New Cast Iron is great for frying, no economical substitute . .
. . but if your cooking has a long simmering phase after frying, it's less than ideal. Enameled Iron is where it's at then.

I have a general 9" frying pan which is kept properly seasoned and a sheet steel (better temperature control and shape) omelet pan. The omelet pan never sees water, but the frying pan gets scrubbed out and reseasoned when it gets too much build-up on the sides.

Grape seed oil works very well for seasoning.

New Simmering goes into the preassure cooker, without the top on
stout steel construction keeps an even temp, dont preassure cook too much anymore, just chicken when Im in a hurry.
