Cast Iron

[Dice]

I think the reason most people don't use them is because the don't season them properly and it makes a mess their first time and give up. Once the pan is good and seasoned it's hard to beat the even heat distributing and flavor.

the reason most people don't use them now days is they are not needed at the drive through.......

And you can’t put them in the microwave….

Plus I think some people don't know about the smoke point on oils and smoke the place up. The key to good cast iron cooking is controlling the oil temp as well so it doesn't hit the smoke point. You can quick sear but not in high.

Got my mawmaw’s old cast iron skillets and use them frequently. Wanting to add some more but quality of the new stuff doesn’t seem nearly as good

We have Lodge, some older USA (wife grandmas) and some Korean mini pan. The mini does ok since I sanded the cooking surface years back. We also have a Walmart brand cast iron pan. Rough surface. We cook with them weekly
