Why does nobody mention how long a cast iron pan takes to actually heat up?

I spent years wondering why my eggs always stuck to the pan even though I seasoned it right. Then my neighbor who cooks breakfast for a diner in Cleveland told me I was just not waiting long enough for the pan to get hot. He said put it on low for 5 minutes before turning it up, and sure enough it worked like a charm. Has anyone else been rushing their preheat this whole time?

Oh for sure, I'd put the pan on high and wonder why everything burned until I learned the low and slow trick.

Lol I once waited so long for my pan to heat up I forgot what I was cooking.
