They are good. But cast iron bros are pretty annoying.

Don't let the Cast Iron Bros gaslight you

not going to lie, after getting a high quality stainless and learning how to use it, it's just so much easier to use the stainless and if you deglaze for a sauce, it's even easier to clean after. cast iron, you have to plan a clean and dry and then they are heavy to handle throughout the whole process. in terms of steak searing, recent youtubers have shown that heating a stainless properly and flipping properly can get some pretty intense crusts plus the ones with copper clad help with lack of thermal mass. finally, if you want more thermal mass, you can get things like a 7 ply atlantis clad which is a tank.

I'll take a nonstick pan over stainless and cast iron any day.

Cast Iron is not meant for everything like a regular skillet. Just because you don't know the difference doesn't mean it sucks.

Being oven safe is a huge factor over every non-stick pan I've had. Different tools for different jobs, really.

I use a cast iron skillet almost constantly. I don't think it takes any more looking after than anything personally. But I could appreciate someone who disagrees. I would understand why.

your seasoning is wrong if it's hard to clean
