Cast Iron is all you need in the kitchen.

After cooking when it's cooled down a bit, scrub it with coarse salt and a sponge, followed by hot water. This is assuming you've seasoned the pan correctly.

it's ok anon I laughed at it

Cast iron is weak in several areas

A. It heats very slowly, making quick tasks like frying eggs, sausages, reheating painfully slow.
B. Things stick to it even if you season the pan well.
Tofu, cheese, egg, noodles, all your usual offenders.
C. It's expensive to buy, many people have other priorities in the kitchen.
D. Hard to adjust the heat with gas, induction fucks them.

Stainless steel is superior in every single way. Cast iron is a stupid meme that people here took too seriously.
Your claim is like saying 'all you need in the kitchen is a wood fire'. I mean yes you can cook most things in it but incredibly more efficient and convenient ways of cooking exist

My tool box contains a hammer. That's all. Don't want to make repairs easy on myself.

[Anonymous No.13238632]

Cast Iron is superior for certain tasks. If I'm going from range to oven, such as when making a steak, it's ideal. If I'm searing something like a raost, I'm not pulling out cast Iron. I'll get a better sear from Stainless Steel. Eggs, or grilled cheese are going in non-stick. It's just about understanding your tools and the appropriate time to use them. Of the 3, if I didn't have space for 1, the Cast Iron gets voted off the island, because of the 3, it provides the least specific benefits. I can just as easily sear a steak in SS, and place it on a broiler rack for the oven. This might even be more convenient, as I can make a pan sauce while the steak finishes in the oven.

It's all you need in the same sense any slab of metal with high walls is also all you need. However there are applications to which cast iron, stainless, carbon, copper, or whatever is technically better suited. The difference being enough for you to give a fuck is a separate matter.

[Anonymous No.13239620]

Boiling water in cast iron ruins the seasoned surface.
You need different pots for things like that.

But cast iron is the best option for everything else. A well seasoned cast iron skillet beats a cheap teflon thing from China any day.

check out this faggot
rub it dry with a paper towel, if there is too much sediment stuck you can use a wire sponge or something like that, finish with another paper towel with just a drop of cooking oil to prevent rust and that's it, been doing this for years and my pan is perfect every time, even the food tastes better.
all these faggots with their seasoning and bullshit rubbing salt and shit man, it's a heavy duty pan you queers

Another example of the fact that cast iron manchildren literally only make muh burgers and muh steak. That’s why they can’t see the inadequacy of their favorite reddit pan
