    Cast iron is to sear the bajesus out of steak. Nothing else can blacken the steak crust to my satisfaction without inadvertently overcooking the middle.

    I hate it for everthing else.

    A tiny cheap teflon pan just for 1-2 fried eggs and nothing else.

    Then SS all-clad as the go-to for everything else.

    Been having good experience with the hexclad teflon pan although handwash only. I believe it is generally disliked because it is marketed as “dishwasher safe” which is absolutely false. When handwashed it holds up very well.

      Cooking at such temperatures is really bad for you. It will give you literal ass cancer eventually.
