Cast iron pans are god tier cookware tho

yep

and the old wagnerware stuff is basically amazeballs compared to a shitty lodge if not just for the weight alone

And polish

All smooth and shit

But even lodge is decent

there's a few chink brands of cast iron but they all follow the same stupid Lodge mold of rough surface and heavvvvvy as fuck weight

it's okey

i'm glad lodge and chink brands like VonShef exist

Just season up like 10 layers and it's smooth anyways

idk what the success rate is for most but it took me a few tries to even understand what good seasoning was

there's... a lot of bad knowledge out there

Yea

The trick is using an oil with a low smoking point

But obv being able to do it in an oven is a bonus

I got a basically chinkshit wok that can't go in the oven

It was a bitch to season on the stovs

Stove*

well actually for woks you want thin carbon steel

cause you want it to heat up fast

You still season thin carbon steel

yea

Source: this wok is thin carbon steel

i don't think you need an oven

Not that thin tho. Like 14gauge

it's really thin compared to any cast iron lol

Oven is easier cuz set it and forget it

i guess

And the burn your house down

Also the stove here is a ceramic glass top whatever whatever electric stove

hey since you seem to know stuff... is there a good chink shit manufacturer of quality borosilicate glass tupperware

or does shipping basically kill that stuff

the best i've seen is some amazon dealie

i mentioned vonshef but they only seem to sell the stupid set

i want like, 10x 3-cup rectangles for making meals in one shot during the weekend
