I don't care how much you shill for cast iron but teflon is the only pan for me. Wasting time for pan maintenance is just pure homosexual activity.

>>18599141
Try reading before responding, that way you don't look like a moron or a bot. Which you do right now.

>>18599111
Didn't read but I know you're a cunt retard. I use cast iron for everything and never had a problem.

>>18599111
>1. "Seasoning" is just an applied coating, like teflon or paint. Moreover, it is a weak and unprotective coating, and has poor nonstick properties when compared to other applied coatings.
The key point is that the seasoning is non-toxic, unlike teflon or paint. Did you really just advocate for cooking on PAINT?

>>18599157
Botpost.
Disregarded.

The same people who want to shame you for spending more than $30 on a fry pan are the same people who think cooking on paint is perfectly safe.

>>18599160
No, you imbecile. I called paint an applied coating, just like polymerized vegetable oil on cast iron is.
Do you know what kind of paint the Mona Lisa is? It's oil paint. Specifically, linseed oil. A vegetable oil. That polymerized (dried) and, exactly as the vegetable oil in your cast iron does when it is heated.
So, I'm not so much advocating for cooking on PAINT as I am explaining to your retarded as that you are ALREADY COOKING ON PAINT.
Also, the seasoning is literally a layer of carcinogenic acrylamides, so saying it's "non toxic" just shows everyone how ignorant you are. As if we needed more proof.
tl;dr - you will never be a woman

>>18599174
So you want to cook on the Mona Lisa??? Buddy, I think the PFOAs from your Teflon pan have broken your brain.

>>18599174
Praying they find a cure for your hostile autism

just buy non-toxic non-stick or stainless steel retards

>>18599174
Honestly I'm sold. Respect.

>>18599296
>non-toxic non-stick
That's what we're trying to do by getting a smooth cast iron pan, but turbo autists like OP say we "can't" buy smooth cast iron because he said the cut-off price is $30 and we're not allowed to ever spend more than that on castybois.

am I allowed to use enameled cast iron dutch ovens on induction

>>18599174
Oil paint contains solvents and resins. The oil you use in your food is not the same as with painting, retard

Fun fact:
Did you know that linseed oil and flaxseed oil are the same oil from the same part of the same plant?
Guess what oil is used in oil paintings?
That's right! Linseed oil!
Guess what oil is often recommended as the very best for seasoning cast iron?
That's right! Flaxseed oil!

Gee, the more you know.

DESTROYED by FACTS

>>18599552
Yeah, you're a retard who can't into reading comprehension.

>>18599160
Teflon is bio innert
Seasoning is a thousand byproducts from oil pyrolisis, like throwing a cigarette butt in your stew

>>18599930
And I totally believe you

The inability to spell simple words adds so much credibility

>>18599938
What the fuck do you think that black layer is? I mean from a chemical view

>>18599950
Black layers matter

>>18599111
t. can't figure out how to cook on cast iron without sticking

>>18599111
The best think about cast iron is that its oven safe and good for baking. You can use it as a baking dish or for pies and things you have to transfer to the oven.

OP here. You are all absolutely fucking retarded. Go back to your fast-food threads, and stay out of my actual cooking thread.

>>18599938

Teflon coated pans are just as bad as the "new age" non stick pans. Look up gen x coatings. Ceramic is also bad for you too.

Teflon is completely safe and non-toxic, unless you get it over 500F and inhale the fumes like a moron.
You can even ingest chipped off Teflon and it passes through you with no problems.

All the anti-Teflon shilling is from hipsters hucksters and liberal white women. Ignore it.

>>18600630
>he eats the fluoride flakes

>>18599111
If sticking is a problem for you then you can't cook for shit and being a gear queer over pans is proof you are a tremendous faggot.

>>18600630
Teflon is banned and the gen x replacement is on its way to being banned in Europe. We have years of studies from 1950 "wonder" materials like deet, weed killer, agent orange, asbestos.

>>18600630
>Teflon is completely safe and non-toxic, unless it's not

>>18600676
pyroceram is a 50s wonder material, completely nontoxic, can survive atmosphere reentry, nonstick. wonder why it didn't really catch on

>>18600693
It's rather expensive and generally looks quite tacky. I use a lot of Corning shit in lab, amusingly enough.

>>18600710
>looks quite tacky
50s-60s kitchens are peak aesthetic, and I'm saying this completely unironically.

>>18600710
probably could have got affordable. I think the main problem would be the glass properties, chips and shatters for the kitchen klutz. also have no idea if they're any good to cook with

>>18600733
lol my bother's house has a potato drawer too

>>18599111
There’s no better application for cast iron than cooking steak. Seasoning the skillet is a meme, but easy to do.

Enamel coated cast iron is goat.

>>18600733
Just be careful where you buy it from, the Chinese got their hands on the name and have been selling knockoffs. We had a machine split apart at around 750 degrees, turns out it was a fake.
>>18600748
It's pretty sturdy, but it won't survive a fall or being bashed into something.

>>18599174

>>18599111
>Cast iron really only has two valid purposes.

>>18599141
Teflon is great, but I keep hearing it sucks for high heat. Any one got a recommendation for a high heat Teflon?

I have cabon steel, ss and soon a cast iron pan

>>18599552
cooking with oil is not equal to cooking with paint, even if they share ingredients. does this really need to be explained?

>>18601454
You'd be right 99.9% percent of the time, but a straight linseed/flaxseed-charcoal dark grey/black paint (no drying agents, plasticizers, additional pigmentation etc.) is nearly identical to what's on a well seasoned cast-iron pan.

>>18601526
Ah yes, I’ll just season my skillet with linseed oil. Who cares if cobalt or cadmium pigment is suspended in it?

>>18599552
Man wait until you find out about water colors

>>18601630
>no additional pigmentation etc.
thumbsup.mpeg

I literally can't tell pans from different materials apart/recognize their differences
I mean if you hold two in front of me I can see that they are different, but that's about it
I've even TRIED to learn it but I just can't

>>18599141
Enjoy your cancer.

>>18601454
Unfortunately, yes

>>18601720
>cooking red meat on pyrolyzed polymerized oils
Y-you too!

>>18601426
Fuck I haven't seen that game in ages.

>>18601860
Different annnon here
>burned meal bad, ew cancer
>burned pan good, so natural

>>18599111
>owning more than 3 makes you a hipster faggot
why is that?

>>18602190
When you read, do you try to find meanings in strings of words, or take each individual word out of context and see what pops out?
When polymerized hydrocarbons break down into your food, they're carcinogenic - whether it's PTFE or lard you've carefully been trying to craft into a nonstick diamond. If you eat red meat in moderation, and treat either pan within the bounds of expectation (not scouring and burning off the Teflon; replacing when it's fucked / not scouring and acidulating your cast iron seasoning into shakshuka every morning; reseasoning when it's fucked), you're minimizing the risk, but it's never zero.
Time will not spare us. Memento mori.
