I love all the dual purposes you have thought of! ;^D
And I also love my cast iron: I have a set (two skillets and a flat grill) inherited from my late mother-in-law, who inherited it from her mother who inherited it from her mother-in-law, which makes it at the very least a hundred and fifteen years old. It is sturdy and smoother than modern "non-stick" surfaces, and true to her teaching I never touch it with detergent or scrubbers. I use it a LOT!
There was a third skillet, but my sister-in-law got that one, and then it was lost in Hurricane Katrina.
