No, this isn’t a cast iron thing. Using stainless pans, you can get nonstick effects that, in my experience, far outperform Teflon anyway. The process is called “spot seasoning.” I have cooked crispy, cheesy rice noodles with eggs with zero sticking.
I love my cast iron pans, but stainless is my daily go-to. Added bonus: use 100% copper wool to clean your stainless pan. The copper-coated wool at most grocery stores is problematic; you might get a few uses out of the coated garbage and then it starts shedding metal bits.
Some thought needs to go into their care, though
Idk don’t use metal utensils is the major one. What pan doesn’t need some consideration?
If you’ve ever lived in a house with others, someone is going to use a metal utensil. Its unavoidable. Better to just not have cancer causing stuff in your kitchen
I’ve never lived with such mouthbreathers. It’s definitely avoidable.
Spoken like someone very ignorant of their privilege
Privilege of not living with absolute dimwits. How rare much it be in some places. I feel for you
Yes. Poor people often dont get to choose their housemates. The landlord does.
I’m familiar with the situation. As said, I didn’t need to pick my housemates since the absolute mouthbreathers seem to be much rarer here. Or I got really lucky, since none of them were dimwitted enough to use metal on a pan.
