Ed,


Another data point re: nickel-plated cast iron cookware:  My late older brother
had a fairly large Griswold with a nickel-plated handle. Only the handle was
plated.


As a general question, would it make sense to plate the entire exterior? Would
this not tend to reflect heat?


The baked-on grunge on the interior is called "seasoning." If anyone removed
that from my favorite cast-iron cookware I'd be mad because that's the "non-
stick" coating !!!
