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

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.

 Yes, or changes it.

Yep, he posted a silly youtube link about people cooking something in a huge pit dug into the ground.  It had nothing to do with the heat retention of cast iron or any other type of pan.
