I agree with Stein, cast iron is cast iron. It is all in the finish and the seasoning. I have at least 8 of different sizes and manufacturers. If polished and seasoned correctly fried eggs slide right out. I have also never had an issue cooking on glass tops including using a pressure cooker. |

We have been cooking on for the last 2-3 years.

I've got a few cast iron pans. Used them on several glass tops over the years without issue maybe I just got lucky. I've always sanded them If they were rough and after alot of experimentation I'll say grape seed oil is by far the absolute best seasoning oil I've found. Once you figure out how to prep them they are perfectly non-stick and I love using them for most things. Avoid acidic things if you don't want to have to re-season the pan. |

I'll add I've got a old no name brand pan a lodge and a cabelas branded pan and they all work great. I'm sure the expensive cast stuff is awesome but the cheaper stuff works good too. |
