if cast iron is just as non stick if not more than the dangerous chemicals why does anyone use itentry barrier for low iq home cooks?
>>22153093People make it more of a pain to deal with than it actually is.I have a cast iron pan, the coating is so thick, I just scrub it like I do every other pan.
It is certainly not as non-stick as Teflon.
>>22153093“Non stick” does not exist. It is an illusion. There are some options that are less sticky but ultimately having your pan stick is not a material issue but a skill issue, due to oil and heat.The BEST pans are stainless steel, which have their own quality gradient. The medium grade “all clad” are decent enough for any cook and last a lifetime with proper careCast irons are not bad but have pros and cons. A pro is heat retention. Also you do not need to be super gay with cast iron. I wash mine with soap when it needs it and don’t autistically season and they are fine. Anyone who claims they can crack an egg onto the pan with nothing on it and have nothing stick is lying, and you don’t need to do an hour long seasoning ritual to have a working pan. It’s fucking iron, it’s meant to get beat up a littlePans treated with teflon/other PFAs are a last resort. I’m not super autisitc about this, I’ll use one sometimes, but they also are generally just cheaper quality than other pans, and I’m not incredibly fond of using too much because of what they are coated with. Tldr stop being gay about pans, stainless steel is still the best. Learn how to heat the pan and apply oil
>>22153180This is a sensible post. What pants do you recommend?
It's good enough for me, and whether or not the non-stick options leech dangerous chemicals (they do) they still get damaged too easily, and you have to use those plastic implements which also leech, or wooden ones where you can't always do the job like you want to do it.I can take a steel spatula and whale on my cast iron pan while making fried rice, you can't DO that with anything else but carbon steel. It's necessary, too, or you get clumpy sad fried rice. See a piece of whatever it is that you didn't chop small enough in a rush? With cast iron I can take my steel spatula and just CUT IT RIGHT THERE IN THE PAN. Try that with your non-stick, lol.
the heat of the pan cooks the rice

>>22153093Interesting question. I think Jesus said it pretty well when he referenced the difference between being in this world, and being of this world.
>>22153315could you elaborate for us dummies
>>22153315>the difference between being in this world, and being of this world.
>>22153318If you don't adhere to the idea that life is greater than this stupid little world then you are willing to accept all the stupid shit this stupid little world offers.
>>22153180I hard disagree, I have some "decent" stainless pans with the copper layer bullshit and I absolutely hate them. Even the korean market spun aluminium nonsense I got for like 5$ does a better job
>>22153323so are you saying the teflon people have given up and don't care
>>22153329Yeh, although they would never admit it because the peak idea of their existence is having a private jet and a real estate portfolio. They curiously ignore the fact they are going to die and their idea of life is no better than that of an animal. Which is why people who excel at this primitive idea of life are generally miserable.
>>22153093>if cast iron is just as non stick if not more than the dangerous chemicals why does anyone use itIt's not. People who claim it is are liars.>>22153180>The BEST pans are stainless steelThere is no best pan. I will always take my cast iron for searing any kind of meat, every time. For this task, heat retention is king. I'll use stainless steel for simmering acidic sauces for hours, for this task, non-reactivity is king. >>22153191learn to cook rice better gaijin
>>22153340>learn to cook rice betterTo make properly fluffy fried rice it has to be constantly in motion or else it cooks to itself newfag.
>>22153325>i have "decent" stainless pans with the copperok it's not a stainless pan fuckwadwhere's the webm of the guy rolling an egg around on a hot cast iron>oh wait i got it
>>22153333i always wondered, why do "normal" people not get spooked/unsettled by the idea of death
>>22153345If your rice is clumping that much it means you made it wrong in the first place. Sorry I had to be the one to tell you. I haven't found it particularly needs to constantly be in motion, but that's a completely different thing from what you said. Stirring it doesn't require a steel utensil, smashing apart your brick of rice that was cooked wrong does. Don't fuck with me.
>>22153349Retard. There is a difference between being scared of the other side and resenting life because there is another side.
>>22153348>ok it's not a stainless pan fuckwadCaveman learns about clad pans for the first time after emerging from from underground for the first time in 50 years.
>>22153353>If your rice is clumping that much it means you made it wrong in the first place.We're talking about fried rice, you need to keep the rice in motion until the egg cooks enough so it won't stick together. You're out of context and tokens already.
>>22153358>We're talking about fried riceyes>you need to keep the rice in motion until the egg cooks enough so it won't stick together.Not if you cooked it right, no. However, again, you are changing what you said: stirring it doesn't require a steel utensil. Smashing your already stuck together gaijin rice does. Do you not speak English, or not remember what you said? Please answer so I can berate you in your own language for cooking rice wrong.Also egg goes in and cooks before the rice even enters the pan, you can't do anything right.
>>22153363>Not if you cooked it rightAre you talking about the rice you have from before, that will be coated in egg?Doesn't matter how you cooked it, if you don't put it into constant motion your fried rice will be clumpy and wet instead of light and airy. And I suppose you could lamely try to do this with a nonstick pan and a plastic or wooden spatula but it's so much easier to move the pan with one hand and kind of chop and pull up on the rice with the other.Describe how you do it, and make sure to include every detail about the rice.>Also egg goes in and cooks before the rice even enters the panNo you scoop the rice to the sides and fry much of the egg in the middle while some soaks into the edge of the rice, which you then have to cut and fling about to introduce air and make it light.
>>22153368>if you don't put it into constant motionNah, and for the third time now that is not the same as>I can take a steel spatula and whale on my cast iron pan while making fried riceYou are clearly smashing apart your stuck together shit rice. This is not the same thing as stirring. You can cook fried rice in anything with any utensils.>No you scoop the rice to the sides and fry much of the egg in the middle while some soaks into the edge of the rice, which you then have to cut and fling about to introduce air and make it light.That shit sucks.>Describe how you do it, and make sure to include every detail about the rice.Okay, wash your rice, cook it properly, fluff it after cooking, and eat dinner. Put it in the fridge. Tomorrow morning saute some shallots in oil, then when they're almost done add garlic and right as that starts to get fragrant dump in your scrambled eggs and cook. Now goes in your rice, stir it around. If you made it properly in the first place it won't stick, either to the pan or to itself. Add your sauces and seasonings towards the end of cooking, along with any (already cooked, leftover) meat you intend to add. Mix thoroughly so all the rice gets coated. As things start to heat back up after you added the sauces/meat, add a drizzle of sesame oil, let it sizzle for just a little bit then plate, garnish with green onion.Egg first is vastly superior, the only contest is a fried egg after as a topping on the rice. Cooking the egg at the same time as frying the rice is always sub-par.

