It takes more than a few minutes to properly season it, m8. Sounds more like you aren't seasoning right but using an excessively oiled pan, which will kind of work but that means you have to constantly keep doing that. Whereas if you season it properly you never have to.

i think it’s the quality of the pan and tge failure most people experience with them
i have a very old oneand it’s perfectly smooth at the bottom
my wife uses it, burns food to it, soaks it, scrubs it with soap etc
i just heat it with oil or butter, wait until it smokes, wipe and repeat a couple times and it’s good to go. i can cook eggs in it without sticking

97 years old is pretty much "indestructible" when you consider everything built today has built in obsolescence.
The fact that it *can* be abandoned and restored multiple times is a wonder.

Exactly. That's what you're supposed to do, and to dry it too. Except you do that right after you cook with it, not fucking wait until the next day when you want an egg for your bitch boy breakfast.

Seasoning a cast iron wok in my apartment kitchen that has no exhaust fan. Oven set at 450, using avocado oil because 500 F smoke point. No smoking 30 minutes in - which is what I was worried about - just odor from the splatter of previous oven use. The secret to smoke-less seasoning is to wipe all the oil off until there's nothing left on the paper towel. You want the thinest possible coat to polymerize.

There isn't a single reason to own cast iron, it's just a meme that white college girls are adopting because it feels 'rustic'. It's overrated.

And don't even get me started on the weight. I hit the gym and I do hard manual labor with mandatory overtime 50-60 hours a week. Obviously, a pan even filled with food isn't intensely heavy for me, but it IS heavy compared to normal cookware. I don't ever want to risk waste/injury transfering a pan from the stovetop to the oven, and when I've got a roast in there or whatever it gets me fucking worried. When my wife had to move our cast iron around I always got twice as worried because she's not able to just casually flip around 40 pounds of random shit with one hand, she HAS spilled stuff before and thankfully never burned herself.

It's retarded. Steel/copper is what normal people cook with and for good reason.

it actually wasnt sanding but the casting process, from what ive read over the years

allegedly the texture of the bottom has no impact to a properly seasoned pan after testing; so, it wasnt worth the additional cost

the only area i feel cast iron edges out carbon steel is i feel the season on cast iron is less temperamental. my (Cheap, tbf) CS pan seems to flake quite a bit more and has less consistent nonstick properties despite my efforts but im suspicious thats the quality of the pan itself (No name budget pan from a restaurant supply store)

The debate is down to people who have an autistic obsession vs people who have an autistic disdain for it and the trolls inbetween who like to stir the pot.

The answer lies in the middle, cast iron is great at some things but not others. I have a grill pan that does perfect steaks every single time so I only cook steaks in that. For other things I have a Teflon coated aluminum pan and a steel pan with a copper core. Get a couple of different pans and just use what you find to be the best for each job

yes id does you dumb cuck, you don't need to polish it, but a flat surface with a good seasoning is better to avoid sticking.
The rough surface is caused by the sand mold they use and the fuckers don't bother to sand it down so you have to do it, they get away with that because modern soy boys don't know how the pans work and will buy anything.

That's why nothing sticks to stainless, aluminum or other smooth surfaces... oh wait. The only thing that makes a difference is the seasoning. Take a perfectly smooth stainless pan, then take perfectly smooth cast iron pan that hasn't been seasoned, and compare them. They will be pretty much the same in terms of sticking. Now season the cast iron... bingo. It's the seasoning, not the flatness. In fact teflon pans are even sort of rough, rougher than stainless and the like, yet they are nonstick. I'm sure you had lots of fun with your power sander and felt like you were really getting one over on those "soyboys." But it makes no difference.

the point of using cast iron is not only that is non-stick, it holds the temperature better and it is good for browning meats, that's it, yes you can use a tick stainless steel pan but it all comes down to preference, I have both stainless and cast iron and I use them for different things, I made some bread in the cast iron the other day but I would never try to saute something in it.
>That's why nothing sticks to stainless, aluminum or other smooth surfaces
You're being retarded, food does stick to them if you don't use them correctly and the same goes for cast iron, and that is my point, each one has its way of use.
Do you wanna know why people defend cast iron so much?, use one for a while, get used to it, you'll find some things it does better and some things a stainless would do better, now I don't like aluminium because it can leave flavors on acidic foods but that is just me.

>make sauces
It can work, but not ideal. You won't totally ruin the pan but you'll likely damage the seasoning a bit and need to fix with some oil and heat next time you use the pan. Use something else if you have it.

>deglaze
Deglazing won't damage the pan, but if you have a good seasoning it will be hard to intentionally make a nice fond for a pan sauce.
Deglazing for cleaning when stuff does stick (and you don't want it to stick) is a good idea, but you can't really use it as a cooking technique.

I baked a chicken in my cast iron tonight. Rinsed it out for a bit, scraped it with a scraper, put it on the burner for a minute to dry. I'm going to make some bacon tomorrow so I won't have to reseason it for a while.

Are some of you impotent or have flaccid partners? I mean what's going on with you that this is a struggle.

Aluminum has twice the thermal capacity of cast iron, but is about half as dense. So an aluminum pan that retains as much heat as a cast iron pan will weight half as much but be the same volume. It also conducts much better than cast iron and will have fewer hot spots.
