Vintage, or nicely finished pans with polished surfaces or extra greebles and nubbins can be expensive.

Something liked a lodge pan will be cheap but the bottom of it kind of sucks without being ground down ether by long usage or by tools.

I cook on gas, couldn't care less about the smoothness of the bottom but I get people would if cooking on glass top

In general thought, cast iron is cheaper than any pan equivalent in performance... the cheaper stufq they sell at grocery stores are practically dispossable

They don't mean the underside.

They mean smooth on the inside. The bottom as In where tu out your food to cook.

My brother has one like that that was ground smooth brand new. I had mixed opinions when I uses it.
