i’ve been wanting to get into cast iron pans for a while now but it’s been hard to switch from stainless steel. it just feels wrong to have a kitchen with no cast irons and i do love how long cast irons last.
I found one once in a kitchen of a place I moved into. Cleaned the rust off, seasoned it, used it. When the time is right and your heart is ready, a cast iron pan will find its way to you.
Carbon steel pans are also pretty cool. You also gotta season them and care for them. But they can have thin bottoms so they heat up quickly for stir-fries etc. Traditional woks are carbon steel.
No more non-stick cookware for me. Too paranoid about PFAS.
