Maybe my vegan friends are just bad at cooking, but i swear any time they use my steel pans they leave them fucked right to fucktown.
Cast iron for life
Steel has its uses as well. I've got 2 giant cast iron pans, a smaller steel pan and a cast iron wok. It loses heat when removed from the source faster which can be useful when juggling a few pans at once and you don't want something to keep cooking after you turn off the heat.
Carbon steel is a great kinda hybrid of both imo if you can find it for a good price. Heats up much quicker and more evenly than cast iron and is not as heavy too, so really versatile. It also gets seasoned for that flavour and non-stick quality although not as well as cast iron.
Obviously there's lots of styles of cooking but my experience is that vegan cooking tends to result in a lot of burnt stew-type dishes. I think it might have to do with not enough fat.
That and chronically overheating the pan it seems in their particular cases. I've spent a lot of time scouring chick peas and lentils of my favorite pans.
