When cooking which do you prefer non stick teflon or cast iron classic pans?  

i prefer the cast iron old cooking style as i am a very bad cook and have a habbit of burning things regularly these pans are easy to clean where as the teflon coated ones seem to loose there coating after i have burnt them

I prefer the old cast iron pans. They last a lot longer if they are properly taken care of. Unfortunately, they are also a lot more expensive.

Hi apples99, I love my old stand by and that's my cast iron large frying pan. Man, chicken always come out delicious and so does fried potatoes.

I like cooking with Teflon pans more so then I do cast iron. But I can say that I do own a cast iron pan that I only use for cooking bacon. It is a great piece of art.

Now a days I prefer nonstick when cooking dosa and masala dosa. I use classic pans when cooking vegetables. I am not very good at cooking, but I love to learn cooking and tries to various cooking experiments and tries to make different new food items.

I love cast iron pans better. I have 2 sizes and use it alot. Teflon has worn out and I no longer have any teflon.

Cast iron by far! I won't have nonstick pans ever again. As soon as the coating begins to wear, it's dangerous to use and they don't last very long. I've had my cast iron skillets for years and they were bought second hand, so I don't know how old they really are.

I do have some stainless steel pans that I use all the time and like them, but for frying, it's cast iron.

wow i dont think ive had a cast iron pan in 30 years, they were great when camping and for breakfast's at home just season it in and wipe it out, leave the grease in and rub with a paper towel.i just find the teflon easier to clean. i have been chased around the kitchen with a cast iron pan maybe thats why i dont use them anymore. lol

i prefer the non-stick teflon...
cooking is easier because of this...
although care is needed when washing this...

I do like the cast iron pans better. Because you have to be careful with the teflon pans, if you scratch them the coating can come off. The cast iron are more expensive but do last a lot longer.
