I've got a T-Fal for the eggs and making onions and such, a Wok (tho I think it's tefloned, so not really a real wok) for making cut up bits of things that need to be cooked (chicken, etc), a nice enameled pan from like... 1975 my MIL gave me as a wedding gift, and a HUGE cast iron skillet that was my grandmother's....

Apparently, however, I missed the boat on "how to cook things in cast iron," guess I"m not from the right generation. Is there a web resource or a cookbook that talks more about how to cook properly with cast iron? I end up getting things very, very well done because I'm not sure how much oil to add or I underestimate how hot the pan is or I just plain cook it too long because I'm so used to using Teflon pans on Medium heat!
