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.
 

IMHO, David often overlooks or distorts the context.  He's becoming the new Sheldon. LOL
