So you would trade Teflon for a known carcinogen that’s linked to lung cancer? Also it’s more work to maintain a cast iron pan, you can’t exactly throw it into a dishwasher.
- RajT88 3y agoCast iron pans don't have a link to lung cancer. Unless you count the workers in the foundry that is making them.
- adrr 3y agoHeating vegetable oil up so it turns into a polymer creates carcinogens. Why cast iron pans have a non stick surface.
- RajT88 3y agoHad to look it up. That claim is truish. However it is only a risk while seasoning and if you are inhaling the fumes. Needless to say, don't do that and cast iron presents no risks. At the end of the day, a really silly reason to swear off cast iron.
- nerdbert 3y agoI have never spent more than 90 seconds cleaning our large cast iron pan. And that's only if it's really egged up. Whatever convenience we're talking about, it's trivial.
