Mostly skill issue. I put aluminum cuz that’s the only one I got in my dorm. Otherwise cast iron all the way

Idk if this question sense but is a cast iron skillet “clean”/“smooth”? Like, in my mind, cooking a steak would slap on a cast iron skillet, but if I tried to make like pancakes they would just pick up all the soot on the pan and not cook evenly since it’s got like a coarse surface

There shouldn’t be soot in a pan. The dark color is just the baked in grease that acts as both food safe rust coating and extra lube to stop things from sticky and baking into the porous metal.

I’ve made many pancakes in cast iron cuz on my fat days I use the grease from the bacon to cook my pancakes. Same deal for eggs

Yeah I think if you have soot in your pan you’re doing something kinda wrong

Microplastics and teflon are central components to my diet

In all seriousness, ceramic nonstick pans don’t have PFAS like teflon and are pretty safe to use
