I use stainless for boiling water, cast-iron for meat (bacon mostly; if I make a steak or chicken I usually cook it on the grill), and teflon for eggs (always low-med heat).


I think the wok I use for stir-frys is also iron but not the same sort as the skillet. It needs to be oiled and not soaped or it will rust, but it is gray rather than black like the lodge stuff.

When you're cooking for a family, teflon if the way to go. They need to be replaced every few years, but the time you save scrubbing pots and pans is worth the extra money.

If you want to poison your family with the toxic fumes they give off when heated then yep, it's definitely the way to go..

I now have to replace my non stick wok with a regular one. Why even sell a wok with a non stick surfaced when you need to usually have those on higher than medium heat?

Exactly. I think they put most woks use most woks on medium/high or high heat. Cook it fast!

I refuse to cook anything in non-stick, and I have never owned a non-stick pot or pan. Gross.
