I use a newish Lodge Logic frying pan. I own a few older mirror smooth frying pans. I like the old ones better, for aesthetics. They are beautiful, compared to the new Lodge pan. The new Lodge pan is easier to keep seasoned. Food doesn't stick to it more. The new pan was cheap. Just go to almost any store that sells cookware. No scavenger hunt on the internet required. Much of what is said about cast iron cookware is not true. Feel free to experiment and test what you are told.
