I cook those things too. Most people do. You can't cook these things

Nobody said that is the only way to cook them. You challenged Carol to
name one dish that people would cook in a pain that retains heat.

She said that people down South cook with heat retention. Obviously
that's not true. You could cook a roast by turning a very hot oven off
and letting the oven coast for an hour or so but that has nothing to do
with the pan. If I was cooking a steak or pork chop or pancakes, I don't
turn the heat off and just leave stuff in the pan. You don't do that
either.

You are deliberately overlooking to context.... cast iron frying pans.
You heat them up and slap a piece of meat on and the give a good sear
without the temperature of metal dropping. Aluminum will heat up very
quickly, but if you apply a large piece of meat it cools way down. That
is why cast iron is so good for browning.

That's not true at all. I can sear a steak in an aluminum or carbon
steel pan that'll make your head spin around. It will cook faster than
in any of your cast iron pans. Beats the heck out of me why you'd make
such a misleading statement. You're a slave to dogma, ignorance, and
your desire to be one of the rfc gang.

I use carbon steel and cast iron but when I want a perfect steak or
fried fish or chicken breast - the carbon steel always wins out. And a
bonus is that it will surrender heat when you need it to - cast iron
just incinerates onward.

Otoh, for cornbread - gimme my cast iron every time.

My guess is that you've never cooked a steak in an aluminum or carbon
steel pan. OTOH, I don't recommend that you try to sear a steak in an
aluminum pan. You'll just end up hurting yourself or the pan - but
mostly the pan

The truth is that I was never been a big fan of aluminum pans, my high
temperature cooking would cause them to warp. My search for pans has
been extensive. At this point in time, I'm using aluminum pans that
allow me to cook at high temperatures without warping. I'm not sure why
that is. Near as I can tell, the construction/manufacturing is
different.
rfc'ers can use whatever they want. It's not a concern of mine.
