Stop making this shit thread again and again.

They are nonstick, though. Cast iron and stainless are different materials with different strengths and weaknesses. You can like one and not the other, it's okay.

I don't want my steak cooked, I want the outsides burned and the insides perfectly preserved. Cast iron wins.
>Who cares if a $20 pan lasts forever or 5 years?
I paid $17 for my 15" Amazon Basics cast iron pan 3 years ago.

Cast iron pans are already seasoned and require no cleaning or maintenance if you cook with lard at max heat.

Cast iron is durable, long lasting, handles high heat, can be used in the oven and is good for outdoor use like camping. Seasoning obsessed faggots and people filtered by cast iron are retards. But yeah, you do you senpai.

Oof

>Scientists from Newcastle University and Flinders University have now been able to measure how millions of tiny plastic particles potentially come off during cooking and in the wash as non-stick pots and pans gradually lose their coating.

>“The non-stick coating material Teflon is generally a family member of PFAS,” says University of Newcastle researcher Dr Cheng Fang.

>“Given the fact PFAS is a big concern, these Teflon microparticles in our food might be a health concern so needs investigating because we don’t know much about these emerging contaminants.”

I did. I don't want to eat on Teflon pans ever again.
I also just ordered some cast iron pan set on Amazon. 6", 8" and 10".

>>18567354
I make pizzas in it and I don't have any other pans that can do that. It's also good for making really messy breakfast scrambles because i can throw it in the oven at the end.

>>18567354
>And my nonstick pan comes nonstick out of the box.
non-stick pans are easily scratched and have worse browning performances

like in a barbecue? I don't want to start a BBQ every time I feel like having a steak
>or eaten at a restaurant
I don't want underpaid minorities cooking and handling my food

>>18567354
I pretty much only use cast iron. I even make tomato sauce in a cast iron dutch oven no problem. They're durable, you can use them on the stove top, on a grill, or in the oven. They can sear, they're non-stick, and easy to clean. Maintainence is easy once you get the hang of it.

The only issue is all the kitchen smoke. I don't have an exhaust fan in my old ass apartment, and I cook with cast irons a lot. So the greasy kitchen smoke settles in the dust and eventually a greasy sticky film coats everything which is very unpleasant.

>>18567354
>You didn't fall for the cast iron meme, did you?
Yes and I also own a dutch oven
>And my nonstick pan comes nonstick out of the box.
Yeah and you're a faggot
>Steak should be cooked on a grill or eaten at a restaurant.
Not if you're making steak Sauvignon or cooking in a snowstorm.
>Who cares if a $20 pan lasts forever or 5 years? There's literally no reason for anyone in 2022 to buy these things.
You're a good fucking goy you know that faggot. I hope you have a good day.

The entire "seasoning" cast iron pans meme is just that, a meme.

Get a cast iron pan
Plop some butter in it
Fry up whatever
DO NOT WASH THE PAN
Wipe it out with a paper towel
Wha-la, a "seasoned" cast iron pan

>>18567368

>>18574177
>DO NOT WASH THE PAN
>Wipe it out with a paper towel
Seasoning is a polymerized layer of oil that has practically bonded to the metal. If you have any cooking sheets or broiler pans that have "crud" stuck to them that won't come off in the sink, that is seasoning. Pic related.

Seasoning will not come off with dish soap or an ordinary scrub brush or sponge in the sink. The only way to remove it is with caustic, lye-containing soap, which Dawn or Palmolive does not have, or extremely abrasive brillo pads, which you wouldn't ordinarily use to clean up after cooking.

It also, contrary to popular believe, doesn't impart flavor to the food. It's as flavorless as any other polymer. The purpose of having it is mainly to prevent rust, prevent iron from flavoring acidic foods, and secondarily to make the pan nonstick.

I cook on a combo of cast iron, carbon steel, cast aluminum and standard metal pots. have gotten rid of all "teflon" pans as they got older. I don't have issues using all those different metals. it's great all of it goes from stove top to oven, no problem.

>>18574472
>and standard metal pots.
Oh, yes. Good old "standard metal." I once bought a car built from it.

back when wood fired table stoves were still used, people cleaned their stovetop and pans by scrubbing them with sand.
Now we have people talking about never cleaning their pans for reasons

>There's literally no reason for anyone in 2022 to buy these things.
Yeah because so many people throw them out because they're too stupid to google how to de-rust cast iron.

