this thread is pretty difficult to navigate so I apologize if I'm repeating something. I'm a pretty big steak newb but just bought a couple ny strips to cook tonight. what should I do if I dont have a cast-iron skillet? I have a cheap non-stick skillet from safeway that looks like this:
and a really old pan that I cant even find a comparable picture of, but something like this but much less shiny:
will searing at v high temp on either of these (my default would be the non-stick pan) be a bad idea?
