MODERATORS
In this thread are people trying to use one tool for everything.
You don't use a screwdriver for everything.
Likewise, in the kitchen, you don't use the same utensil for everything.
And I'm sorry, for the people that have one fork, one knife one knife, one pan. No. Unless you live on shit food, you can't cook with just that.
If you actually want tasty food, you'll need some hardware. There's just no way around it.
Disclaimer, I'm French, and an actual cook (non practising).
Good a non-practising French, thought I could smell you through the screen for a moment.
I was giggling uncontrollably, so I knew that a US guy had to have replied to one of my posts with something hilarious. Of course I wasn't wrong.
Ya the smug alert in that one was to high

Meanwhile, I'm like "huh, maybe you should learn how to cook, but you do your stuff, that's your own business".
Ceramic rules.
Ceramic is great for some things.
Like, cooking.
Cooking some things.
Ceramic is the equivalent of non stick stuff.
Are we talking the same ceramic here? It sticks less than with teflon.
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I can't cook eggs for shit in ceramic. Give me a stainless steel or teflon pan and I can knock out a perfect french-style omelet, but give me a ceramic pan and suddenly I'm clueless. I genuinely don't understand what could possibly make such a significant difference, but I swear it's true.
Well, yes and no. Ceramic is roughly on par with Teflon nowadays.
But for example when your searing meat, inox is usually considered superior (it would be ok for eggs though).
When you're roasting potatoes, ceramic is definitely at the bottom of the list.
Each dish has its appropriate tool.

The whole cast iron thing is such a cult. Always makes me laugh when someone tries to preach it to me, how it's great, then there's all this stuff you need to do that you normally wouldn't, oh right you can't do this and you need to do this and yes it's heavy as all hell but that's actually a good thing
lol
I'm not a fan boy, I actually resisted getting one for nearly a year before one was gifted to me. There are a couple perks and draw backs I've learned. Pros: heating is pretty even, cleaning is actually way easier (IMO), and I can use metal on it. Cons: needs to be seasoned, takes longer to heat, some people get the ick from seeing rust.
TBH it's pretty much the only pan I use now (cause I find cleaning easier and I'm lazy AF), but people should use whatever suits them.

Seasoning is a polymer, which is known for its strong resistance. It is unlikely to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.
The seasoned surface is hydrophobic and highly attractive to oils and fats used for cooking (oleophilic).
The protective layer itself is not very susceptible to soaps, and many users do briefly use detergents and soaps.[28]
Unless you are dish washing it everyday and refuse to dry/reseason it, you will be fine.
However, cast iron is very prone to rust, and the protective layer may have pinholes, so soaking for long periods is contraindicated as the layer may start to flake off.

It's going to be a good day.
I mean, as long as it's your cast iron skillet.
I see someone has chosen violence today
Fuck you. >:(🖕
You... hate cast iron? Of all things people could hate, cast iron is the choice here. Mmaight.
Maybe a cast iron skillet killed his family.
Cast iron skillets don’t kill people, people kill people.
It's not a cast iron skillet problem, it's a mental health problem.

Setting off the pan nerds should be listed as a war crime by the Geneva Convention.
I'm loving all the superstition in this thread.
