No, this isn’t a cast iron thing. Using stainless pans, you can get nonstick effects that, in my experience, far outperform Teflon anyway. The process is called “spot seasoning.” I have cooked crispy, cheesy rice noodles with eggs with zero sticking.

I love my cast iron pans, but stainless is my daily go-to. Added bonus: use 100% copper wool to clean your stainless pan. The copper-coated wool at most grocery stores is problematic; you might get a few uses out of the coated garbage and then it starts shedding metal bits.

      If you’ve ever lived in a house with others, someone is going to use a metal utensil. Its unavoidable. Better to just not have cancer causing stuff in your kitchen

            Privilege of not living with absolute dimwits. How rare much it be in some places. I feel for you

                I’m familiar with the situation. As said, I didn’t need to pick my housemates since the absolute mouthbreathers seem to be much rarer here. Or I got really lucky, since none of them were dimwitted enough to use metal on a pan.
