There's a special appeal to food cooked in a cast-iron pan. Whether it's the thickness and even heat distribution of cast iron, or the "natural" seasoning that builds up and is stable at high temperatures (unlike Teflon), or the fact that it goes from stovetop to oven to table with rustic style, there's something about cast iron that just tastes better - more satisfying.

A large Le Creuset lidded casserole might set you back $300, but your dinner will be roasted perfectly and you can color coordinate the pot to your kitchen in white, lemongrass, cherry red, cassis, kiwi, dune or Dijon.

New in equipment Cast iron isn't just for Dutch ovens anymore. Lodge Cast Iron, which operates the nation's only cast iron cookware manufacturing plant, has come out with three "mini-servers" for cooks, be they at camp or at home. The 12-ounce serving bowl, 10-ounce square server and 1-quart serving dish can be used to prepare meals or side dishes. They keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold.
