If it's your first pan, don't buy nonstick. A nonstick pan is great for some uses—French omelettes, light and fluffy pancakes, super-delicate fish—but a stainless pan is far more versatile. You can heat it hotter, giving you a better sear. It's also superior for developing fond—the flavorful browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan after searing that form the base of any number of pan sauces.

When it comes to cleaning cast iron stove top griddles, it's important to handle them with care. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the pan's surface. Instead, simply wipe the griddle clean with a damp cloth and then dry it thoroughly before storing. Over time, the seasoning on the griddle will build up, giving it a natural non-stick coating that will make future cleanups even easier.

In addition to their exceptional cooking properties, high-end cast iron skillets are also extremely durable. With proper care and maintenance, these skillets can last for generations, making them a great investment for any kitchen. Unlike non-stick pans that can wear out and lose their coating over time, cast iron skillets only get better with age as they develop a natural seasoning that enhances the flavor of food.
