do americans REALLY

non-stick is fragile and cast-iron needs 20 years of careful seasoning to be worthwhile (and can be ruined at any time)

Because I want to make a pan sauce?

> Doesn't know about seasoning pans

The state of this board

what's this cast iron meme I've been seeing all week? I see it all over normie twitter and instagram meme pages. i have a cast iron I use for camping and for grilling, and non-stick pans for tacos, chicken, etc

>>14368447
>Why do white people use stainless steel pans?
false premise. Most whitesoiys are obsessed with "muh gast iron" because of the natural herd mentality.

>>14368447
>not enameled cast iron
ngmi

>>14368484
>People still think they belong to a secret club because they use cast iron

Because they look nice in a set with stainless steel pots, and stainless steel pots are nice even if the pans aren't.

>>14368447
Because i can use soap and steel wool on it, put it on the oven or over a campfire, and stick it in the dishwasher. It's a jack of all trades master of none pan, which is good because you're just cooking for yourself.

Because it's objectively superior to both?

>>14368447
>Not having multiple pans for multiple purposes
What are you, gay or somethin?

Distributes heat quickly and evenly, light weight, very few limitations on what you can do with it. You won't have any issues with sticking if you use oil properly. What's not to like?
Falling for the cast iron meme is retarded, it's good for some things but you still want to have a stainless steel pan for most else

Stainless steel and aluminum cookware gives white people food the traditional soulless flavor like grandma used to make.

>>14369545
White person here, have to deny this allegation. Baking in ceramic cookware does this.

>>14368447
deglazing

>>14368447
>Why do white people use stainless steel pans?
YES! I knew I wasn't a nigger.

>over a non-stick
because you can scrub it with steel wool like a caveman and not have to worry about fucking up the coating and getting bits of it in your food
>over cast iron
fuck cast iron

>consuming teflon and fluoride products

>>14368447
>laughs in carbon steel at cuck iron and stainless soi
steel is real

>>14368455
But what if you enjoy being chubby and soft?

>>14368447
With steel I don't feel the immediate need to clean the pan. Toss it in the sink, get to it a few hours later, who cares? Cast iron does not have that luxury.

>>14370143
I don't, I only like soft chubby girls.

>>14369534
>using seed oils
NGMI
use only animal fats, olive oil is semi ok if's eaten as is

>>14368447
Fond.

>>14370085
Best compromise.

I'm not white and I prefer stainless. Maybe you should stop false flagging, mayocide when?

>>14368447
Steel is good for caramelizing onions, but otherwise I like non-stick for everything.

>>14368447
Have fun poisoning yourself with your non-stick pans

>>14368447
stove to oven, searing and deglazing, frying, etc. all tools have their porpoise.

>>14370143

Then you’re copeing and know deep down youd rather be slim sexy and aesthetic

Because white people are stupid and can’t do anything right and everything they say or do should be ridiculed until the day they’re eradicated completely.

>>14368447
FUCK I LOVE BEING A TALL WHITE MAN
The feeling of turning people into jelly,seething angry retards by merely breathing is something I wish all you could experience at least once in your life.

>> Doesn't know about seasoning pans
there is like a rust colored stain all over my SS pan. is this seasoning?

>>14369377
>>People still think they belong to a secret club because they use cast iron
when i see cast iron being used by a friend in their kitchen, i think "this guy probably knows how to cook food and doesnt use metal utensils in their teflon pan"
people who dont know how to cook and use metal utensils in teflon pans usually dont own/use cast iron

>>14368495
It's just a hipster trend they latched onto a few years ago so now it's how "sophisticated" people are supposed to cook.
Also why is cast iron so popular for camping? Everybody seems to use it for that, is it because it works better over a large fire? I need a camping pan but cast iron is heavy, I'd like something I could take on a backpack trip although not necessary

>>14368447
with stainless, barkeepers friend yeets the crud off of the pan, making it actually clean, unlike cast iron which has this layer of permanent crud that you're not supposed to clean off, that they call "seasoning" for some autistic reason

to answer your question OP, white people have fulfilling but very time consuming jobs that justify the expense of a stainless pan with the time savings and peace of mind that result.

>>14369984
Oof ouch my pineal gland

>>14373256
>turning people into jelly
Anon I've never heard of spreadable condiments made of the remains of colored humans

What about copper pots/pans? I think they look the coolest but I don't know if looking cool is the best reason to choose new cookware. But copper is a good heat conductor so that should be good right? And they're non-stick

Do you have to spend loads to get a decent stainless steel pan? my one is pretty garbage for searing compared to my cast iron.

>>14368447
Last night I dreamt I was white and I'm about to go extinct but thankfully I woke up lmao.

If you aren't a complete fucking tool you use all 3.

>>14374793
>hurr durr I have three different sets of cookware but you're the tool!

>>14374767
Use them. They are great.

>>14374767
real copper pans shouldn't be used a lot because it can give you copper poisoning. they're mostly used for candy making. the copper non-stick pans are just copper colored and no different from any other non-stick bullshit. copper is a valuable metal and any real copper pans you find won't be cheap even if they've been completely ruined

>>14373383
Cast iron for camping because the conditions lead to "accidentally" seasoning your cast iron. There is still a huge portion of the population that doesn't quite understand it. Since people don't generally bring dish soap when camping and since people don't clean their camping supplies at home, it leads to these people thinking camp food tastes better on cast iron just because they've seasoned it properly without realizing.

>>14371289
Go back to /ic/ you fucking crab.

>>14374775
>my one is pretty garbage for searing compared to my cast iron

Abetter pan wont make much difference. Stainless steel emits much less infrared radiation than cast iron when hot, that is the reason why stuff browns better in cast iron than in stainless steel.

>>14370085
This. Carbon steel is superior to both

>>14375377
Nigga I bought the pans individually

love my all clad. worth every penny. i can make mashed potatoes direct in the pot. i can use it on my induction plate (too poor for a induction stove now). i can use a hard metal utensil to chop, flip, and pick at things. some asshole can put it in the dishwasher and it will be okay. i can broil in the saute pan. i can do fancy stuff with fish and chicken. i really don't regret it. lasts forever and I've noticed the price only goes up-and-up every year.

>>14375859
High end stainless steel pans are heavier and hold more heat though right?

>>14377005
Sure, but for seriuos high heat browning and searing cast iron will always be superior, and for anything else an affordable stainless steel pan will suffice. High end stainless is a waste of money in my opinion.

>>14370143
you shouldnt

Cause they're cheaper and you don't have to worry about some dumb fuck ruining it in whichever way, also salting and oiling the pan makes it nonstick anyway

>>14368447
i'm white and got a vasectomy this week because black lives matter

>>14368484
well.. I'm not going to eat it

>>14368447
I've been abusing and neglecting my stainless steel pan for years and it's still perfectly intact, good luck doing that with literally anything else.
