cast iron is best for searing with that heat retention

non-stick is the worst, limited lifespan and questionable healthwise

>>11140962
Your bait thread’s not doin to well is it, cast iron hater?

non stick shit

Have fun with your high maintenance rusty bullshit.

>that time anon was too stupid to dry his pan
lol

>>11141744
So you like the taste of iron in all your food?

>>11141200
those cloves are doing fuck all for that steak sitting on top of it away from the heat

>>11141747
keeps my iron up, keeping me strong and healthy

>>11141747
There really isn't enough iron to notice a difference in taste. Don't be stupid.

Stainless steel > cast iron >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everything else including toxic chemical coated pans and Alzheimer causing aluminium.

What is the worst type of poster, and why is it (you)?

>use 1 steel pan, pot, and sheet for 90% of my cooking
I really don’t understand having a huge cookware collection. Although I do have a small non stick pan for no mess eggs.

>high maintenance

>>11141749
You can't saute garlic cloves and sear a steak at the same time. The garlic would rapidly burn. Do you even cook?

>>11143980
It sure as fuck doesn't sound like you do. The top of that steak is not putting off near enough heat to roast/cook the garlic. It's literally one of the most autistic things I've seen on /ck/ in a long time.

Why not cook it in a separate pan or on a tray in the oven? Then you can add it back in at the end when you're finishing off the last flip/baste/etc. Nope! I'll hurr durr I'll put it on top of my steak! Look out guys a REAL cook is in the kitchen.

Aren't you supposed to add the garlic during the final step where you baste your steak with butter? You don't add butter at the start either. Just cut a bulb of garlic in half horizontally and put the halves cut side down in the butter. Add a sprig of rosemary and start spooning the butter over your steak.

>>11141747
>HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO SEASON A CAST IRON PAN

>>11144028
You're a fucking retard.
I wasn't defending putting garlic cloves on the steak. Read my post and the post to which I replied again. What's it like being too stupid to follow a conversation that's only 3 posts long?

>>11144043
what dose that ever mean

>>11144038
Yes exactly... It's added during the final basting/finishing phase.

>>11144047
You have to put oil on the pan after drying it so it doesn’t rust.

I can’t believe people, on the cooking board of a Indonesian silk weaving forum, can’t grasp that concept and complain about rust

I've been using cast iron for a couple of years. I've given up seasoning it. It's such a pain to have to maintain a fucking pan. A pan should be a pan not a project. So my pan has no seasoning on it and food is just directly on the iron. It still works and is literally no effort. Use non stick spray and stir regularly and your shit won't stick.

Unless it's possible for me to get led poisoning or something, I don't see why I shouldn't just do it this way.

>>11144062
I seasoned my pan when I got it 5 years ago and haven't had to season it since. Sounds like you're just retarded.

>>11144093
How the fuck is that possible, I followed all of those guides and ck advice, even used flax seed oil, wipe out with water, put oil on after cleaning, and still the seasoning flaked off.

I honestly believe that fucks who are just like "works for me lol" are straight up lying

>>11141200
kek whats with the garlic? I like garlic but what the fuck?

>>11144107
Why are you wiping off oil with water. It sounds like you're doing things out of order or washing the seasoning out yourself. Your first seasoning will take a few hours going in and out of the oven and you should be wiping off excess oil so it fills cracks and builds a smooth even layer. Too much oil will make bumps that will flake off easily. If you must wash it, don't use soap or anything too abrasive. A blast with warm water and light scrubbing will do fine. Personally, I just do this >>11143910

>>11144107
It's a combination of the fact that nobody can verify how incompetent they are through the medium of 4chan, and also the fact that cast iron spergs are fatasses who think corn bread, hamburgers, bacon, pork chops, and steak = "everything" and so the concept of actually needing versatile, flexible cookware is beyond them.

>>11144146
Couple things. I know how seasoning works, and I did it properly, I even did multiple coats and had it 100% perfectly seasoned. Just over time it flaked off or scraped off. I only used hot water and a soft dish brush to clean it.

I bought a cast iron because I was tired of babying my non stick pan.
>Don't scrape it or use metal utensils
Ok, I'll just get a solid metal pan that can take some abuse
>Ck says cast iron are indestructible heirlooms
Okay, I'll try it
>WHAT THE FUCK YOU WASHED IT?! Also are you using scraping it or using a metal utensil?!?!?
I got a fucking solid iron pan because I was tired of having to baby my nonstick. And who would of fucking thought that a solid iron pan is even more picky.
>You're just retarded for not taking care of it.
I'm sorry I don't want to go through a 6 step process just to make sure my pan is okay after every time I use it.

I fell for the cast iron is good meme so hard. Never again. They are easily the most pussy pan, pretending to be indestructible.

