Anon recommends a cast iron pan
(sh.itjust.works)
This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
The one reason professional chefs don't use it is because it doesn't disperse the heat evenly tho
If you need even heat distribution, copper pans are the way to go
And they definitely need more babying than cast iron IMO, cast iron pans will take any and all abuse, then you can just clean & season them again and your pan is good as new
If you get cooper too hot, use the wrong utensils or are generally not treating it with kid gloves, it's gonna end up ruined after a few years, especially if it's a tin lined one
You'd be extremely daft to use copper that wasn't tin lined btw
Oh yeah, compared to a bare copper pan, for sure
There are some modern ones that are lined with stainless steel though and they don't have as much of an issue with high temperatures
you heat it way up then use a low heat after it gets to temp. that's a commercial issue
