>>19769125I like being able to sear off chicken breaststroke and throw the whole pan in the oven. I like having a cast iron lid and braising lamb shanks in the same pan. I like being able to sear steaks at high temp. Non stick is for low temp cooking, like eggs, Mac and cheese, etc.
Not for actual cooking. It's simple as that.
If you heat your non stick to high Temps to try and sear a steak it will destroy the nonstickablity of the pan.
Ask how I know.
I also own non stick pans. I love my egg pan. I like my wife non stick pot I use for sauces and pastas.
Each have a place dude. I'm not a purist. I just like cast iron because the durability/multiple uses
