My wife has no interest in cast iron, since it doesn't come in pastels, but she does love a steak seared in cast iron.
    can't u 'season' cast iron, whereafter it's surface is easy to clean as teflon?

    IIRC it involves oiling the pan, then super heating it on the stove for () time -- does something re the porousness (or not?) of the surface

    I have well seasoned cast iron I bought in the ‘60s. They are better than any ‘non stick’ surface.

    I try not to wash my cast iron. Wipe it out after using and the oils keep it seasoned.

    My ex told a story of an angry wife rolling her drunken husband in the blankets the beating him with a cast iron skillet.

    My brother doesn’t wash his either. I do wash them but never scour them. I can’t see any difference in the performance between mine and my brother's.
