Dollars. Getting rid of the pans sounds like a nightmare as does all the people telling you you’re seasoning them wrong/modern ones can be washed because our soap doesn’t have lye in it/etc.
In my experience, all of those people can be safely ignored. My cast iron pan is my lowest maintenance kitchen thing. After cooking, I just wipe it out with a paper towel and we’re good to go.
It’s a lump of iron that you have to try to fuck up to make it irreparable. Whoever formed the church of perfect cast iron maintenance needs to take a chill pill
