Hi Friend!
How necessary is it to have an iron skillet in your experience? And is it a bitch to take care of?

I'm sure you could use any skillet - I would guess if you're using non-stick that you could even use a little less oil.

That said, there are certain things I LOVE my cast-iron skillet for. And once you've got it seasoned, it's actually really easy to keep clean!
