What's the difference between cast iron and carbon steel?

Carbon steel is lighter and heats faster but has less heat retention. Cast iron holds heat better for searing. Both require seasoning and similar maintenance.

How heavy should a cast iron skillet be?

A 10-12 inch skillet typically weighs 5-8 lbs. Heavier isn't always better—lighter skillets heat faster and are easier to handle, while heavier ones retain heat longer. Choose based on your strength and cooking style.

Is enameled cast iron better than regular?

Enameled cast iron doesn't need seasoning and is easier to clean, but it can't develop a non-stick surface like bare cast iron. It's also more expensive and can chip.

How often should I season my cast iron?

If you cook with oil regularly, you may never need to re-season. Only re-season if food starts sticking or you see rust. A full oven seasoning takes about an hour.
