What Is The Difference Between A Cast Iron Skillet And A Regular Teflon Skillet?
Why is it that some chefs like to use a cast iron skillet rather than a teflonone? Is it for the taste?

iron retains heat much much better. It’s good for frying and other really high temp cooking needs. No taste of iron is detected but it actually does provide the body with a little dose of iron. An iron skillet is easy to maintain after being baked with oil on it to season it. Instead of washing, it is wiped with a paper towel. The oil left on it is desired. Teflon has a great reputation for the non-stick cooking. It has a bad reputation of possibly harming the body with chemicals but there are tests that prove both sides of that issue. The taste of teflon is not detected.
According to my Grandmother, quality is the difference. And, as Kittywink pointed out, you don’t wash iron. I remember being an young girl and almost getting my Grandmother’s iron skillet in the sink full of dishwater and she about had a fit! She said once it is seasoned you never put water on it and especially don’t put soap on it. The world would be a better place if it was still full of people like her.
cause cst iron gives even heat & better favors
cast iron skillets hurt worse when you smack someone over the head with them lol, no seriously, they just hold heat better
I think cast iron is more healthier. I have a doubt. Two types of iron pans I saw in our place. Are there normal iron pans & cast iron pans (2 types)? Please someone explain.
