  OP said the problem is that they’re too heavy for Mrs. OP, not that they stick. I managed that problem for years by leaving mine on its designated burner 24/7. Until I got a glass top and had to stop using it.

  And if cast iron is too heavy, then use carbon steel or stainless. We just keep a Teflon pan to cook those frozen rotis.

  Yeah, they are great. So much more durable than any coated pan.

    And a healthy natural source of iron as opposed microplatsics & teflon.

      Where will I get my teflon and microplastics then?

      Oh, right. Everywhere.

      a teflon pan won’t emit anything if you use soft tools like wood or silicone. it’s the manufacturing that puts out forever chemicals.

      not that it matters, since we can’t really absorb molecules that long and it’s already literally everywhere.

        since we can’t really absorb molecules that long and it’s already literally everywhere.

        I’m curious how you came to this conclusion. PFAS and PFOS stay in your body for an incredibly long time and can accumulate quickly. We have no easy way of processing them out, and yes we absorb them into our longer term cells like muscles and fat.

        It’s an incredibly important health problem the world is facing, as every variant of PFAS and PFOS causes cancer. and there is no medical way to remove PFAS once its in your body. The absolute best you can do is lower (you can’t eliminate) your exposure over time and hope the build up isn’t enough to trigger cancer growth before you get cancer or die from another source of industrial pollution.
