    Cast iron has a weird cult following. It’s like the jahovas witnesses of cookware

      I used to think so, then I just started using them on the reg and it turns out to be super easy.

      It’s just a pan.

      I don’t like using it because of the maintenance and manual cleaning, but I do use it because of the iron rich food it makes, and the longevity of the cookware.

      Also I heard Teflon is literally freaking poison for you, like one of the worst things to consume. And pots and pans always tend to flake Teflon after a while, from general use. So we got rid of everything Teflon.

      I don’t know how true it is but it feels good. Doing some manual labor isn’t a bad thing either.
