They don't make cast-iron like they used to, but this skillet is great. It comes unseasoned, but that's easily remedied. First, wash the new skillet with soap and water to remove the packing wax. Then buy a small tub of pure lard (don't use thin oil), wipe it all over the inside and outside of the skillet (except for the very bottom), put it on a cookie sheet right-side-up and bake it at 200 degrees for 3 hours (the lower temp for a longer time allows it to penetrate better). Wipe out the excess oil, then when completely cool, wipe it again, and you're done! I store my oil in it and just scrape the bottom clean before each use (to remove old batter pieces that will burn). I have one deep skillet for frying fish and another for chicken and pork steaks. Remember to never use soap on cast iron or it will rust and you'll have to season it all over again -use your stove heat to kill the germs. There are care instructions included with the skillet.

as a retired chef, I've collected quite the collection of pot's and pans. This 3 Qt Deep Skillet is amazing. i've been using it now for about two months and it's perfectly seasoned (it DID NOT come preseasoned!!!), and it's perfect for so many different types of cooking, from frying to making soup to braising to even roasting a small piece of meat and some veggies. i am absolutely happy with this skillet, and will definitely be recommending it to my friends, as a matter of fact i am going to order another one as a gift for a friend......SAE

cast iron cooking is the absolute best.....smothered steak is absolutely devine cooked in a cast iron skillet. I enjoy this one but I have to say there are rough edges on it...not nearly like the cast iron they used to make ten years ago. But it does make one mighty good smothered steak.

Nice but you must season it! I used coconut oil. I am use to buying preseasoned cast iron! Now that I seasoned it I do love it!

We purchased this and use it daily in the kitchen and on the grill!!

The only caution I would offer is: This is NOT a pre-seasoned pan!! You will have to season it yourself. I didn't realize this when i purchased this skillet. I enjoyed the process of seasoning it, so i didn't mind, but it caught me off guard.
