David, most of the talk is about heat retention and how useful

Americans don't cook with heat retention. Hawaiians, on the other
hand, certainly do.

Anything in a dutch oven.

Absolutely but I don't know of any 'dutch ovens' that aren't made of
cast iron though someone might be passing off some paultry thing that
isn't a real dutch oven as one.  I've seen flimsy stuff of aluminium
(counter top) that are radically different.  No heat from cast iron lid
or from sides.  Those are [roperly called countertop roasting pans, in
my books.
