I do all the stuff in cast iron that you just ain't suppose to do. 
I have a really small skillet that I use for cornbread for 2 to 3. A medium skillet for cornbread for 4 or 5. A larger square skillet for frying bacon, cooking major cornbread, or whatever else. A super large round skillet for frying chicken, baking hams, etc. 2 large kettles for cooking chilli, soups, stews. 2 Dutch ovens that seldom get used for much around here except frying fish outside. A muffin pan. I think thats it.
I really want to experiment with my dutch ovens with coals. Just never have.
I also, do the big no-no and use soap to wash with on occasion. I think the biggest problem that most people have with cast iron is not using it enough. I use mine all the time so it never has time to rust. Once its washed it is set on a low temp setting on the stove to dry good. Actually right this very minute DH is building a rabbit stew in a cast iron pot.
Edited to add: I forgot my two most important cooking pots that I use to cook beans, peas, etc.

My cast iron. Iam very fortunate I inherited mine, so they are well seaoned.My large chicken fryer came all the way from my great grandmother. All my other piece where my grandmothers, except for my dutch oven that was my aunts and a corn bread pan that was a girlfriends, so all the pieces have history and are very special to me.
I have hinted a couple times if shes not using them I'll take them back. But I don't think she will give them up.
