  • Contrary to popular belief, you can scrub your cast iron, too. The seasoning (if done correctly) is bonded at a molecular level to the cast iron, so even a hard go with a steel scrubber wont take it off.

    Should you do this regularly with a strong soap? No, but its better to scrub off some burnt on bits than leave it on because we think cast iron seasoning will be ruined is we look at it funny.

    But if you’re cooking with it right, that shouldn’t happen too often.

    They are a bastard cookware hiding behind a fragile veneer of porcelain.

    But for real, it just seems like its another thing to chip/crack/break. I personally like cast iron because its one giant piece of metal that’s practically impossible to damage under regular use. I don’t see why I would give that up just to have a candy shell around it.

    Aeropress is the superior coffee method for 1 cup at a time. Quick, easy, effcient, and clean up is a breeze.

    That being said, if I’m making any more than 1 cup at a time, I go for my my Moka Pot. Moka gets closer to that espresso experience, IMO, and is great for making lattes/cappucinos/americanos at home if you dont want to shell out hundreds for an ok espresso machine, or $1000+ for a really good one.
