  Enameled cast iron is like magic.
  Worst case I let it soak for a bit and it comes out clean with just a brush in a minute.

  The trick is to use wooden spoons to prevent scratching. Egg sticks to the scratches and forces you to make more scratches as you attempt to scrape it off.

    This puts me off it. I like to be able to use metal tools on my pans

    The trick is to use any cast iron, carbon steel, stainless and heat the pan then add oil before cooking. zero stick when done after heating

      Doesn’t work though if I want to fry something with little or even without oil, which I do on occasion.

        Yeah unfortunately. I wish we can have pans with built-in temperature sensors

      I have a 12 inch stainless steel pan, i preheat it and then add oil but some amount of sticking is inevitable, especially around the edges where ever the food isn’t touching the surface of the pan, the oil burns and polymerises on the pan and it’s a pain to remove, even with barkeepers friend, that’s why I got a 10 inch ceramic hard anodized aluminum pan for cooking eggs and small quantities of foods. I just use the big pan when cooking in bulk now.

    I generally use either wood or plastic when cooking with an anti stick pan (although, supposedly ceramic coating can take more of a beating than teflon).
