cast iron pans are cheap in the sense of their extteme value for the money. it's going to last you a lifetime and after
you will spend a lot more on stupid goypans in the end
a good cast iron is only like 40$ and will last you a life time
i bought a 500$ rice cooker and i've had it for over a decade and it doesn't look like it's aged a day
getting quality items are worth the price, that being said, getting overly expensive items that are pricey for no reason isn't
>$2
Disingenuous argument. This is IKEA's cookware section sorted by price. The cheapest shitty skillet is $6. A preseasoned 10" or 12" Lodge CI skillet is only $25 and will last literally forever.
>will last literally forever.
this is by far the best argument, especially if you like to cook. Using it regularly, a cast iron and/or carbon steel (I have one of each) is just as if not more nonstick than a teflon pan, requires next to no effort to clean, and less than two minutes to reseason afterwards. And it will last and last and last until the time of your children's children's children and beyond.
You're bullshitting about prices here.
Lodge is cheap, but it's not that cheap. The store near me that sells the large one I have for $110 for the 12" frying skillet (was $60 when I bought it) and the 6.5" one is $40 normally and it's on sale for $25 right now.
Are you buying them direct from the factory gift shop?
Yeah, because dumbfucks like you are unable to ignore someone screaming in your face "I am trolling. This message is designed to make you angry. Please reply to me."
I'm disabled btw, and I spend my evenings sending care packages to Israeli children and tending to my wicca shrine while praying for the continued success of treasured Hollywood blockbusters like my favorite trilogy, the Star wars sequels.

Looks like you forgot to take your Tourettes Syndrome meds this morning sweetie.
But I'm confused, I own no nonstick pans. I cooked some steaks on a cast iron just earlier today, is that supposed to mean I'm a leftie hipster or MAGA "rightoid"? Which demographic am I supposed to have disdain for today on Culinaly Culinaly?
I use stainless steel, like every 5 star restaurant and professional chef for the last 100 years.
>The only two frying pans are nonstick and cast iron
Serious question to cast iron diehards, what's the problem with stainless steel really? "Sometimes things stick" Yeah I want it to, it's called a fond and it's the base of every sauce worth eating, and you're only going to have things stick if you're burning shit like an animal. Everyone hypes up the "seasoning" of a cast iron pan, but what's the real value of that? It's pure theater.
If you inherit a cast iron pan from your grandma, then absolutely keep it and take care of it. Tradition is important and maintaining connections to the important people in your life always has value. But if you're just buying a pan for home use at the store, cast iron is such a meme.
who are you quoting? no one who loves cast iron has a problem with stainless steel. I've never met a cast iron person who didn't love stainless steel or long acidic cooks. stop trying to poison the well, no more brother wars, everyone should be against the nonstick israelite.
it's the opposite actually. good 3-ply (or 7-ply) stainless steel pans have the most even heat distribution, it's not something cast iron can match no matter how expensive it is.
heat retention is where cast iron shines because those things are built like tanks while most stainless steel pans are 'only' about 3mm thick. from what I know there is only one exception with the demeyere proline that is over 5mm thick so it combines all benefits of cast iron except for the seasoned non stick surface but you can still make perfect sauces obviously
Stainless steel is probably fine, I didn't think of it.
I did try frying eggs on SS once and it was a disaster. No, I wasn't "burning shit like an animal", I simply didn't go out of my way to do research, I forget it was years ago, in hindsight now that I've learned about the Leidenfrost effect the pan was probably too cold. > Everyone hypes up the "seasoning"
CI pans come preseasoned. I don't understand what the big deal is either. Food rarely sticks, and if it does it comes off easily with a moment of scrubbing.
I have a stainless steel sauce pan i use for boiling things.
>Serious question to cast iron diehards, what's the problem with stainless steel really?

