AMA about cast iron and carbon steel pans

I'm a magic 8 ball of pithy sayings

What are your go to regular things to cook with carbon steel? With cast iron?

Cast iron and carbon steel are mostly interchangeable, so I mix and match.

Carbon steel skillet: eggs, chicken, steak, fish, veggies - anything that you would normally use a nonstick pan for

(Enameled) Cast iron dutch oven: braises/stews, chili, adobo chicken, or mac n cheese, bread, biryani

Cast Iron Griddle: pancakes, bacon, carne asada for tacos, anything that needs more space

Also good to keep acidic foods away from seasoned pans.
