Cast iron in my opinion is the best way to cook the heat spreads evenly. You can bake with these items too. Easy to clean and dry. My daughter threw away my skillet long story but I inherited it it was over 70 years old. If you take care of these which is easy they'll last a lifetime the handles may break but they're still usable. Just be careful the handles will not break.

They are a good value for the money you will spend . Anyone who is having issues with them , here's what you need to know . First , they have a rough finish , as they are pre-seasoned . What did I do ? Sanded that off . It's not terrible , and will give you that smooth finish you want . Most cast iron that you buy today comes pre-seasoned . Then I washed it with mild dish soap ( think Ivory , or Dawn ) and WARM to HOT soapy water . Dry it using non lint cloth ( cut up on old clean t-shirt ) . Then to make sure it's perfectly dry turn on a burner on medium and sit the pan on it for 5 minutes . While that's going on I also turned my oven on to 400 degrees . It's important to make sure that your pans are perfectly dry so I took the extra precaution of putting them into the oven for 10 minutes . Take them out using oven mitts , oiled them down using some clarified butter (unsalted ) making sure that I wiped down the whole pan , sides , bottom , handle , etc . Now wipe off extra oil put the pans into the oven upside down and bake for one hour . Also put them on the middle rack and line the bottom rack with tinfoil . Repeat the oiling down process and baking process 2 more times . You now have a base seasoning , and a smooth surface . It will now clean up really easy . To do that , run the pan under hot water , will it's hot , NEVER use cold water ,( it will crack ) , use a wooden spoon to scrape off any food , use a lint free cloth ( piece of clean old cut up t-shirt ) , to dry it and stick it on a turned on burner or turned on oven for 5 minutes . That's it . When cast iron heats up it is self cleaning , also it won't rust . Over time you will get the black patina that you want . Then you can even cook acidic foods like tomato-based sauces in it .

So good! Don’t hesitate and just get them. Adds iron to the food.Avoid washing these for the first many uses. Just clean with the hot oil, or rinse and then dry with a paper towel.Enjoy!

These are decent pans, but not the highest quality. However, being a little lighter can be a plus. I use use them for camping, and I can also hang them from my kitchen ceiling rack without them tearing down my ceiling. They heat evenly, and stay hot for a long time.Make sure you go through the seasoning process a few times before using them. Also, when buying cast iron pans, check the dimensions. The bottom of the pan is not the same diameter as the top, and the measurement when including the pouring spout/lip is misleading. The actual cooking surface of the pan can be over an inch less than the advertised size

The media could not be loaded. A esta compra le doy un 9/10. Primero porque en las especificaciones el vendedor te explica al final de todo te pone que debes cuidar el sartén pero no “el cómo cuidar el sartén con palabras claras, y esto me parece que le sumaría a sus ventas, yo no usaría la palabra semi-curado para la descripción. Pero también me parece que los clientes deben de orientarse y saber más acerca de un producto antes de comprarlo, conocer lo que van a comprar y más si es como en mi caso, que yo nunca había utilizado sartén de hierro fundido, decidí buscar algunos vídeos de YouTube y ver cuáles eran la mejor opción y está para mí es la opción #1 si se trata de cuidar la salud familiar.CUIDADO DEL SARTÉN QUE APRENDÍ:Para usar este sartén debe saber que cuando lo recibe viene semi-curado, semi-curado quiere decir que ya viene con “una capa de aceite horneado carbonizado”, por ese se ve un poco brilloso, y viene listo para usarse o si desea puede meterlo al horno y ponerlo de 200 a 250*C en el horno para que cure al 100%, entonces cuando lo usas la primera ves, inclusive la 2da. Y lo lavas la esponja se ensucia bastante como si votara material negro del sartén, eso solo pasa la 1era y 2da ocasión. Entonces para poder cuidar el sartén, debes de fregarlo luego de que cocines, lo dejas enfriar obviamente, pero luego que lo friegas debes secarlo con una toalla de microfibra que sea suave y no vote pelusas, entonces cuando ya queda seco, le hechas un poco de aceite una cantidad considerable que te dé para frotar por dentro y por fuera y hasta el puño del sartén y para regar el aceite por todos lados puedes hacerlo con servilletas o toalla de papel, esto debe hacerse cada ves que use el sartén.Entonces básicamente “la curación del sartén”, es hacer eso de lavarlo, secarlo y hecharle aceite por dentro y por fuera, y así siempre quedará con su revestimiento de aceite, si haces lo contrario y lo friegas y dejas secar al aire pues se te pondrán unas líneas como de óxidado que se ve bastante, si esto te pasó puedes lavarlo nuevamente, luego secarlo y de una ves aplicar el aceite, preferiblemente aceite de oliva o aceite de aguacate. Otro dato es que para mí en lo personal para freír huevos o hacer tortillas no es muy bueno, es mejor uno de cerámica.

i love these cast iron pans!! ive been using them for a few months now and i have no complaints. great set of cast iron pans

Perfect sizes not too heavy. But it smells like it’s rusty😳.I did wash and seasoned the pan. But it still smells like rust. I might be sending it back

These are pretty good, especially for the price. The pans are heavy, and pretty easy to clean. Purchased for my mother-in-law to help with iron deficiency. The thought is that similarly to those small iron fish they sell- cooking with these pans will release a small amount of iron (you can’t even taste it) which helps naturally raise iron levels. Comes with a good variety of sizes, and heats evenly. Keep in mind that the handle gets warm as well- and you may need to use a towel/pot holder when holding the pans to protect your hands.