>>11144171
>put oil in pan
>put salt in pan
>wipe it down
>throw salt away

I'm sorry that's too much work to ask of you. Just sell all of your kitchen utensils and stick to fast food, dipshit.

>>11144171
Your problem is you're trying to cook actual food in it, as opposed to hamburgers, pork chops, and bacon

>>11144192
>went from MacDonalds hamburgers to real ho-made burgers
>everyone is stupid except me!
The mind of the cast iron fag

>>11144192
Literally every other pan in existence is
>Cook in it
>Wash it

Those 4 steps you listed are not worth using an overly bulky, outdated meme pan.
>>11144203

Cast iron fags are clinically retarded

>>11141218
if this is not bait, i feel fucking sorry for you panlet.
holy shit how fucking hard of a concept is this--
PAN GETS DIRTY
SCRUB THE FUCKING PAN--WATER, STEEL WOOL, ONE TWO DROPS OF SOAP IF REALLY BAD- if any panlet says this will remove a patina they need shot
DRY PAN, PUT OIL IN PAN, WIPE PAN WITH OIL
PUT PAN ON BURNER/OVEN, TURN HEAT ON, LEAVE 1-3 MIN ON BURNER/10 MIN IN OVEN
how is this any more difficult than any other pan aside from the seasoning step? the pans a fucking tank you cant do shit to it.
iron rusts, so you have to dry the shit out of it. so while you dry it, you throw another season on there.

>>11144237
Why are cast iron fags so spergy, angry, and autistic?

>>11141200
Holy fuck I baste with like one clove what is this shit

>>11144242
i see that this was bait.
to honestly answer this, it comes from having to deal with mentally inept adults with limited comprehension on a constant basis and being annoyed with the child-like manner of explaining every concept in like that isnt "push-button."
lets admit it though, you probably spent a few weeks paychecks at your artisanal reclaimed soap company (aka dads shed) saving up for a $20 lodge pan, then got all angry when ol moustache handles found his brand new pan all rusty the next time he wanted to take a picture for reddit.

>>11144265
Yes, we know you're broke and resentful, the question is why spergy, angry, and autistic?

>>11144237
Lmao lemme summarize this
>You're retarded and need murded if you don't think

>This
>This
>This
>Then this

>It's easy! That's all you have to do!
>Except this
>But that's only if you don't do this

You can call me retarded all you want but my man, using a pan should not be this complicated. Any other pan it's one step
>Wash
Cast iron is such a meme and you are the retarded one if you don't see that

>>11144279

>one step

Minimal advantage over carbon steel, much heavier.

>>11144300
ok so a thick heavy skillet has no advantage over a thin one?
go away.

>>11144336
If you need a thick skillet that implies the flame isn't doing all the work

If the flame isn't doing all the work then you want the best performing pan possible, which would be aluminum or copper

Steak has been cooked on carbon steel since forever, since you're just doing it blast furnace style anyway

It's really just spergy neckbeards on the internet who obsess over cast iron because they want to be like the stick figure in "oregon trail" by MECC

Here's some advice for you: get dysentery and die please

>>11140962

Thin aluminum pots that cost $2 at the dollar store that warp if you leave them in the sun and you could punch through.

Most pans with plastic handles. They either break/jiggle or they're a bitch to clean.

Mini cocottes, mini anything really.

Grill pattern pans. All the difficulty of cleaning a grill, none of the taste.

Ceramic non stick pans. They last a month.
There's a lot worse than an oven ready pan you can make pretty non-stick and can potentially outlive you.

>>11140962

He doesn't know how to season his cast iron pans.

You literally have to be a nigger to not understand how to do it. Are you the same poster that complains about not being able to cook rice?

try to make a Dutch Baby in other type of pan and then get back to me

if you are not an absolute poorfag you can afford cast iron, stainless steel AND non-stick pans all at the same time .... that's why I dont need "versatile" cookware, I always just use the one that is ideal for the job.

>>11144043
inb4 what's the best thing to eat while watching the yanks win

>>11144896
the only job cast iron is ideal for is giving neckbeards a much needed sense of purpose in life

I'm pretty poor and I have all that shit and more, just didn't get it all at once.

>>11144582
is that supposed to resemble a markup language? never post here again

it's not, it's cheap non scratch resistant chinese non stick cookware.

>>11144978
It is pretty great for frying potatoes and searing meat. The difference is noticeable. Even my cheap ass 12€ carbon steel pans work better for that than my 90€ Woll name brand non-stick pan.

>>11144981
Exactly. Start out with a non-stick or a stainless pan and get the rest as needed. PLus there is no reason not to buy used or ask family/freinds if they have old stuff they want to get rid of. Both my grandmothers died a few years ago, I have now enough perfectly fine cookware to last me three lifetimes.
