To me, someone who celebrates a bit more of the spectrum than most: Metal hot. Make food hot.

Non-stick means easier cleanup, but my wife seems to think cast-iron is necessary for certain things (searing a prime rib roast, for example.).

After I figure those out, then I gotta figure out gas vs. electric vs. induction vs infrared…

    Probably answered below:

    All will work with induction, except for cheap aluminum nonstick pans

    I thought it was more involved than that but after a quick search online I’m wrong

      You do still need a fair amount of mass on the bottom for it to be efficient. Anything ferrous will work, though.

      Pure copper pans will not work for the same reason as aluminum.

      A very slight clarification here:

      cheap to make alumin
