Cast iron/carbon steel skillet with aluminium/copper base">Cast iron/carbon steel skillet with aluminium/copper base
Hi folks, I'm in the process of buying a new skillet and came across an idea: cast iron and carbon steel can be seasoned to develop a non-stick finish.

I love food. Unfortunately, I can't cook worth a damn. I've been known to even burn water.
