I love cast iron..
Got some stainless steel..
Some non-stick..
I lost my cast iron in the midst of moving...Ahhhhhhh!..
Keep them seasoned and you have a great frying pan..
You can do other things besides cook with them..
Bear in the yard?.....Bang a metal cup on the frying pan..
Cat`s on the kitchen counter? ..
Give-em one upside the head with the frying pan..PONG!..
They`ll never do that again!..
