They are stainless steel and I sort of hate them... But they do the trick. When I bought them, it came w/ a hefty cast iron pan but I actually gave it to my brother becasue I have never used cast iron.... He recently told me I really should take it back as it rocks and would be a great option for me since I don't have a grill but this pan sort of has teh grill marks for the bottom surface if that makes any sense?<br /><br />In my dream world, I would have All-Clad pans, but they cost an arm & a leg, and I kind of like having all of my appendages... and I would also like a gas stove instead of my stupid flat top electric one... but oh well. Not about to go out & drop a lot of money on a stove when mine works fine enough...Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-82768392760960402742010-08-05T09:44:40.842-05:002010-08-05T09:44:40.842-05:00I'm a stainless steel girl.

I'm a little OCD about my dishes, so a seasoned pan doesn't really do me well.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17525087764266187574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-46814570145892389122010-08-05T09:32:04.092-05:002010-08-05T09:32:04.092-05:00I love my cast iron!

I have a dutch oven, a big skillet, and a little skillet that my parents gave me- they and my grandparents both had full sets and once my parents combined households with my grandparents to take care of them, I got a lot of nice surplus kitchen stuff. I don't cook in them all that often though b/c they are really heavy and I already have a couple really nice pots (they're the double layer kind- it's hard to burn anything in those things.)<br />But don't be too envious, I have the absolute worst knives on the face of the planet.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03408929681739560085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-77708093718637264942010-08-05T09:19:17.220-05:002010-08-05T09:19:17.220-05:00I'm so checking out that World Market Explorer...I'm so checking out that World Market Explorer, wine discounts are fabulous!<br />My mom has a few cast iron pots. I think they are well worth it and they are awesome to cook with! It's too bad you can't have another shower for your anniversary after X number of years so you can receive gifts from a registry again, like towels, pots, sheets, etc!<br />Here we have flea markets, antique shows and yard sales I wonder if you would be able to find them in any of those venues and maybe save a little $$Charbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12023222309412936172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457833116563861494.post-10227910064527817812010-08-05T08:55:44.380-05:002010-08-05T08:55:44.380-05:00I don't have any cast iron pans but have thoug...I don't have any cast iron pans but have thought I should get at least one sometime.
