How are cast iron and carbon steel similar?
Is one easier to maintain than the other?
It depends on the specific application and use case, but generally speaking, carbon steel requires more maintenance than cast iron. Carbon steel is more prone to rust and corrosion, so it needs to be cleaned and oiled regularly to prevent oxidation. Cast iron, on the other hand, is more resistant to corrosion and can be seasoned with oil to create a nonstick surface that requires less maintenance.
