Lines: 10 Why haven't I seen anyone mention my favorite type of pan - cast iron? These require little maintenance, are practically non-stick (when properly seasoned, although I have yet to see one that won't stick to scrambled eggs - omelettes are another story), save on dishwashing detergent (I only use hot water and a plastic scrubbie), and are very inexpensive. Rumor has it that the iron in the pan is actually good for you, but I have yet to hear from a real nutritional chemist whether or not your body can absorb iron this way. /gary cottrell rochester!gary gary@rochester
