Check out Amazon dot com for some pretty good deals on Lava brand cast iron cookware. Prices seem very reasonable and I believe it's made in Turkey.
ETA -- also check out Lodge cast iron cookware. Very reasonable prices and some have over 1,000 reviews, some 4+ stars.

I'm in the market for a 10" cast iron skillet and I've decided on Lodge. It's made in the USA and it's excellent cookware. I have a Lodge skillet in a smaller size and love it, but now I need the larger 10" size for other recipes.

ShopHQ (formerly ShopNBC) has a line of enameled cast iron cookware. They had a set of frying pans as the Today's Top Value a few weeks ago and I bought them. I've only used them once, but so far I'm impressed.

But do you get the same flavor?
I remember using my cast iron pan all the time -- until the doctor told me my iron levels were too high and to stop.

Coffee Drinker-Thanks for the post about Lava cast iron. I use cast iron daily. A lot of people are a little snobbish about imported pieces. I am not. I love cast iron but there is definitely a learning curve. Many pieces are sold as 'pre-seasoned', some people might think that means, 'non-stick'. It is NOT the same thing. Seasoning is the process of building a coating on the cookware, this will become non-stick over time. Cast iron can not be put in the dishwasher or kept in a humid environment. It will rust. There are plenty of good videos on YouTube on cast iron care. Once you get used to it, it's great. It makes a great crust to baked goods. A covered Dutch oven makes great Artisan style bread. The best fried chicken, etc. It is heavier than other cookware, but will take high heat and is induction compatible.
Now, excuse me, every time I see a post by Coffee Drinker-I want some!

Does anyone know if you can use cast iron or the enamel cast iron on a smooth top stove?

From the reviews that I've read on other websites. You CAN use cast iron on glass top stoves but you have to be careful. If you slide them or put them down hard, they can damage the cooktop.

I don't have one (I have the old coil-burner electric stove), but this is exactly what I've heard too.
