They take some learning to use as cast iron holds a fuckton of heat that will last for quite a while even if the stovetop is completely off. This can be used to your advantage while cooking slices of meat.

But the title says it all. Get a cast iron pan. Throw out all the (((aluminum))) (((teflon nonstick))) and (((copper))) pans.

e: just remember to clean them or things will cake on. Don't be worried about rust spots on the pan. They come off very easily.

I am also a fan of high carbon pans, similar to cast iron, but not as heavy. they are more expensive as well, so cast iron if you are starting out.

has anyone ever fixed a warped cast iron pan before? i have a 20ton press, but i'm wondering if it is possible without heating it first.

without heating

Do you want cracks that will likely contain shards of iron that will flake into food and then into eaters' blood streams?

It would probably be cheaper buying a new one. They're like $35.

free iron supplements? sign me up.

what do you think about applying pressure from above with a press while blow torching from below? new ones just aren't the same as antique ones. i have a few that aren't visibly warped, but on a flat surface you can tell, and when scraping with a flat spatula you can tell.

no more mia for you please

Heating is going to be necessary and it will have to be throughout. If you have access to a 20ton press you can likely have access to a furnace capable of reaching... I dunno what heat is necessary for it to glow.
