Anybody else here into carbon steel or cast iron pans ? This is my daily-driver, mostly used for eggs. Trying to get away from Teflon and “forever chemicals”. Seasoned like cast iron, nearly “non-stick” when used properly.
When my wife first got pregnant a decade ago I went crazy and threw out anything that wasn't cast iron or steel. Minus the big carbon steel wok that is used 90% of the time, here's our pots and pans.

Nice, I still have some pans that I should toss, but my wife can’t cook without them, and doesn’t want to learn either :-(. It was a little tough to switch at first, but now I don’t think I can go back.

I buy Revere Ware SS 50's - 70's when I see it at flea markets. Fairly thick stainless with a copper type bottom. You can still buy the handles/knobs so they turn out looking new with a liittle SS polish. A Tramontina non stick for eggs. Not had any experience with cast iron, always looked like too much of a pain in the ass.

Carbon steel wok used daily. I prefer stainless for most other cooking. I tried a carbon steel skillet a couple years ago but it didn't seem to heat that evenly and scorched effortlessly.
