Why author doesn't take a change in quality into account? I never used a double-edged blades for shaving, but I think that 2- or 3-bladed cartridges will generally shave better or at least quicker. Not sure about 5-bladed, but whatever.
Teflon skillets are much more convenient for cooking than cast iron, that I can tell from the experience. I once bought a super-expensive cast iron with non-sticking coating, and it became unusable after about a year, same as Teflon one. So the problem obviously a coating, not a skillet material.
All right, I am a selfish being who wants to just put the skillet into dishwasher machine and press "start", thus I have to buy a new skillet once a year instead of once a decade. But where are we heading to if we try to reverse this process? At Malta, where wood was in a scarcity, they developed a communal ovens, one for a village, where everybody was coming to prepare their food for the day. It even gave a birth to a very specifiс local cuisine. Do we want something like this in our cities?

Not really. DE doesn't jam as much as 2/3/5 blades, and is generally faster to get to a full shave with about a week's growth for me. Just that the setup and cleanup is a little longer. It also takes a bit more practice to get the DE razor working properly (angle/force etc.,) compared to the cartridge razors. In general, I prefer DE at home and cartridges for travel, because it's generally easier to travel with cartridges in carryon.

- willnonya 4y ago"Why author doesn't take a change in quality into account?" Followed by advocating the lower quality options... The old safety razors shave just as well as a new cartridge razor. The only advantage to the cartridge razor is that if you're a moron you have a lower risk of slicing a finger open when changing the blade. Your idea of convenience from using a Teflon skillet is based in ignorance. Both of the maintenence involved and of the difference in food quality between the two types of pans.
- SergeAx 4y agoEnlighten me in quality. I am using induction to heat a skillet bottom to desired temperature, how's the material and production method changes anything?
- mint2 4y agoIf wanting a Teflon coating, is there any benefit for doing cast iron? Or do you mean ceramic coating. Isn’t a main reason people go to cast iron is to avoid Teflon and get the natural non-stick of seasoned iron? If that isn’t needed, what’s the draw? Seems other pans would be more suitable.
- SergeAx 4y agoI was under an impression from Internet forums that massive cast skillet will have some benefit while dealing with larger pieces of meat, so the skillet will not drop the temperature the moment product touches it. Then I refreshed my memory on some thermodynamics, but it was too late.
- mint2 4y agoIsn’t Cast iron heat conduction poor compared to copper or aluminum? I’d think a heavy copper clad pan would be better. Or a giant salt block for meat cooking
- SergeAx 4y agoI beleive induction stove leverages bad thermal conductivity. It was not a Teflon, some other patented non-stick coating.
- mint2 4y agoYou’re right cast iron is quoted as the best for searing meat, with heavy duty copper a strong contenders. But I think this is a case of there being trade offs I.e dishwasher friendliness
