I hate cast iron so I am in favour of this.

You... hate cast iron? Of all things people could hate, cast iron is the choice here. Mmaight.

I don't really think about looking for special detergent without lye when buying (dunno why people say that dish detergent in general doesn't contain it anymore), re-frying it once in a while makes the surface more smooth.

You definitely don't need to oil it after every use. The main reason for applying oil is to keep it from rusting while it sits. If you just use it at least once a week then that rust isn't a concern. Even if it did rust you can just scrub the rust off before you use it.

There is all sorts of special care you can do to cast iron if you really get into it. But if you really don't care then you can just use it and wash it exactly like any other pan without issue. The whole soap thing is a myth now a days because modern soaps don't contain lye anymore. Soap is entirely unnecessary in cast iron but it won't hurt it. Seasoning is adequately acheived just by actually cooking with it. You really don't need any special process to season it unless you deliberately stripped off all the old seasoning. You can cook acidic foods in it without issue. I do tomato sauce in mine all the time.

Coated pans require way more care. At least I can use proper metal utensils in my cast iron.

Maybe a cast iron skillet killed his family.

Cast iron skillets don’t kill people, people kill people.

It's not a cast iron skillet problem, it's a mental health problem.

Seasoning is a polymer which gives it similar resistance as plastic, it is not going to breakdown just with one dishwasher wash.

The whole cast iron thing is such a cult. Always makes me laugh when someone tries to preach it to me, how it's great, then there's all this stuff you need to do that you normally wouldn't, oh right you can't do this and you need to do this and yes it's heavy as all hell but that's actually a good thing

lol

What do you mean by refrying?

I notice it get smother over time the more I use it.
