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.

 Clad stainless steel.  I can put it in the dishwasher.  I never seem
to need anything that retains heat after moving it off the burner.
 I have some cast iron frying pans.  There were relegated to the
basement a few years ago.
 

There's a reason cast iron has been around for so long.

 Because casting is an easy way to form metal.
 

Cheap too!  At least the Lodge and similar.  There seems to be a couple of brand that have very high prices.  I'm curious how well they work and what makes them so costly.  My curiosity stops at much lower that $200 though.
