Ok, honestly, is cast-iron really any better than a non-stick, stainless, copper (anything else?) pan? (lemmy.world)

To me, someone who celebrates a bit more of the spectrum than most: Metal hot. Make food hot.

Non-stick means easier cleanup, but my wife seems to think cast-iron is necessary for certain things (searing a prime rib roast, for example.).

After I figure those out, then I gotta figure out gas vs. electric vs. induction vs infrared....

I picked up a cheap cast iron frying pan a couple of years ago, having finally gotten sick of paying £50 every couple of years for a decent non-stick pan.

That cast iron pan still looks basically new. I don't do anything particularly exciting with it, I just use it, then I wash it with whatever scouring sponge I have. Best £12 I've spent on something for my kitchen.
