Some people like cooking with cast. A properly seasoned cast iron pan is pretty much nonstick without the threat injesting Teflon.

I was looking to try out a cast iron sauce pan as I love my 2 cast iron skillets. I'll give this deal a try; thanks OP.

Cast iron heats up more efficiently and retains it longer as well. EG, I only have to use medium (50%) heat to bring anything to a boil with cast iron compared to medium high (75%) with SS skillets.

I also enjoy the premium heavy feel of cast iron and the ritual of wiping it down with cooking oil after use. To make a funky analogy; It's like playing vinyl records for "audiophiles" I guess laugh out loud

That's not true. Cast iron doesn't heat up efficiently at all. It is very uneven. Virtually every other pan heats up more evenly. Copper, steel, even aluminum.

Cast iron's advantage is its heat retention, generally the greater mass of the pans, and its cheap to manufacture. Once it is heat soaked, it has a lot of energy to cook with.

Controlled for confounding variables, like pan's mass, shape, preheating time, etc., your anecdote about water boiling would not hold up to scientific testing. Turned on at the same time, with the same heat, a thin carbon steel pot would boil water faster than a cast iron would.

Most people would not want a cast iron saucepan. It's reactive so it's a bad choice for anything acidic, and the small bottom isn't as effective for searing as a skillet. The nonstick quality of cast iron is nice, but liquids and sauces rarely require a nonstick surface. Searing and braising is better done in the wider bottom and taller sides of a Dutch oven. The best use case is probably some sort of sauce where you need to brown some meat first. It's a very niche pot with low versatility. That's coming from a guy that cooks on cast iron 75% of the time.

Thinking the same, not a fan of cast that isn't lodge, lecruset, or older American like Wagner, Griswold, etc

Cast iron's advantage is its thermal conductivity. Once it is heat soaked, it dumps that heat into the cooking item quickly.

By more efficient I was claiming that it heats up and cooks faster. But I've determined that you are correct after doing some [google.com] basic research [usatoday.com]; especially about cooking acidic foods thus making cast iron a poor choice for a sauce pan.

Cast iron seems to cook quicker when compared to SS via my anecdotal evidence though. It also requires less energy; medium heat (50%) compared to medium high (75%) for SS but I now realize that's probably because the cast iron skillet fits better on my stove's burner and the weight of it helps to keep the skillet still and totally flat. (I have a GE stove with funky and annoying Sensi-Temp Technology [geappliances.com])

I enjoy using my cast iron skillets though and I'm looking forward to trying the sauce pan. I just like how cast iron feels and the the soothing satisfying tactile sensation of oiling them after use; perhaps I'm a pervert lol/joke. laugh out loud Thanks for enlightening and correcting me; I learned a lot and it's appreciated.

If you are anemic, low iron in your blood, then cooking with QUALITY cast iron greatly helps your iron intake through cooking with cast iron cookware. From your friendly 25+ year registered nurse that is board certified as a cardiac nurse. 😎

Yeah they're somewhat useless if you put anything acidic in them. A regular old sauce pan is fine.


I'm a pretty die hard cast iron person, but not for a sauce pan

My Victoria is far smoother than my Lodge cast iron.

*Colombia

"Columbia" reads like it's made in South Carolina.

Cast iron definitely doesn't heat up faster, but if you put a ton of energy into it, it may be able to cook something faster. Silver heats up the fastest, but it's expensive. Copper is kind of the king in pans for transmitting temperature quickly which also means it heats evenly. Then aluminum. Then steel. Then cast iron. Cast iron heats the slowest of all.

I still love the cast iron too. I've also got a very niche 8" lodge skillet that I only make cornbread in, so I totally support niche desires if that is what someone wants.

Victoria really is pretty good. They have thinner and longer handles than Lodge that don't get hot as easily.
