The only big upside to cast iron is the price. If you cook regularly getting enameled cast iron or stainless steel will be better.

I gotta say mine is about 20 years old, my dad seasoned it by cooking a few dozen pounds of bacon basically. He gave it to me when I moved out and bough himself a bigger one. His cholesterol shot up from all the bacon he cooked again to season it heh.

How lazy are you? It's literally soap water to clean, then heat till dry and hot, put a bit of oil in the pan and rub around, cleaned and seasoned.

[Anonymous No.12367503]

>>12366788
Cast iron pans retain heat better than other options and when the seasoning is properly maintained offers a non-stick cooking surface. Plus, if you take care of it, it will be something you can pass down to the next generation like your nephew or your wife's son.

If dish soap ruins your seasoning, it wasn't actually seasoned. You were just cooking on a layer of sticky, rancid oil.

>>12366861
>the factory seasoning flakes off regardless of what I do and it won't hold new seasoning
Does your seasoning look like gray and shiny, like graphite? That's because you burned it. Don't let dry cast iron sit over higher heat. Sand off the carbonized shit and re-season.

Cast iron has a lower melting point than SS.

[Anonymous No.12369360]

>>12369008
have both as well as stainless but i always reach for the cast iron
i do like the carbon steels handles though theyre definitely better than cast iron that needs a pot holder to move by the handle when in use

[Anonymous No.12369365]

>>12369336
they're both 1000C+. the only thing you're cooking at those temperatures is charcoal.
but stainless steel pans usually have a copper or aluminum core that will warp the pan at the higher temperatures.

[Anonymous No.12369370]

>>12369336
Nobody is heating either of those pans anywhere near the melting point. The difference is that cast iron and carbon steel grow stronger the more they are used, whereas SS just gets more...used.

[Anonymous No.12369422]

>>12369336
Melting point is like 1,200 C. At which point the pan would be visibly glowing. I don't think the average stove would get anywhere near that hot, and even if it could what are you trying to cook on that?

>>12369008
I love my carbon steel pan. Reacts quicker to heat changes than cast iron (both good and bad, but often useful), pretty non-stick, and fairly light for it's size.

The pre-seasoning is usually not great, but it's better than nothing. It's good enough on lodge to use as a base for seasoning a new pan more, but it doesn't even hold up to making a low acidity bean soup. I did a few more thin coats worth of oil while seasoning and it holds fine with typical cast iron cooking now. The seasoning on the stargazer pan I have held up fine to whatever I threw at it, but some things liked to stick until I seasoned it a little better.

There are literally 0 reasons to ever use cast iron aside from it being dirt cheap.

Guys I ordered a de buyer carbone plus and it's my first pan that won't be non stick and I'm so scared of fucking it up. I don't have a gas stovetop to season it on, does anyone have a good video showing how to do it in the oven?

Why would you make soup in cast iron? That implies you're either making soup in a skillet or buying a cast iron sauce pan/stock pot. Both of these options are wrong.
