cast iron takes a little longer to heat up, but it has the best heat retention once hot. other than that they're pretty indestructable, and readily affordable. Just keep in mind that they are quite heavy for their size. Even the "pre-seasoned" pans they sell aren't as well seasoned as one you use on a constant basis. I inherited my grandmothers cast iron pan and that thing is slick! obviously from the god knows how many decades of constant use. If you want to skip all this then I seriously recommend splurging on at least one good sized le creuset pan, it has all the benefits of cast iron, without the need for seasoning. (plus since they use sand casting, each one is unique) If Im searing meat on my pan I usually just clean it with water first then, get the stuck on stuff with some coarse kosher salt or baking soda. Once you form a nice seasoning you can actually use a plastic brillo pad for cleaning, but that takes a while. I also use a half a lemon dipped in kosher salt to clean the outsides of my copper pans as it forms a nice patina.

As with anything else in life, you get what you pay for. I mean, can we really justify the existence of a Rolls-Royce Phantom?? but Im sure it's worth the $350,000 for as much technology and hand crafting it takes to build one. Sure most people could never dream of spending $200 on a pan, but if it's what you love to do? some people buy golf equipment, supe up cars, get all the latest gagetry. I buy pans and foie gras. :grin: :grin:
