    You can buy a stainless steel pan in IKEA for like 30 bucks or something, it will last forever too and you don’t need to do anything to it to avoid rust. And you can cook anything in it, unlike cast iron, which doesn’t tolerate highly acidic foods.

      I don’t have any fears cooking acidic food in my cast iron, I just clean it out afterwards like normal. People way over baby cast iron pans for no good reason.

      Mine was $60 and it’s noticably better than my cheaper smaller one. Likely due to thickness, potentially due to steel quality. Or maybe just being bigger and having more thermal mass? Anyway, no more non stick for me ever again minus the 8" egg pan.

        Well, I’m not sure about prices in US, I lived in Europe, maybe IKEA stuff is cheaper here.
