The internet is becoming a joke.
I appreciate that it’s minimal in functionality, but times changes and slop infiltrates every single platform, HN no exception
Heavy isn’t bad, we could all do with a bit of exercise. Easier to clean and maintain I disagree with, if you’re willing to do a bit of work up front.
Also well seasoned cast iron is dishwasher safe, there is very little you can do to kill a cast iron pan.
If you don't mind waiting half an hour for it to heat up. (semi-/s)
There are plenty of times where you do not need or want the heat capacity of cast iron, and it's actually a 'con' for the dish. Never mind that you don't really want to cook anything that's acidic (e.g., tomatoes) in it.
Certainly having cast iron in your tool box isn't a bad idea, but stainless steal has all sorts of other advantages. And if you want something less sticky but still responsive, there's also carbon steal.
But I think AllClad has switched to sealed-rims on their pans, thus making them truly dishwasher-safe?
But, uh, I have All Clad pots and pans and still like them. The bottoms warped on a couple so I replaced them with other brands.
In general they hold up well when hand-washed.
The handles are terrible though. Maybe it's a UX nudge to always use a pot holder?

I’ve started doing a lot more research when buying things because of this. It seems like every pot and pan does this, not just All-Clad.
