>What are people possibly using these for?
Eggs and egg dishes (e.g. pancakes) mostly. No other pan works as well. Washing after cooking is also very quick and easy. Perhaps you've never used a non-stick pan that was maintained correctly, i.e. never overheated, stirred only with silicone utensils, and washed by hand using only non-scratching sponges. Most non-stick pans I've seen owned by other people have been in poor condition. If you think cast iron makes better food you probably use it for searing, which should never be done with non stick. And many people falsely believe wooden utensils are incapable of scratching non-stick pans.

For eggs & pancakes I find that cast iron is responsive enough to temperature changes when used with induction, and that butter works to prevent sticking just fine.
- mrob 2y agoYou can cook eggs on non stick with no added fat at all.
- hnbad 2y agoYou can make a case for eggs (although I don't like the way they come out this way) but this is a weird health argument for sweet pancakes which usually contain sugar and are drenched in syrup or chocolate spread. Also if you're making eggs and bacon, just use the bacon grease for the eggs?
- NoGravitas 2y agoIf you hate flavor, yeah.
- larsrc 2y agoI've been using wooden spatulas on my non-stick pans for years without any issues. Maybe only cheap non-sticks have trouble with them?
- dotancohen 2y ago> never overheated, stirred only with silicone utensils, and washed by hand using only non-scratching sponges Actually, with all that consideration, iron pans seem _easier_ to maintain and clean.
