Stainless steel generally does not react with cast iron when in contact. However, it is best to avoid prolonged contact between the two materials to prevent any potential corrosion issues. It is recommended to use a barrier, such as oil or grease, between the stainless steel and cast iron surfaces to minimize any potential reactions.

Cast iron holds heat longer compared to glass, copper, stainless steel.
Good quality stainless steel should never rust. I have noticed that the high iron content in our water causes red particles of iron oxide to remain on stainless steel vessels - and it looks exactly like rust but its just the iron in the water drying out on the stainless steel.
Yes, iron will react with oxygen to produce iron oxide, commonly known as rust. This process occurs in the presence of water or moisture, which accelerates rust formation on iron surfaces.
The four main elements in stainless steel are iron, chromium, nickel, and carbon. These elements interact to provide stainless steel with its unique properties such as corrosion resistance, strength, and durability.

A good substitute for a cast iron skillet is a stainless steel skillet.
Cast iron if you know how to season it propperly. Cast iron is also naturally non-stick and caries flavor soo well! Stainless if you don't mind high fat cooking and sticking.

Yes if its cast iron or stainless steel.
pig iron, wrought iron and cast iron. These are broad classifications used commercially, they can be subclassified. Chemically we say that its pure or impure, contains sulphur/phosphorous/impurities(slag, etc.)/carbon in so and so % range

It corrodes badly.
Both stainless steel and cast iron are good choices. The only thing that wears on stainless are plastic handles. As for cast iron, it can be handed down for generations and still be perfectly usable.
In some cases yes. If the stainless steel was not passified (removing iron particles left on stainless steel by contact with tool steel dies) with nitric or sulfuric acid then yes.