I legitimately do not own a single fork. There is no reason to own a fork when spoons and knives are available. A spoon, knife, or both can do everything a fork does. A fork is shit at spoon and knife jobs. I understand why medieval retards needed forks, but they are irrelevant in a modern kitchen.

Its not like stomach acid can break down plastic and absorb it into your blood stream, they just pass harmlessly through your system. Just like teflon implants or stomach balloons for dietary restrictions. Cast iron on the otherhand puts pieces of METAL into your food. You ever hear of a dietician or scientist recommending eating raw metal? Didn't think so. Then on top of that you're talking about polymerized fats and oils? You want regular bacon fat turning into plastic and trying to have this smug sense of self entitlement but you just look like a doofus posting that reaction image.

Contamination in your blood is filtered by your organs and they can accumulate in organs over time. For example, the “lipid nanoparticles,” which are essentially a kind of micro plastic, from the Covid vaccines were shown early on to accumulate in all sorts of organs, including your brain and, for women, their ovaries.

Iron is an essential mineral that your body can make use of, although most people do not need to supplement. I am also not sure how iron is leeching into food from a well-seasoned pan. As for the seasoning itself, you deemed the cooking oil sage enough to slather over your food. The polymerized form is highly stable, but think of it this way... If you really think you’re comfortable with Teflon in your food, but pan seasoning skeeves you out, would you feel comfortable slathering some 5w30 motor oil on your pan you’re going to cook corn bread in? Or would you rather use butter or olive oil?

>>18574177
>DO NOT WASH THE PAN
Your house smells like rancid pig slop and you've never cooked anything that tastes good in your entire life.

>>18579241
Butter of course, its a natural product. Olive oil isn't a natural product. Have you ever tried to squeeze and olive? no oil comes out! they have to add synthetic chemicals to extract it. Then they add cheaper oils like rapeseed oil, or canola oil or whatever. Its just like the packets of honey you get at the chicken place, its all corn syrup mixed with honey and a gold color added. Technically that honey packet has honey in it so its no false advertising. But back to your original point; cooking on iron is toxic, why do you think the pan is black? Nothing in this universe that is edible is black.

>Olive oil isn't a natural product. Have you ever tried to squeeze and olive? no oil comes out! they have to add synthetic chemicals to extract it.
i think too many teflon particles infected your brain and made you a downy forever. im sorry anon.

>>18579269
Olive oil comes from olives, which are a natura food. Rapeseed is also a plant from nature. The pan is black because some of the polymerized oil also carbonizes as you cook above certain temperatures. Iron is also not toxic.

>>18579276
No.

HEY EVERYBODY! THIS GUY THINKS SEED OILS ARE GOOD FOR YOU!

You just discredited your ideas on cast iron being good and non-stick being bad for you by liking seed oils.

>>18570557
>requires specific heat
Cast iron retains heat well which is excellent for cooking over a campfire because it helps to even out temperature changes across the surface from the inconsistent heat of the campfire.
>cleaning
I clean my cast iron at home using water and a scrubby sponge. So just bring a scrubby sponge and get water from a stream.
>and care
95% of supposedly required cast iron care is a fucking meme. You don't have to scrub it with sea salt and chainmail or rub it down with oil every time or whatever other bullshit you've read about.

>>18579382
Do you have a blue and yellow flag by your name on social media? Because I’m pretty sure you do.

>>18579385
The chainmail does help when you get a lot of food buildup after cooking some sugary foods, like bacon, which can leave dull spots on top of the slick seasoning. And I would say with meats, in general, whenever you end up with a fond on the pan surface, chainmail is the best way to get that off.

I cook everything in a big ass Wok.

>>18579345
The pan is black because its mother was a coalburner

>>18579589
I don't use social media. Did you get your "seed oil is good" information from a boomer on facebook?

>>18579605
Sure, there's a use for any given tool. I'm talking about those videos that demand the only way to care for cast iron is to scrub it with sea salt and chainmail, then dry out the pan, then heat the pan for 5 minutes until it's bone dry, then apply oil and heat it for 10 minutes to re-season it, and on and on for some hour long ritual every single time you use the pan for anything or else it will turn to rust and crack in half. Cast iron isn't actually that temperamental, care is dead simple but pretentious assholes on YouTube want people to think all this esoteric shit is an absolute necessity.

>>18579589
