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 best pan is the $20 no name stainless steel pan from a restaurant supply store. Cast iron is for Dutch ovens that need to retain heat for stews and curries and shit. Anyone that genuinely prefers cast iron over stainless just doesn’t know how to preheat a pan and use cold oil. “Oh I want a pan that requires ongoing maintenance, can never be properly cleaned, isn’t actually non stick at all, and weighs 900 pounds so doing any kind of toss is a total pain in the ass”

Once again we are reminded of the fact that 4chan is full of bullshit.

... Just get a fucking non stick pan and don't use wooden or iron utensils on it. Done, problem solved.

Let anon go camp in the woods for a week and report back.

why use a forever pan when you can have forever chemicals?

My cast iron cookware exists out of survivors bias. Everything else has fallen apart in one capacity or another.

Heat cooking oil in the pan until it starts smoking. Hey presto it's seasoned. Tomato will not strip it, nor will soap. Intense scrubbing will.

Cast iron is so easy to care for. Just don't stick it in the dishwasher or let it stay wet after washing.
