Hehehe!  I wasn't the only one to tell him cast iron was his answer.

That's very smart! I didn't think about it, but it does make perfect
sense. =)

Two pans doesn't make much sense to me. OTOH, cooking both sides of a
steak is an awesome thing. I used to have a contact grill that I loved -
it could cook a steak very fast with no grease splatter. It was a
beautiful thing. OTOH, I can cook up a steak pretty fast with my current
setup and it's going to look better than frying with a couple of cast
iron pans. That's just so ridiculous.
