Reply to comment by El_Zedd_Campeador in What specific product, model or brand is still being made and worth it? by tomistruth

I think there's no debate that a $15 cast iron is worth it. It's a.versatile functional pan for life for less than three cups of Starbucks coffee.

Now can you upgrade? Absolutely. Blacklock, Le Crusette, stargazer, etc.. But it's not necessary.

Feel like it still just requires more care. A thick stainless steel pan is really impossible to mess up no matter what you do.

That is completely inaccurate . Quite possible to gouge it with metal cookware, scorch it, or warp it with fast temp change.

Not sure how you'd gouge a stainless steel pan without an angle grinder. You can burn food in anything, but you can wire brush a stainless pm without a worry. Probably best not to do that to cast iron if you want to keep the seasoning in it...
