I think one should learn to work with it as Nick has, not around it. One does not just turn up or down a cast iron wood stove or an open fire. We allow extra time for heating and cooling for cast iron than we do for copper skillets. Adjusting to the heat source with time, temperature and adjustments is cooking beyond a crockpot. Instantaneous changes in heat settings are not a requirement for good cooking.
