Georgiana: 我过去尝试过各种各样的平底锅，但它们要么不耐用，要么不粘锅效果不好，要么就是烹饪效果不尽如人意。直到我发现了铸铁平底锅，才找到了理想的厨具。它虽然很重，需要特别的清洁方法（不能用肥皂），但它经久耐用，受热均匀，保温性能好，可以用于炉灶、烤箱甚至火上。我每天都用它来烹饪各种食物，例如煎鸡蛋、牛排和蘑菇，效果都非常好。鸡蛋煎出来不会粘锅，牛排外焦里嫩，蘑菇金黄酥脆，味道都非常棒。总之，铸铁平底锅让我的烹饪体验提升了一个档次。
Lisa: 在我看来，铸铁平底锅是最好的平底锅。它经久耐用，几乎可以使用一辈子，而且食物绝对不会粘锅。这对于那些烹饪新手或者经常遇到煎蛋粘锅问题的人来说，简直就是福音。
Anna: 起初，我对我的旧平底锅很无奈，煎个鸡蛋都困难重重，鸡蛋总是粘在锅底，翻面的时候还经常弄碎。自从用了铸铁平底锅后，一切都变了。煎鸡蛋、做牛排、煎蘑菇都变得轻而易举，而且食物的口感也比以前好太多了。现在，我已经离不开我的铸铁平底锅了，它简直就是厨房里的神器。
Georgiana: I've tried many different pans in the past, but they were either not durable, had poor non-stick performance, or simply didn't cook food well. It wasn't until I discovered cast iron skillets that I found the ideal cookware. While it's heavy and requires a special cleaning method (no soap), it's durable, heats evenly, retains heat well, and can be used on the stovetop, in the oven, or even over a fire. I use it every day to cook various foods, such as frying eggs, steak, and mushrooms, and the results are excellent. The eggs don't stick, the steak is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the mushrooms are golden brown and crispy, all tasting amazing. In short, the cast iron skillet has elevated my cooking experience.
Lisa: In my opinion, the cast iron skillet is the best pan. It's durable, it can last almost a lifetime, and food absolutely won't stick. This is a godsend for those who are new to cooking or often have problems with eggs sticking to the pan.
Anna: At first, I was frustrated with my old pan; frying an egg was a struggle, the eggs always stuck to the bottom, and they often broke when I tried to flip them. Since using a cast iron skillet, everything has changed. Frying eggs, making steak, and frying mushrooms have become easy, and the food tastes so much better than before. Now, I can't live without my cast iron skillet; it's simply a kitchen miracle.
