Lots of things taste different and better when cooked in a cast iron. There should be a law that corn bread can only be baked in CI.

Griz and Wag rocks. So too smart wives.

And if camping you can put it directly on the fire. I very rarely cook with anything other than cast iron.

Many years ago I picked up a heavy, no name CI skillet at a garage sale for 50 cents. The gal said it was her grandmother's and no one wanted to ever use it. I told her I'd give it a good home. It makes a wonderful corn bread, too.

Another no name #8 skillet I got from my SIL which she found in a field after the Zenia tornado. How'd you like that coming at you at tornado wind speed? It does a great job for frying fish.

I agree, corn bread does best in cast iron. I got one of those cute "ear stick" pans - does not do so well; I think the volume per ear is too small - it bakes done before it gets a good crust....

I'm thinking to yard sale me a 4 or 6 inch ci for cornbread. . . 10 inch is too big, a single batch is too thin - and two geezers can't eat a double batch....
