As for cooking cast iron could be called the (Green) equipment because it holds heat so well.
Thusly using less energy to keep it hot.
Think of cast iron as a lake holding water and aluminum as a water fall.
It is absolutely the best thing you can use on a glass top stove for cooking.
I have set a cast iron dutch oven on the stove on low and went to bed just like you would a crock pot.

As for when I say here I mean tomatoville.

But how long does it take to pre heat it up to a good cooking temp? I know I will never be able to use my one piece because it has a textured bottom and needs flame (good for the grill though) but regular pans? I have three kids, I can't have it sitting there hot for an hour before I even start cooking. (they use the stove like a counter and have melted various plastic things on it just after I used it and turned it off, razor blades are good for cool plastic too btw )
