can be a bitch to clean

Responses:

They do offer more even heating due to their density. -- nm - Ender Jun 6, 18:31 3
- It seems that the saute pans are able to withstand more heat than the skillets (450 as opposed to 340). - kelly Jun 6, 18:37 2
  - (never mind) - kelly Jun 6, 18:42 1
    - Most of the heat variances I've seen relate to handle material on other than cast iron pans. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jun 6, 18:53
Not really, I've just heard people rave about cooking in them - they can be thrown into the oven, etc. - kelly Jun 6, 18:31 2
- I love my cast iron pans. I'm a big fan of cooking with them. -- nm - Krusty Jun 6, 19:02 1
  - Me too. They are just as good as non-stick and you get iron -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 6, 19:23
some say to never clean them. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 18:29 3
- Yes, you never wash it. You just wipe it down with a paper towel when it's cool. Washing it bad for a cast iron pan. - Krusty Jun 6, 19:01 2
  - We wash with just water and everything comes off. Then you dry on low heat and add a tablespoon of oil to re-coat -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 6, 19:23 1
    - You're right, you can and it's not difficult. I haven't yet. I've got some wonderful flavors coming out of it right now. Things taste so great. - Krusty Jun 6, 19:41
