What Is All The Hype Of Cast Iron Cookware?
I bought cast iron a while back and I've stopped using it. I now use an all clad with aluminum core most of the time. I heard that cast iron was a must because you could easily do the jobs of other cookware with replacements, but you can't replace cast iron for the jobs it can do. I find that ANY job I could do on cast iron I could do on my new pan, probably even better. There's more temperature control, the pan is lighter, I can make rouxs and pan sauces so much easier, it can go into the oven as well. I found the only thing good for cooking with cast iron was steak and southern cooking, which all could easily be made on my more versatile all-clad. Am I doing something wrong? Cast iron is so restricting and specific for certain foods. I can't do anything that damages the seasoning or reacts with iron, which includes anything with acid or long boiling or stewing times. I thought cast iron was the best. Someone please convince me not to trash my skillet
