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.
