I've cooked with cast iron for 20ish years, and you are right. It's way easier cooking with all clad or non stick! There are certainly roles cast iron plays way better like oven cooking and searing meats, but really, people in this sub are getting stuck too easily into a scenario that doesn't exist. WE DON'T LIVE IN THE 1800's! They removed PFOAS from modern cookware and it's tremendously easier to cook in non stick and steel pans in many scenarios.

Cast iron and BIFL shouldn't be your identity as a person. There certainly is a reason these modern inventions exist. So try them out !
