AMA about cast iron and carbon steel pans

I'm a magic 8 ball of pithy sayings

Cast iron: heaviest, slowest to heat, best heat retention

Carbon steel: lighter (than cast iron), faster to heat (than cast iron), more responsive to heat (than cast iron)

both are heavier, slower to heat, and less responsive than aluminum, clad aluminum (stainless steel 3 or 5 ply), or copper

In build quality/design: I think so

In performance: a bit better but definitely not worth the difference in price

It’s well past diminishing returns

Are these noticeably better than the cheap ones from restaurant supply that restaurants use?

I will confirm blanc pans are quite nice.
