AMA about cast iron and carbon steel pans

I'm a magic 8 ball of pithy sayings

I feel like I've never been able to get the seasoning to the level where they are non-stick enough. Tips other than a lot of use and proper care?

Learning to preheat the pan helped me a ton with this too (applies to stainless pans as well)

For sure, that would have been my next suggesetion.

Gas and electric burners can heat unevenly - induction or oven is the way to go.

Also an infrared thermometer to keep track of pan temperature has made cast iron/carbon steel a lot easier, and definitely made me a better cook

I watched a chef friend cook an incredible meal on the shittiest electric stove/oven in his tiny NYC apartment. Made me really appreciate technique and taking your time in cooking.