Stainless steel pans are for steers and queers, and I've never met a stainless steel pan user that looked like a steer.
I can bake biscuits in a cast iron skillet, then use the same, still hot skillet to fry up some sausage for the biscuits. Can't do that in stainless steel. Though I do use stainless for anything that has super acidic ingredients to spare my seasoning.
Stainless steel is great for stew pots, and stainless steel frying pans are great for anything with tomato or citrus in it.
The appeal of cast iron is impossible to quantify to someone who doesn't understand cooking with SOVL.
Humbly based, niggas still seethin'. You just can't help some fools.
who are you quoting? no one who loves cast iron has a problem with stainless steel. I've never met a cast iron person who didn't love stainless steel or long acidic cooks. stop trying to poison the well, no more brother wars, everyone should be against the nonstick israelite.
This guy is based too, although a bit eager to call the SS officer a well poisoner.
Everyone else is mega gay cringe. I rest my case, your majesty.
Stainless are fine but sometimes a dish requires you to cook shit then throw it in the oven. Also making eggs is a lot easier and making bacon is 100x more comfy on a cast iron.
why is a 'real man' buying multiple cast iron pans? what's wrong with having one good one? let me guess, you need multiple options based on how heavy your period is that day, you fucking woman
The weight of a cast iron pan only bothered me when I was like 14. If you're an adult and the weight is an issue then you're actually a little bitch lol
you can buy a brand new lodge for like $15 that will last 100s of years, even if you buy a premium new age cast iron for $200 you're still buying a tool that you will use multiple times a day and will last more lifetimes than we'll ever be able to live. the value is actually insane no matter which one you decide to get.
This was my life until college. It really sucks when you like everyone else more than they like you. It still happens to me sometimes where a friendgroup will do something without inviting me but those are usually tertiary friendships/borderline acquaintances

Time issue you nagger. If we’re roleplaying as multimillionaire internet tough guys, then I have no time to use a cast iron pan because I’m too busy driving my Bugatti and banging hot chicks. Or, the more likely scenario of not wanting to waste 1/24th of the day taking care of some stupid fucking pan that heats food all the same.
>They are more expensive >They take more effort to clean than a regular pan
Neither is true. Lodge cast iron cookware is quite cheap and will do just fine. A skillet costs around 15$ to $20. Cleaning is also not a big deal, assuming you didn't burn the food on. Just soak for a bit in hot soapy water, scrub, then dry on the stove and wipe with a layer of oil.
>They are heavier
and you can throw them in the oven >They are more expensive
No they're like 15 dollars at wallmart >They take more effort to clean than a regular pan
No, I have never needed to pull out steel wool for my cast iron or soak it over night.
You know you are a pleb when you don't understand that it is more important to season your pan than it is to season your food.
There really is no point in adding salt to your food if there is already a thick layer of lawry's seasoned salt baked into your cast iron pan.
My grandmother had Lou Gehrig's Disease and could still swing a cast iron skillet. Until she couldn't, that is, but she died not too long after that. I wouldn't wish ALS on anybody, but I saw pic related and laughed my ass off at the little cartoon old fart keeling over dead.
I can feel granny's cast iron skillet speeding toward my temple from the great beyond.

Cast iron is dirt cheap, you can buy a lodge for $15 dollars and it will last you a lifetime. Also it's the one tool that gets better with age instead of worse.
After getting an enameled dutch oven I'm considering buying an enameled cast iron skillet
>one tool that gets better with age instead of worse

Make your own ghee, two pounds unsalted butter yields two pints ghee. Use ghee for cooking, sure, but it is the best substance for curing/seasoning non--enameled cast iron bar none.
My 8qt enamel coated dutch ovens are my go-to's for everything except dutch baby treats, crisped potaoes, omlets, searing and bacon.
Perfect bacon every time in a cast iron skillet: cold oven and skillet, dump bacon and separate, install filled skillet, turn heat to 375F, check through glass after 20 min. until you see/smell *your* preferred perfect bacon. Perfect always.
Hold on, I literally never do my dishes, the frying pan just sits on my stove and never moves. Are you saying that I could just get a cast iron pan and have some sort of benefit with no drawbacks?
I never clean my cast iron pan. I just give it a scrape, drop a little neutral oil on it and rest it in the warm oven when I’m done cooking. Next time I use it I rub some coarse salt in it while it’s heating and wipe it out with a rag.
Pans are tools and if you don’t know how to use different tools you can’t say one is better than any other. There’s a lot of mediocre cooks talking shit in this thread.
>I DONT CLEAN
Great, and all your food tastes of oxidized fat.
why do you even go that far? i wipe it clean with a paper towel right after cooking, rinsing it with water if needed
the seasoning maintains from actually cooking with it, you don't need to obsess over it
Basic maintenance is not going far. The whole process takes less than a minute on either end of food going into or out of the pan.
why do you even go that far? i wipe it clean with a paper towel right after cooking, rinsing it with water if needed

