My cast iron cookware became a display. Cast iron is quite heavy. My
wrists actually hurt after using it. With all the light weight cookware
with non-stick coating, I retired the cast iron to a display around the
large wall-sized bookcase in the dining room and fireplace in the living
room! Looks great!
Besides I don't fry anything. I use glass cookware in the microwave oven
and stainless steel cookware on the stove. (If you think it is too
expensive, I bought one pan at a time and have used it over 20 years!) No
fuss. No mess!
