Umm, Jill I've posted so many times on my cast iron pans including
cooking for fun in the fireplace here.  Mine gets used 3-4 times a week
though less for the cast iron ovens due to being hard for me to lift
now.

Umm, Carol, I was reacting to your reply to David (dsi1) and his
comments about cast iron.  He sounds about as ill educated about heat
conduction and multi-faceted uses of cast iron as Sheldon.

I had not bothered to engage him on that. There are things I like about
cast iron. Among them are being able to get them smoking hot that they
retain heat. They don't suddenly cool off when you through a slab of
meat in. The cast iron is my pan of choice for pancakes.

Sometimes you need cookware that will retain the heat after you move it
off the burner.  Or something that can go from stovetop into the oven.
There's a reason cast iron has been around for so long.

That's like saying that sometimes you need a car that doesn't brake so
good.