not me. i need my unitasker, a stainless steel pan. pour a tablespoon of oil, waste several tablespoons of fine salt, scrub the fuck out of it with a paper towel until the salt turns grey. wipe out, do it again. wipe out, it's ready for a month.
I have no idea what cookware is safe to use.
I wanted to get away from teflon so I bought ceramic, but then I read that ceramic is potentially unsafe.
Now I'm thinking Stainless Steel but it's not non-stick and apparently it can leech nickel and chromium.
And Cast Iron is a bitch to use so I'm never going to touch it.
>oh no my skillet is freaking heavy ;_;
not an argument holy shit
>more expensive
Sure I guess. But $20 for a skillet isn't a deal breaker for me.
>can't ever clean it
not true but a seasoned pan (even just the factory seasoning) can be cleaned with no ill effects as long as you don't literally soak it overnight or wash in the dishwasher which you aren't supposed to do with non-stick either.
I guess they have more upkeep AFTER you clean them but none of it is hard to do. Just clean it, let it air dry upside down and then thin coat with oil. But you only have to do all that if you don't cook with it regularly. If you're using the fucking thing every day it's not as important to do the reoiling.
>”You don’t want to lug around a 10lb piece of cookware in the kitchen?” >”Looks like you’re a soy drinking, emaciated homosexual!”
Are you per chance wearing a funny hat and overalls?
I recently went to an estate sale of a 95 year old woman who had died. She still had cast iron cookware everywhere. You are weaker than a 95 year old granny.
lmao do you retards actually keep the pan dirty
fucking lazy ass amerilards cant even clean the shit they cook with they have to make up some mumbo jumbo about it
tards dont know how to clean cast iron pans
its easy just pour some salt in the pan a splash of oil let it warm up and rub a rag or paper towel around and then wipe it out dry
cast iron isn't more expensive
Than a $2 IKEA 'ceramic' pan?
It's pretty damn hard to find a cheap cast iron pan, it's easy to find ludicrously cheap others.

I bought a 12 inch Lodge skillet from my Wal-Mart 2 weeks ago for 25$.
I bought mine from Home Depot for $24.99 several years ago because my work gave me a $25 gift card in a free raffle.
A 12" Lodge is $29.99 on Amazon right now.

This is a myth because soap used to contain the which it no longer does, you can clean it with dawn.

>one tool that gets better with age instead of worse
Wait till you experience the joy of cooking in a well-used, 20-odd year old stainless steel skillet.

starbuck is not related
There is no joy I still use my 10$ cast iron pan more than my 100$ all clad pan

