@Gargron If you, like me, prefer a pan that you can get water on without subsequently having to use steel wool to get rust off of the pan, do not get a cast iron pan.

If you want to get fancy, watch for a sale on the Calphalon Anodized stuff, or something like that. I did that and those pans are great, last forever, and aren't fussy diva princesses pretending to be lumberjacks.
