Got a gift voucher for a fancy kitchen supply place and I am gonna take the plunge and throw away my shitty non-stick junk pan and buy a "good" one.Should I walk the path of the Cast Iron autist or the Stainless Steel schizo?
>>21974576It behooves you to get Bothe
>>21974576They're both good choices, just different cooking styles so it really comes down to personal preference. If you have the ability to cook with both and see which one you prefer, that would really be best. But generally, cast iron is slightly better at some specific things like searing meat and baking, it's also non-stick. Stainless steel is more versatile and less maintenance. If I had to pick one I'd go stainless for its versatility.
>>21974576Should have both
>>21974576yes
Walk the path of the copper chad
Triple clad stainless.. although if you're a silverfag consider having your stack cast into a pan.
>>21974576Stainless is fine, you get it up to temp and everything is nonstick.
>>21974690Sear isn't as good and you can't bake with it though.
>>21974701you can bake with it thothey're both great, really have both
>>21974576If you've got a gift voucher, pay the difference and get a nice stainless pan, don't waste it on a non-stick that will eventually become trash.
if I were to pick one if go with the cast iron, but you want both and a nonstick too
>>21974576Are you saying you only have one pan and know so little about cooking you can't conceive of any situation where having a non-stick pan in addition to a stainless or cast-iron would be useful?
>>21974940>sandwich base
>>21975150It's to create buzz and have people bump the thread.It's the same when someone posts an image and then mentions the object in the image but it's the wrong thing.
>>21975150What can non-stick do that stainless can't?>inb4 "poison you and your family"
>>21975196it's really silly how much you guys latch on to stainless steel pans as if using them makes you a pronothing is as nonstick as a nonstick pan
>>21974940That's a cool set up
>>21975306Tbh I think it's because they're harder to fuck up and therefore last longer
>>21974576If you make a lot of tomato sauces and pasta get the stainless steel, if you make a lot of steak and eggs get cast iron
>>21975310Every type has pros and cons, durability if a big negative with nonstickAnons pretending a stainless steel pan is just as nonstick and it's all a skill issue are retarded
>>21975318Totally fairI’m too retarded to maintain a nonstick, fucked up two in 3 years and I’m never buying another one lmaoMy stainless and cast irons are pushing 11yrs
>>21975309Not really you can't even put those pans in the oven
>>21975534> set upI’m just talking about the pans and lid displayCan nonstick go in the oven? Man, that’s another con desu
>>21975581I only use pans that can go in the oven And I don't cook in fuckin synthetic plastic, son
>>21974576Stainless steel is going to be more versatile and less maintenance. If you can only get one, get the stainless steel.
>>21975627Delusional
>>21975630>cast iron skillets is my personality
>>21974576Iron is just unhealthy unless you bleed every month. There's a reason why stainless pans require less maintenance: they react less to water aka they don't rust when you throw in a watery supermarket tomato. Cast iron is for people who can't cook.
>>21975630disgusting
>>21975637Delusional>>21975657What, you don't like Butter, dude?
>>21975651Ok but stainless steel sucks for eggies, and it warps if you heat it on HIGH when it's emptyHorses for courses or whatever the fella says
>>21975651Do you think that because you never figured out how to use one?
>>21975306He only shills synthetic plastic because cooklets prefer them lol
i'm a complete beginner..so here my question:why is nobody using ceramic pans?I read only advice about cast iron or stainless steel until now. Is a ceramic coated pan not worth it?
>>21975687It's a gimmick for cooklets who get "aggro" about food sticking, to use the ebonics of our times
>>21975690ah..okaythx for the info
>>21974576>Should I walk the path of the Cast Iron autist or the Stainless Steel schizo?My wife gave me a small enameled cast iron simmering pot. It's the perfect size for making two egg omelets and it's the only type of pan I've ever used that eggs won't stick to. Don't have to oil the pan at all.It's fucking awesome.For making sauces, pan-frying, browning meat I use carbon steel. For searing steaks or making pancakes I use cast iron. For boiling I use stainless.
>>21975718Stainless is better than carbon steel for soces and pan-fryingCast Iron is better for browning meatCarbon Steel is better for omelettes
>>21975690"Aggro" is not Ebonics (now called AAVE), sounds more like "appeal to the gamer demographic" speak. I think your racism is getting the better of your intelligent thought proccesses, anon.
>>21975856For real bruhI'm just keepin it factualOn gods It's an easy mistake to make How you tryna b all extra gettin aggro out here lolbmaooo0o0o0o
>>21975868Kek
>>21975868>percieved to have similarities>may sound similar toDegenerate racist with kindergarten reading comprehension relying on AI to read for them. I have no idea why I bothered. I thought you were just ignorant, now I see you are arrogant. I should have, and will now, just shut the fuck up.
>>21975690>"intense technical process"Just heat the pan properly and let the meat sear and release naturally. There is literally nothing else to it. Just control your fucking heat. God people are such fucking retards, I swear...
>>21975687They’re too expensive and can also be fucked up relatively easy
>>21975957If it walks like a duck and tastes like a duck
