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

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…

Induction gives you the speed and control of gas, without the exhaust gases. Induction is more efficient than infrared, because you’re heating the pan directly. The cooktop only gets hot from the pan resting on it.

Get induction, it’s by far the best!

Induction also requires specific pans, right? So a regular cast iron pot won’t work?

Probably answered below:

All will work with induction, except for cheap aluminum nonstick pans

I thought it was more involved than that but after a quick search online I’m wrong

A very slight clarification here:

cheap to make alumin
