Where can I buy them cheap! doesn't seem to be any on trademe either. Cheapest I've found is about $40 for a 13cm pan.

Briscoes, Farmers, Stevens (although they might be pricey).

briscoes, farmers and stevens are not pricey. When you say "pans" do you mean fry pans, sauce pans!

yes fry pans, didn't think enameled ones would be so expensive :(

k mart have them

I saw found one on the Briscoes site for $40 for a 25cm.

Now I'm thinking, should I buy a normal cast iron pan and season it, or should I spend a bit more for an enameled one! Any opinions!

and what oil should I be using to season it! I read I should avoid vegetable oil.

If I was buying cast iron I'd go for the enamelled but I wouldn't buy a very big one - they are heavy enough when they're empty, just imagine what they'd be like full of food - I could barely lift it
