That's a good question. I just switched from various teflon skillets - they
just can't take the heat - to all cast iron. I'd forgotten the taste of
scrambled eggs cooked in cast iron. TI'm sure it's not cooking temperature
or evenness of heat. They have a better flavor. Maybe you've put your finger
on it - a little iron gets in.
