My main gripe with the cast iron is that it generates so much smoke (even with fancier oils like grapeseed) that I get a pretty bad headache. I guess my ventilation is just not up to par. I've been eyeing a portable induction cooktop to use outside, but my boyfriend just wants me to get a grill.
- ogre_codes 6y agoYeah, I think my preference to the cast iron is mostly that the torch seems so fiddly and slower, otherwise it works just fine.
- LargoLasskhyfv 6y agoInduction cooktops are MAGIC. Since I am a lazy i used the portable ones, because having not to install them. And discovered i can flip/fold them against the wall when not in use to save space! Anyways, go get at least one!
- balfirevic 6y agoHow are induction cooktops going to help with smoking oil?
- soylentcola 6y agoI think it was because the poster was specifically buying one for outdoor use (rather than the fact that it was induction). To piggyback on this comment, one reason I love using a cast iron skillet for steaks is so I can get a nice fond and deglaze for a sauce to go over the steak/potatoes/whatever. It's like a freebie!
- balfirevic 6y ago> I think it was because the poster was specifically buying one for outdoor use Ahh, that could make sense, yes. > one reason I love using a cast iron skillet for steaks is so I can get a nice fond and deglaze for a sauce Yup. Pan sauces are free flavor that you get with every pan meal :) Works well with stainless steel skillets too.
