I like cast iron. It heats very evenly, is practically nonstick, lasts forever, and I needs it, precious.
But it is heavy. Some of my pans require two hands to lift, and there are times when I want move them while stirring.
I need a titanium stick, slightly bowed, with a big U at one end and little
u at the other. Embedded in the little u, like the little end of a big taco, is a silicon heat-proof pad.
When you grab the handle of the pot with the pad, the little u rests under the base of the handle where it is attached to the pan. The big U fits against your hip. Now you can get your hip into the action of lifting and moving the skillet while you stir.
