My mother swore by her cast iron skillets, but it wasn't until a few years ago that I discovered the pleasure of cooking in cast iron myself, and I have to admit that I L.O.V.E it.  When properly seasoned and maintained they are the best non-stick cookware you'll find,   and cleanup is seriously a cinch -- just scrape off the cooked on bits with your spatula, scraper, or a spoon, wipe clean with a paper towel, and only wash with soap and water if you absolutely have to. Then apply a thin coat of cooking oil before you put it away to keep it from rusting, and you're done.  The only other care it needs is a quick reconditioning every few months (less often if you don't wash it with soap and water, more often if you do).
