> Funny to see people elsewhere “rediscovering” these products.
It’s funny for us Americans to watch our fellow Americans go through their “cast iron is amazing” phase. Cast iron is actually very common here as well, but many young people start with a cheap nonstick pan and only later discover that there is a range of cookware options available.
In reality, an experienced cook will use a variety of cookware for different tasks. Having cast iron, non-stick, stainless steel, and enameled cookware available is very common.
I appreciate cast iron, but this trend of worshipping it as the one true cookware is funny. Good nonstick pans are amazing when used properly and replaced when they wear out.
I actually only have cast iron and inox steel cookware. I inherited some Teflon (“non-stick”) ones that I don’t see the use for, and will dispose of after learning it’s toxic. I can cook eggs and omelette just fine without those.
