anyone else feel for this meme? my stainless steel pan does literally the exact same shit plus you can put it in the dishwasher
>>21630569No, I knew it was beyond my energy investment. I'm not entirely lazy. I just pick and choose my battles.
>>21630569I only keep mine for baking certain breads
>>21630569It doesn't leech PFAS on your food like ceramic
>>21630569Cheaper and better than stainless steel. It's slightly more effort with cleaning it but you can be rougher with it as well so it pays off.I use mine for all meat n main dish purposes and stainless for smaller stuff and sauces
Got a "premium cast iron" for Christmas. They paid too much for it, and I don't use it because it's more work. It's also a weird one with the ridges on the bottom, very odd to use.
>>21630569they're not interchangeable.steel is a pretty good conductor of heat, cast-iron is not. cast-iron absorbs heat & then radiates it outward.learn how to use both properly & you will never be frustrated with the outcome.
>>21630627He said stainless steel
I recently got a small stainless steel pan and for some weird reason all the stickiness problems went out of the window. Apparently the smaller size is helpful for the leidenfrost effect. Even at LOW/MID temps!
>>21630569i use mine solely on the grill with the exception of making cornbread.
>>21630569but the cast iron can block bullets and can use it as a weapon.
>>21630569>canola fucking oil poison seasoningUseful for heat retention, ultimately niche chuckwagon bullshit if you're not doing oven shit. Season it with non-GMO non-trash oil ffs.
>>21630569>stainless steel does the sameIt undeniably does not.
I bought one to make pan pizza a few months ago. Took me a while to get used to it but now I use it 3-5 times a week.
>>21630627Ceramic doesn't do that either. Teflon isn't ceramic.>>21630569Yeah. I wanted to like cast iron. I just don't. I do however really like carbon steel pans.
>>21630569I have multiple pans and you're just flat wrong. The difference is only in certain things like a simple Steak. But if you don't use it right then you wouldn't understand the difference. It's merely heat retention and the ability for even distribution.
>>21630705OP specifically said stainless steel. Stainless steel is a significantly worse conductor of heat than cast iron.
I didn't understand the criticism that cast iron is harder or something. I cook eggs in mine all the time. After you're done, just wipe it down. It takes more time to scrub a steel pan than it does my cast iron.
>>21630569iron has better smash
i seasoned my cast iron once or twice and then never again because fuck that. i use it, clean it, and thats it.
>>21631212yeah, that's how seasoning works dork.
>>21631212>I use this the same way everyone else does because fuck that
>>21631213erm... oh... and im not a dork thank you very much.
