Bought this thinking it would be great like other items I purchased. Very disappointed in this. Showed rusting after first use and everything sticks to it. I've used cast iron for years and never had a peice do like this one. Would not recommend

I've have been using this skillet three times a month for two months now. I'm single and love to cook but this immense skillet is capable of double batching many of my own and others recipes. I then vacuum pack portions for myself. FYI, the first thing you should do with a new cast iron skillet is deep fry anything in it. this act alone opens the pores in the iron and allows the oil to penetrate. It is not required to season it after every use but I do it every time I use it. The payoff for me is not being able to see any pores inside and one slick finish. I recommend this skillet to those that want to take the time to properly maintain it. If you have problems with it you're doing something wrong.

I priced cast iron skillets before deciding on this brand and it was fairly priced. I read the reviews and was hesitant but went ahead and ordered it anyway. Item was packaged well, no damage to outer or inner packaging, no damage to item. I followed the directions and used it the same evening to make rib eye steaks. I seared the steaks in olive oil for about 4 minutes each side and then let them cook to medium well. They were delicious, easy clean up, no sticking, no after taste. I like that the skillet is already pre-seasoned,clear, easy directions on how to maintain the seasoning, season again when necessary and how to wash/dry/store skillet. This item is exceptional quality especially for the price and I highly recommend it.

Love having a lid

Good purchase

Amazing to cook with!

Absolutely love this cast iron frying pan! Cleans up beautifully even after roasting a chicken in it. The only thing I do after using it is a reapply of oil inside the frying pan and she is ready to go again.

Very disappointed with the quality. This is a very low-end, cheaply, quickly made piece of cast iron with a fancy name on the box. I guess you get what you pay for, so I'll give it two stars since it was only $35.00.

This pan is great for feeding you, your spouse, your 2.5 children, the neighbors, and your friends from out of town that dropped in for the weekend! A quick note that some hand sanding and re-seasoning is highly recommended. As with all new cast iron, this one is a little rough. Also, your basic kitchen burner won't accommodate this. So, go ahead and set all those trees in your backyard alight! 1/2 an acre ought to do it! Happy cooking, y'all!

From the packaging to the product we are so happy with this! Can't wait to cook with it! Beautiful finish!
