A pan that takes a long time to reach temperature and remains hot
after you turn off the heat source makes no sense at all to me. I
suppose it could work if you have an unreliable heat source like a
wood fire or hot coals. Cast iron would make a lot of sense if
you're camping or in the aftermath of WWIII which, according to
the Donald, is imminent. I better start looking for my CI pan. I
ain't dumb!

 
Thus speaketh ignorance.  Live happily in ignorance David.  You are
determined to.

 
Wow, I wasn't expecting that from you, Carol!  Cast iron isn't
everyone's cup of tea, but my 8-inch cast iron skillet is a must-have
for baking a "skillet" of cornbread.  Oh, and the cast iron cornstick
pans are fun. :)
 
Ditto the porcelainized cast iron pots with lids (Descoware) one of
which I use to make chili.  And a large Descoware skillet with a lid
which is great for slow simmering spaghetti sauce.

Allegedly, Julia Child loved Descoware.
 
Oh, and yes, you can use any of it to cook on a grill over coals in
case of an extended power outage.  Handy stuff!

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.
