is there anything more embarrassing than cast iron enthusiasts? these cucks spend more time seasoning, modding, and taking pictures of their 'rons

I use cast iron for cooking meat. Only other thing I really cook in it is sauteed vegetables using the left over fat. Pan fags are retards. I have cast iron, stainless, stone, non stick. They all have their purposes.

It's not waffle about nonsense though, it's actually an article about the dish.

There's a different page for just the recipes with nothing else.

Recipes in general do it to get further up on google, or because they're a blog for whichever bored person writes them.

Serious eats articles do it because it's actually worthwhile investigation into the dish and cooking techniques and details recipe development and specifically why things work so you can actually learn from them beyond simply following a recipe blindly.
there is a page with just the recipe on it too.

Long long ago, in a quaint little house on the Florida panhandle, a proud African American future doctor/rocket scientist was attempting to break in. This wasn't his first foray into crime as he was wanted in connection with a string of rapes and burglaries in the area. He went into the back yard and attempted to enter the home through an open kitchen window. This was grandmothers house, and her husband was at work. She saw him when he was halfway in and she took her favorite trusty cast iron skillet off the stove and viciously bludgeoned Dr. Jamal, who as a result of the encounter received permanent and profound brain damage and probably never functioned again. She said the left side of his jaw was completely detached from his face and was just hanging there pouring blood. She assumed he was dead and calle the police. They hauled his bloody mangled body away, asked her some rudimentary questions and ultimately congratulated her. She got her picture in the paper holding the skillet. She later found part of one of his teeth behind her blender that she kept in her jewelry box until she died. I have that skillet now, I cooked eggs on it this morning.

Except the metal utensils part. You WILL scratch the seasoning with metal utensils, or by stirring bone-in meats around a lot.

They also rust in high humidity environments, basically having a lifespan of 5 goddamned days if you don't cook or oil them. Some old firearms suffer the same issue.
