Cast iron skillets are the best; so glad I found a couple in the homeware store just down the road. Not only are they – contrary to popular belief – easy to maintain (just rub with rapeseed oil or similar and heat to season and use hot water and a towel to clean) but they also add iron into your diet… magic! ;)
Oh, and the more you use them, the more non-stick they become.
I cooked eggs on mine today and I’d only seasoned it twice and used it once before; it’s already beautifully non-stick.
@aral Yes, this! I nice skillet is a true buy-it-once purchase, and it genuinely works better than any fancier skillet.
And yes, maintenance is dead simple: use it, then wipe it clean. I guarantee our ancestors didn't spend days looking for the perfect seasoning method.
@jollyrogue @aral Yep. It's not exactly high tech. 
For example, this is what I'd recommend people start with: https://www.lodgecastiron.com/product/round-cast-iron-classic-skillet?sku=L10SK3
$28 is a great price for a skillet, let alone a really good one you'll have forever.
@jollyrogue @aral Oh, and get a metal spatula/scraper to use with it.
