I was going to ask what could cause cast iron to break or crack, but I visited your link and found it VERY informative. I never would have guessed that cast iron was so brittle! That is definitely good information to have, should I decide to go that route for cookware. I have to say, I'm taking much more interest in this than I originally anticipated; thank you Belial for making this thread!
