    Beef Cuts

    Is there any real difference in taste and tenderness between the different cuts of meat. Like between a Fillet Mignon and a Rib Eye or even a t-bone? What are the differences?

    Skillets

    Does it matter whether a skillet is a non-stick or a cast iron skillet? And is there really a difference between a standard $12-$20 iron skillet and a $180 cast iron skillet? Or will any kind of skillet do for cooking basically anything? Thanks in advance
