I have a cast iron pan that was given to me, never used, unseasoned and rusted. I put half a bottle of lemon juice on it, let it sit ad tried to wipe it clean, repeatedly. No go, not a bit. The rust wins, the pan is in the Goodwill box. I'm sticking with Calphalon and Swiss Diamond.I was never cut out to be a pioneer.
I find only limited use for cast iron myself, melting sugar for one (either flan, pineapple upside down cake, peanut brittle) for example. But anyone who has ever cooked tomato sauce in cast iron knows it strips everything out. Tomato is also acid. The key is to heat the acid. Vinegar works better than lemon juice (and is cheaper) but tomato sauce clings. But like you, I dare anyone to get between me and my non-stick cookware!!
