Gotta steak it up for Sunday. I prefer cast iron steak over over grill sometimes.

I don’t know who needs to know this, but cast iron pans are the best nonstick pans you can buy.

4 years ago | Likes 15 Dislikes 0

As just skillets, they're fine, where they shine is versatility. Go from the burner into the oven, use 'em on the grill or as a dutch oven.

Also, my local Walmart has cheap ones for like $7. A little TLC and they'll get the job done, but only if you're already a decent cook.

I’ve got one Dutch oven, three stew pots, two griddles, two skillets, and a crepe pan. And a tiny novelty pan, the size of one fried egg

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I've got several. Personally I can cook just as well in stainless steel, but being able to do multiple things with one pan is very useful.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Indeed. The important thing is that even high end “nonstick” stuff is shit.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Not really. Non stick coating isn't the issue, its most non stick pans are thin and cheap. Get a solid one like an al clad d3. Point of

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I just want to clarify to those who have never worked with cast iron before- it’s nonstick AFTER it has been seasoned very well.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

Yes. Absolutely. And if you take care of it. If I get a rusty one sometime soon, I’ll do a full post on how to care for it.

Please! I've tried to season some "rescued" cast iron pans and I'm failing!!

Do you have a newer oven?

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I'd consider it older, a gas oven and range from the 90s.

I do sous vide, then have some duck fat warmed in a cast iron skillet... then FLAMETHROWER SEAR!!! Delicious, every time.

I was gifted a carbon steel skillet and have barely touched my cast iron since. Just as good but much lighter.

American wagyu doesn't really have more marbling than normal prime beef. Its a name scam that is not worth the price of admission.

That one has a good amount of fat/marble so it’s gonna be more tender.

Me too. I recently got an air fryer and it’s amazing, comes out super dry on the outside and sears so beautifully in a cast iron pan.

It’s basically just a convection oven. Cooks faster b/c it moves the air around & that also helps dry the surface of meats.

Reverse sear ftw my man. Go the other way.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Never tried that. How is it 'reversed'? I'm willing to try anything that makes steak better.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

You cook it slow to a little under the desired temp, then you throw it on a super hot pan at the end. You get a better crust on the meat.

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Room temp steak to low heat oven. Bring to temp. High heat sear. Or can sous vide, even better.

4 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

For convenience and ease go sous vide if you want really good. Reverse sear is better but only if you have a wireless thermometer

Cast iron is the best way imo

It's *a* way. Cast iron isn't the be-all-end-all pan. If you have one pan, have a modern non-stick-coated pan. If you have two, add a...

...cast iron. Then another cast iron, then another, and another, and before you know it you're in an alley sucking a dick for a Dutch oven.

Cast oron is #2 option to me. Hardwood or charcoal is always best. Then Cast Iron, and gas grills are back around #5 or 6

4 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

To clarify because Imgur edits suck: 1. Hardwood or Charcoal, 2. Cast iron, 3. Broiler, 4. Cooked in a diesel fire, 5. Gas grill /s. Some /s

4 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Nah. Grilled over hardwood charcoal. No smokiness if you cook it in a pan.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

With a little butter and hint of garlic. A good seasoned cast iron is the way to go. I have two with different flavors of seasonedness TM

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

A good stainless steel pan will offer the same heat retention as a cast iron, but will heat more evenly. Meaning a good steel pan is better

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 3

Also its a bit better for making sauces with the meat juices

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 2

No it will not. There is a reason radiators are made out of cast iron and not steel

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Carbon steel is superior in almost every aspect; seasoning is a bit more volatile and somewhat higher price is the only real downside.

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

That, less heat retention, and less flavor. Cast iron is the fucking shit
