    Based on your experience, what is the best type easy to clean, and nonstick frying pan, for every day use?

    There’s a huge anti-Teflon (and coatings, in the same category) movement, due to health concerns.

    Iron skillets are healthy, but heavy, and how do you clean them?

    Are ceramic pans a new thing? What makes them special?

    Thank you 🙂

    ps. Right now, I’m using nonstick frying pans from Costco. They are Teflon-ish. It’s been a few weeks of this, and I’m concerned about health risks from the material.

    Just use a little oil on a regular iron skillet, and wash it with baking soda followed by lemon juice and then soap.

    How about Cast Iron?
    Its heavy, but many claim it to be healthy, though it needs to be carefully washed.

    Is cast iron different from regular iron?

    Is it even possible to make an iron pan using any method other than casting?

    I thought you just cook straight on the iron, like in yeshiva.

    Ceramic pans are widely available, affordable and work fine.

    Cast iron pans are very nice but if you buy them pre-seasoned there could be kashrus concerns, and if you season them yourself it’s a bit of a hassle.

    Teflon contains manmade molecules that enter, and never leave, the human body, and nobody knows if they’re harming you.
