@yorrike you don’t need to spend more than $100 on cast iron. Just need to know how to season and maintain. Most come pre seasoned but there is no question that it takes time to get a really good mostly nonstick finish. I have one for omelette making, a couple for general purposes. I also have a carbon steel pan that i love for searing. Took me a long time to get than one properly seasoned. Now it’s the most non stick pan I have.
