Hi Jill,

I think the problem here may be definition of 'cast iron'. There is
true full on cast iron, and there is stuff with coated botoms and
enameled. (call it thin layer of cast iron samwiched between stuff).

The layered stuff can easily be fine. The full on 'just cast iron' may
be problematic? No direct experience, but its not the total 'no' that
the earliest versions were.