Do Americans really?
Don't you have a trench you're supposed to be shitting yourself in?
No. It's from the so-called Old Country.
Also, not lost on me that the punchline is that Boris is selling some shit that doesn't work.
but it is heavy, and you can hit them with it
So are rocks.
What about carbon steel pans?
>its bad because its heavy
wrist status: limp as a soggy noodle
Why can't you chucklefucks just get enameled?
>chucklefucks
it's the dark souls of pans
artificial difficulty
Make your own ghee, two pounds unsalted butter yields two pints ghee. Use ghee for cooking, sure, but it is the best substance for curing/seasoning non--enameled cast iron bar none.
My 8qt enamel coated dutch ovens are my go-to's for everything except dutch baby treats, crisped potaoes, omlets, searing and bacon.
Perfect bacon every time in a cast iron skillet: cold oven and skillet, dump bacon and separate, install filled skillet, turn heat to 375F, check through glass after 20 min. until you see/smell *your* preferred perfect bacon. Perfect always.
Hold on, I literally never do my dishes, the frying pan just sits on my stove and never moves. Are you saying that I could just get a cast iron pan and have some sort of benefit with no drawbacks?
I never clean my cast iron pan. I just give it a scrape, drop a little neutral oil on it and rest it in the warm oven when I’m done cooking. Next time I use it I rub some coarse salt in it while it’s heating and wipe it out with a rag.
Pans are tools and if you don’t know how to use different tools you can’t say one is better than any other. There’s a lot of mediocre cooks talking shit in this thread.
scraping it and wiping it with a rag is cleaning you dumb motherfucker. I DONT CLEAN.
if this is the calibre of cast iron users, I'm better off sticking with my mystery metal pan that I found in a ditch
Post kitchen/room/car PLEASE
NTA but do you want herpes? This is how you get digital herpes
>I DONT CLEAN
Great, and all your food tastes of oxidized fat.
Basic maintenance is not going far. The whole process takes less than a minute on either end of food going into or out of the pan.
>all your food tastes of oxidized fat.
that's all cast iron pans thoughever
the inbred hicks that use them claim it's a super flavor
why do you even go that far? i wipe it clean with a paper towel right after cooking, rinsing it with water if needed
the seasoning maintains from actually cooking with it, you don't need to obsess over it
I use cast iron, stainless steel and non-stick for different things.
not me. i need my unitasker, a stainless steel pan. pour a tablespoon of oil, waste several tablespoons of fine salt, scrub the fuck out of it with a paper towel until the salt turns grey. wipe out, do it again. wipe out, it's ready for a month.
>cast-iron is the exact same as other pans
>the exact same
obvious bait
I have no idea what cookware is safe to use.
I wanted to get away from teflon so I bought ceramic, but then I read that ceramic is potentially unsafe.
Now I'm thinking Stainless Steel but it's not non-stick and apparently it can leech nickel and chromium.
And Cast Iron is a bitch to use so I'm never going to touch it.
>oh no my skillet is freaking heavy ;_;
not an argument holy shit
>more expensive
Sure I guess. But $20 for a skillet isn't a deal breaker for me.
>can't ever clean it
not true but a seasoned pan (even just the factory seasoning) can be cleaned with no ill effects as long as you don't literally soak it overnight or wash in the dishwasher which you aren't supposed to do with non-stick either.
I guess they have more upkeep AFTER you clean them but none of it is hard to do. Just clean it, let it air dry upside down and then thin coat with oil. But you only have to do all that if you don't cook with it regularly. If you're using the fucking thing every day it's not as important to do the reoiling.
LOL a pan being too heavy is absolutely an argument. Do you also have 50lb fire doors installed in your house because they’re safer?
>t.
>”You don’t want to lug around a 10lb piece of cookware in the kitchen?”
>”Looks like you’re a soy drinking, emaciated homosexual!”
Are you per chance wearing a funny hat and overalls?
I recently went to an estate sale of a 95 year old woman who had died. She still had cast iron cookware everywhere. You are weaker than a 95 year old granny.
how do you think she died to death?
Cholesterol. Another victim of cast iron.
If you cook in a sodium metal pan your meal always comes out perfectly salted.
lmao do you retards actually keep the pan dirty
fucking lazy ass amerilards cant even clean the shit they cook with they have to make up some mumbo jumbo about it
cast ironers don't even know about the hand flip motions that pro chefs do because they just leave the pan sitting the whole time
This. The chef in the restaurant I work at is constantly pushing the pans back and forth or flinging stuff over itself in the pan
You can practically smell the soy.
Wonder if his wife’s son approves?
tards dont know how to clean cast iron pans
its easy just pour some salt in the pan a splash of oil let it warm up and rub a rag or paper towel around and then wipe it out dry
s0yg0y with a "wife radicalized by STEM". probably too limp wristed to lift a 4-inch lodge logic mini-omellete pan.
> can't ever clean it
ngmi
lmao at all these seething baconbeard narwhal redditors
cast iron fucking sucks and you are a cooklet if you pretend to like it
I want to try one but there's no local stores nearby to buy them cheap. I'd have to buy one online. Does the brand matter, can I just get cheapest one
just have a nice day
Oh you're right. Why didn't I think of that earlier, thanks
It works for my purposes. Fuck do I care who agrees with me or not on the internet? Fuck OP and this thread of shit.
