My grandma's cast iron skillet vs my fancy nonstick pan - the old one won

I tried to make grilled cheese last week with my new nonstick pan and it stuck like crazy. Cheese got all over and the bread burned in 45 seconds. Pulled out my grandma's old cast iron skillet from the 70s, put some butter in it, and the sandwich came out perfect in 3 minutes. The cast iron just holds heat way better and doesn't warp. Has anyone else ditched their new cookware for an old hand-me-down?

Cast iron fixed your problem because it actually holds heat instead of flexing like cheap nonstick pans.
