well for one cast iron has a tendency to do this. cast iron maybe strong but also can be brittle. also enamel pans also can cause coatings to crack. its not the high heat that does it its the heat on a dry pan always should at least put a little olive oil or even butter in there first.
Huh? I have heated dry cast iron in the oven to 500+°F with no issues, as well as my LeCreuset dutch ovens on a stovetop to sear meat. I have never seen the cracking issues you describe.
