My $12 cast iron pan beat my $90 nonstick for eggs and I feel like a fool
I cooked scrambled eggs in my grandma's old cast iron skillet last week and they slid right out with way less butter than my fancy nonstick pan needs. The nonstick is 2 years old and already has scratches and sticky spots, while the cast iron is probably older than me and cooks circles around it. Now I'm wondering if I should just donate the nonstick and use cast iron for everything, or am I missing something? What do you all keep in your kitchen that just works better than the pricey stuff?
