LOL! I'm seeing a trend here!

I have cast iron everything else, just not a biggie deepish frying pan, the kind with a lid.

Thanks for your opinions! Keep them coming!

Cast Iron.
I use my cast iron pans for everything except spaghetti sauce and soup.

My stainless steel pans have been disappearing...I use my cast EXCLUSIVELY now, and the stainless are just my "spares." I cook everything under the sun in my cast, and love it. So, that is why I picked cast iron personally.

Cast iron if you can safely lift it. But do not mail-order; test-drive one in a store. A biiiiiig cast-iron skillet is too heavy/ungainly for some folks.

Yeh, Pat... My big one is really hard to lift LOL. But it's SO worth it...

You'd laugh watching me with towels on my hands, trying to balance its weight while tipping it to pour food into a dish
