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.

Frittata's come to mind.  Starts stovetop then into oven to brown the
top and crisp edges.
