   Cast iron skillets are the best; so glad I found a couple in the homeware store just down the road. Not only are they – contrary to popular belief – easy to maintain (just rub with rapeseed oil or similar and heat to season and use hot water and a towel to clean) but they also add iron into your diet… magic! ;)

     Oh, and the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.

     I cooked eggs on mine today and I’d only seasoned it twice and used it once before; it’s already beautifully non-stick.

     The best is when you cast your own!

     @tek @aral Speaking of ancestors, I use my great grandmother's cast iron skillets on my induction hot plate. 150 year old pans on 21st century stove 👍

     @aral Yes, this! I nice skillet is a true buy-it-once purchase, and it genuinely works better than any fancier skillet.

     And yes, maintenance is dead simple: use it, then wipe it clean. I guarantee our ancestors didn't spend days looking for the perfect seasoning method.

     Plus, it doubles as a home protection device;)

     @aral Plus you can make amazing deep dish pizzas. (Although the tomato sauce does take it's toll on the seasoning)