>>22153403Do you even own a cast iron pan, or are you mad you lost an argument on the internet?

>>22153180What brand SS pans do you recommend? I worked at a few restaurants and we had an armory of Winco pots and pans which is what I have at home nowadays>>22153146This. I use my cast iron pans for deep frying shit. Regular frying (not necessarily deep frying) is enough to give them a thick coating that will last a lifetime. I clean them with a scrubber and dish soap and I have no problems
>>22153191>leech dangerous chemicals (they do) you're an idiot
>>22153439They do. It's a fact.
>>22153093People have really turned cast iron into mythological cooking utensils. You're a retard if you cook eggs in a cast iron skillet. You're a retard if you cook steak in teflon. Stop being some weird pan maximalist

>>22153634>No one cooks the egg at the same time as the riceYes they do, lol. You push the rice to the side and cook the egg.
>>22153471it's Dupont.
>>22153438>I clean them with a scrubber and dish soap and I have no problemsI bet your food taste like soap. You'll never get all the soap out of the micro pores of your shit cast iron seasoning. Get a proper stainless steel all clad pan, no need to thank me for the advice.
Non stick are in every supermarket and I guess people assume the cheaper coated pan with "features" is better.
>>22154072Not if you keep the eggs in motion. Haven't you ever seen anybody prepare it IRL? You're not even willing to share how YOU think it should be prepared, which makes me suspect you're just a thirdie LLM lol.
>>22153200This can't possibly work.
>>22153631what do you mean
>>22154054“Not that ‘anon’,” to use the parlance have our times, but I of 2 sets have All-Clad Stainless Steel as well as numerous LODGE Cast Iron; they are both Good at different thingsStainless Steel for pan soces and acidic Food, and Cast Iron for Eggies and/or Meate>>22154120How what is supposed to be prepared?>>22154353What are you onaboutm8
>>22153333>Yeah I had shit luck in this life but mommy says the next one will be better!This is all you get, champ.
>>22153454It’s more maximalist to have a bunch of different pans for specific uses though. Why buy teflon when i can make eggs just fine in my cast iron?
>>22154054Why do you think water can’t get into these micro pores to get the soap out lol
>>22153896I want this posted in every webm thread
>>22154054The pores in stainless steel are even smaller. Do you think they aren't there? It's the same fuckin metal dude. No, the tiny percentage of chrome doesn't make your iron pan stop having pores.Retard. I know it's bait and I'm still mad. Also what kind of subhuman only owns one pan?
>>22153146For the life of me I can't figure out how to kwwp my seasoning from going to shit and needing a bunch of extra work to fix it.But I just keep using cast iron anyway because I'm stubborn.Maybe one day I'll figure it out.
>>22153093Im not buying a 15 pound pan. Fuck off
I just got a set of 5 Wagnerware Sidney skillets for $50 TOTAL with no warping or cracks from some crackhead on Craigslist. God I love tweakers.
>>22157682this is why everyone thinks male cooks are pussies
>>22153093Yes
>>22153183Regular jeans go levis. For work pants you want carhartt or 5.11, depending on your profession.
>>22157811>carharttToo thick, too warm.
nothing is as nonstick as a teflon pan period cast iron and carbon steel are as non stick as you need them for everything when using fat, teflon is nonstick even without it stainless sticks, it's a feature or the pan. Ignore the retards that tell you it's a skill issue because they're so new to cooking they've apparently not heard about fond every pan type has its uses. teflon is nonstick but not durable and you can't get it to high temps
>>22153349Were you scared before you were born?I've already experienced non existence and came alive.Can I not just do that again if I so choose?
>>22153093What's even the use case of cast iron? Stainless steel pans do almost everything cast iron does for me plus it heats quicker, and just less of a bitch to clean because it's light and doesn't need to be thoroughly dried. Meanwhile cast iron sucks at a fuckload of things including any cooking with liquid, since it leeches the iron and carbon particles ruining the flavour and colour. It's worse if the liquid is acidic. I can see it as a replacement for non-stick if you have a cast iron pan that has seen many seasons, but I don't see the use case of a brand new pan.
>>22153348The egg dripping over the side of the pan triggers me every time.
>>22153896>interstellar.mp3
>>22153896The heat of the wok turns the egg into a hovercraft.
>>22158133Seriously, with this heat it probably works with every pan.
>>22153093Who cares. Any threaded joint on your plumbing likely has Teflon thread tape. One way or another you're ingesting forever chemicals
>>22158212Just eat the shavings of a pvc pipe then ya big galoot.
>>22158212not everyone is retarded like you
I have a bunch of nonstick pans and I don't remember if they're teflon or ceramic. What's worse, apparently you can't tell by color now.
