Are you a bot or just fucking retarded?

good lord. steel is iron and carbon, just not so much carbon it becomes brittle and called cast iron

cast iron is basically steel, but has it's own name because it's brittle. roughly between half a percent to 3 percent carbon (among other things) is the base of many steels. "cast iron" is about 4 percent carbon and pretty much no ductility

"basic chemistry" linseed oil is acid resistant so stfu.

no. Teflon pans are just the worst. silicone utensils only and never turn the burner over half or your budgie dies. BTW your theory about oil coating is idiocy.

it's fucking lye, doesn't take much

Someone doesn't know Sodium Hydroxide is Lye

dawn literally has lye in it

Dawn has lye, that's why it works so well

I used flax oil to season my dutch oven, and finds it stands up to frequent tomato based pasta sauces for a bout a year, but it does eventually fail, an you know immediately when that happens, iron flavoured bolognese. Did that for a few years and finally got an enamelled set for that. As for the frying pans, mine are really old (1920s) and quite lightweight, nowhere near as heavy as newer Wagner 1898s and Lodges. I find the heat retention just perfect when making a carbonara, i turn the burner off when the pasta is three minutes from done and the heat is just perfect to make the carbonara sauce cook without turning into scrambled eggs. The other use, pan frying steaks, nothing does that better. They're not for everything, I have one 7 inch teflon pan that i use for one purpose only, and that's french omelets. I have zero interest in trying that in a cast pan.

I guess when you can't deny you've heard exactly what I'm talking about come out of the mouths of people think self defense should be charged as murder, all you can muster is a pithy accusation of baiting.
