Are cast iron flat-bottomed pans easy to use?

Are you also hesitating about whether to buy a cast iron skillet? This thing looks heavy, but everyone who has used it says it's really great! Cast iron pans heat evenly and retain heat well, locking in the juices when frying steak, and they give pancakes a particularly beautiful color. The key is that the more you use it, the less it sticks, and you don't have to worry about the coating peeling off at all. However, cast iron pans on the market range in price from tens to thousands, some are heavy enough to train your arm strength, and some are specially treated to be non-stick. Choosing the right one is really a technical task.

When choosing a cast iron pan, you need to consider several key points: the size should match your stove at home; too small makes frying eggs difficult, too large won't work on an induction cooker; the thickness of the pan bottom determines the heating effect, too thin and it easily burns; the edge design is also important, some can gather oil, others make it easy to pour out soup. Buying the right one can be a family heirloom, buying the wrong one might just be a piece of scrap iron.
