pans and move the steak from one to the other. That provides a super sear,

Are you seriously trying to be institutionalized?

>>12161064
look at this degenerate zoomer being BTFO by a fucking pan

>>12165392
So you have never cooked with cast arn or wut?

>>12163766
When using a cast Iron, yeah I do. It’s not that big a deal.

>>12165411
I lol’d

>>12165411
He's not wrong about two pans giving a better sear. That said, if you're going to go that angle, using 2 iron pans is even better than 2 stainless pans. And I doubt too many home cooks are serious enough about their craft to bother. The spergs on this board certainly aren't.

>>12161064

worst invention ever. only useful against zombies as a weapon

>>12165717
>>cant throw it in the dishwasher
lazy man detected

>>cant let it soak to make it easier to sink wash
why would you need to soak it at all? just give it a quick rinse and wipe it out. don't blame the pan if you fuck up and burn food to it.

Yay a 30 dollar life decision

>>12161436
>Baking.
Your the guy that pan fries a stake only to finish it in an oven.
Cast iron is not better then chromed steel for cooking. This is why it is not in wider use today.
Yes you can cook with cast iron, but that doesn't make it better.

>>12165717
>cant throw it in the dishwasher
Are your arms broken? Just clean by hand.
>cant let it soak to make it easier to sink wash
Seriously, are your arms literally broken? Unless you fuck up immensely, it's not hard to clean.
>regardless of meats fat content its gonna be crusted to fuck onto the pan
Goddamn, you really do fuck up. Part of cooking with cast iron is turning that crust - called 'fond' - into delicious sauces. Or just wiping it out before it cools and hardens, dumbass. Ever heard of actually taking care of your tools?

>>12166279
I have a 6 burner stove what am i supposed to do when all 3 of my SS pans are being used?

>>12166279
>Your the guy that pan fries a stake only to finish it in an oven.
No, I when I think "baking", I'm picturing cornbread. Roast beef. Roasted potatoes or root veggies, that kinda thing.

>Cast iron is not better then chromed steel for cooking.
I assume you mean carbon steel, not "chromed steel". We're talking about pans, not Harley Davidsons. They are different tools for different jobs. Carbon steel is fairly light. They are used for saute pans in busy kitchens because they are durable. Cast iron's greater weight makes it not as useful for saute, which is why you don't see it used as much in pro kitchens.

>>Yes you can cook with cast iron, but that doesn't make it better.
It's physical and thermal properties make it ideal for certain tasks. It's no different than other pans, really: different tools for different jobs.

cast iron for searing and baking
stainless for generating fond to make pan sauces
nonstick for delicate foods which stick easily.

>zoomers can't cook with a cast iron

clown world

>>12162618
i thought this was the fucking black hole picture for a second

>tfw i believe everything the op said, unironically, about the actual functionality of cast iron vs stainless steel

>tfw cast iron really is uncomfortably heavy
>tfw the grill on my porch is far better for searing and doesn't stink up my kitchen
>tfw there's literally almost nothing a cast iron can do that a stainless can't, and a lot more than stainless can do that a cast iron can't

haha, yeah...how about that faggot op

imagine being so poor you can only have one pan

>>12161064
there are things you want to cook at very high temps
some of these things are large, and will take on the quickest and most even colouration in cast iron
if this is unimportant to you, then ok
otherwise this is one of their principle utilities
ok?

>>12166482
>I assume you mean carbon steel, not "chromed steel".
How retarded do you have to be to not know that stainless steel is carbon steel with chromium added to it? No wonder you like cast iron, they're as retarded as you.

>>12165870

>>12164865
You're misunderstanding what thermal mass and thermal conductivity are. Temperature is a function of absorbed energy and heat capacity for its size. It's why air at 600 degrees doesn't do much to you, but 200-degree water causes sever damage and hurts like hell.

Materials with high thermal conductivity can absorb a lot of energy quickly. Materials with high thermal mass can store a lot per unit mass. High thermal conductivity improves heating characteristics, hence the prevalence of multi-ply pans. However, cast iron can hold far more energy per unit mass, which is part of why it does such a good job searing, and the layer of polymerized oil built on the surface is an extremely slippery surface that food does not stick to easily. I fry eggs and salmon in mine frequently. If your food is sticking you need to re-evaluate things.

>>12165717
>can't throw it in the dishwasher
Why would you? A blast while it's still hot, a quick scrub, and dry on the burner.
>can't let it soak to make it easier to wash
If you need to soak you fucked up.
>it's gonna be crusted to fuck onto the pan
How the fuck?

Fuck you, OP. They're not 'miraculous' but they are kinda nice to have.

>>12161285
Cook food in pan, serve food from pan, put leftovers in the fridge while still in the pan. Less dishes.

>>12169482
fewer

you people want to see some eggs cooked in cast iron?

>>12161064

I clean my cast iron in 30 seconds to a minute. What the fuck are you doing?

>>12169389
>You're misunderstanding what thermal mass and thermal conductivity are
sorry, I understand the concepts. I was being a troll with "sear without losing heat" because that would be impossible

>>12170109
no, not really. everybody knows you can cook eggs just fine in CI, even the trolls.
the real test of skill is cooking monkfish in cast iron.

>>12170168
ok, good. I already cooked my eggs. I don't have any of that ugly ass fish

You're trying to look cool and oldschool using the meme pan when theres cheaper, lighter more efficient alternatives for all uses the meme pan use to have except for hitting intruders with it.

>>12171190
A cast iron dutchie, a regular cast iron pan, and a fucking wok are all you need in the kitchen. Debate me.

>>12170168

No thanks. Other than grilling salmon and frying catfish I don't play that shit.

>>12171190

just use steel wool and soap, it's not fucking hard.

inb4 muh seasoning. shut the fuck up. use oil, and shit wont stick

>30 bucks down the drain
you should reevaluate your life choices if this is a hardship for you anon

>>12163754
> Cast Iron: 460 J/(kg-K)
> Stainless Steel: 460-500 J/(kg-K)

Basically the same. Cast iron's advantage is simply cause the pan is thicker and heavier. Not because cast iron inherently has higher specific heat capacity. Though emissivity might play into it as well.

>>12168275
>How retarded do you have to be to not know that stainless steel is carbon steel with chromium added to it? No wonder you like cast iron, they're as retarded as you.
Chrome steel is a different thing you retard. Stainless has nickel as well. Hence why stainless is referred to with two numbers like 18/8 or 18/10.

if you wanted a meme cooking contraption to flick around like an idiot you should have gotten a Wok.
>mmm this country gravy sure tastes like ... metal
>t. le sautee pan
sautee pans are bigger meme than cast iron unless you work in a restaurant as you can easily manage virtually anything with a pot and a skillet and if your skillet has a lid then you dont need an oven either.

It's a reddit meme like moka pots

I bought a cast iron pan for cooking over a camp fire, seasoned it home and decided to try cooking with it. After cooking a few different things with it I decided that I liked using it more than the other pans I have. To each their own I guess.

My moms cooking started tasting 100% better after she started using cast iron pans. It might be a fucking meme but I swear there's some truth in seasoning it.

>>12173247
truth, bacon and eggs, steak, fried food is way better out of cast iron.

>>12161064
>you can actually clean it without spending 20 minutes
But stainless steel pans are the ones hardest to clean because shit burns to them.
