They retain and distribute heat well. Also I can move it directly from my stove to my oven or vice versa
Heat retention is true but when it comes to evenness of heat distribution cast irons are not great. I remember trying out different pots and pans when I first got an induction hob with a FLIR camera and being really surprised.
Copper with stainless steel interior has the best of both worlds. However, it's nearly as heavy and very expensive.
Yep, I didn’t notice a huge difference between All Clad D5 and copper core to be honest. Certainly nothing big enough to justify the cost. The size of the hob matters more than the heat conduction of the cookware itself.
Yup. I’m an enameled cast iron guy. They just soak up heat, but they don’t distribute it well. They have high heat capacity but low conductivity.
