Oooh, yeah! Cast iron is also excellent for things like popcorn which really cook a lot better with a nice even temperature. You can also often pick them up at the thrift store, although probably not around here since people understand their value a bit better.<br>

however a well treated cast iron frying pan works just fine for this<br>
application both from the induction perspective, and due to the fact<br>
that that's how it was done 100 years ago.<br>
<br>
any respectable steam punk should have a proper sand cast frying pan<br>
laying around.<br>
