Pros: Gorgeous looking. Great for those times when you are broiling or going over 500 degrees
Cons: Cast Iron has a tendency to chip. Expensive. Too heavy to maneuver easily
Summary: Cast Iron is the heaviest of all materials used in cookware. This was how people cooked in the 1800's when stoves and ranges were big contraptions and you needed something heavy to use on the fire you just built. Le Creuset has modernized the basic ... read more

Pros: You never cooked better.
Cons: Expensive and require some care.
