Carbon Steel Frying Pans
To summarize, the material a Dutch oven is made of, especially cast iron, has a huge impact on its use and functionality. The cast iron Dutch oven's versatility, durability, and even heat distribution make it a valuable tool in the kitchen. Whether you're frying, stewing, or baking, a cast iron Dutch oven is a reliable and essential piece of cookware for any home cook or professional chef.


Best for: Almost any food that needs searing, including steak and burgers. Cast-iron pans are ovenproof, so you can use them to roast meats like beef or pork and to bake cornbread, deep-dish pizza, shepherd’s pie, and more. And they retain heat so well that they’re a good choice for deep-frying chicken, doughnuts, or other foods because they keep the oil at a constant temperature.
The details: Cast-iron frying pans are practically indestructible, and they’re handed down for generations in many families. That makes their typically low price even more attractive. And if well cared for, cast iron develops a patina that releases food almost as well as nonstick. But the pans are heavy, and you have to be patient when heating them up because they don’t come up to temperature fast. Once they do, however, they retain heat.
Our tests of coated and uncoated cast-iron pans show how versatile this cookware can be. We sear steaks, brown scallops, and bake cornbread to see how well a cast-iron pan works for home cooks. The best pans ace all these tests. We also judge how easy they are to clean. Because of the enamel coating, the coated pans are a bit easier to clean than the uncoated ones.
Here are two recommended cast-iron pans from our tests.
Advantages:

unseasoned cast iron skillet. Avoid using soap when cleaning your cast iron skillet, as it can strip away the seasoning. Instead, use hot water and a stiff brush to scrub off any food residue. If necessary, you can use a small amount of kosher salt as an abrasive to help remove stuck-on food. Dry the skillet thoroughly with a towel, and then apply a thin layer of oil before storing it in a cool, dry place.
Non-stick frying pans are also easy to clean and maintain, as food and grease can be wiped away with ease. They are also safe for use on all stovetops, including induction.
However, aluminium frying pans are not as durable as other materials and can be prone to warping and scratching. They are also not as good at retaining heat as other materials.
