I got my share of cast iron.
No name cast iron 9" frying pan that is 3 generations old. A 10" my neighbor gave me that was a wedding gift to her 40 years ago. She also gave me a 5 qt dutch oven.
I also have a 4 qt and a 6qt Lodge camp dutch oven with the feet and flanged lid. I can make a mean pinapple upside down cape in them.
The only cast iron pan that I really didn't like was the grill pan I bought on a whim because I missed having a grill. It's PITA to clean after using.
One of my favorite dishes is pan fried steak with a shallot and cream sherry sauce. Cream sherry or marsala fortified wine can really wow a dish for me.
