<You claim that studies contradict my claims about iron pan safety, but many reputable sources support it as a safe choice for cooking. The alleged leaching of iron into food is not harmful; in fact, some nutrients from the cast-iron surface can be beneficial. Your argument regarding bacterial growth on seasoned pans lacks credibility since proper maintenance eliminates such risks effectively. While steel may have its advantages, including durability and ease of cleaning, these benefits do not outweigh the unique properties offered by iron cookware which enhances flavors through better heat retention and uniformity in searing meats or sautéing vegetables compared to their stainless-steel counterparts. Ultimately, choosing between steel pans and cast-iron skillets comes down to personal preference rather than a clear winner based solely on factual evidence.>
