Nice Heavy Cast Iron Pan

Pleasantly surprised at the quality and how it cooks. A bit rough but overall is just as nice as my older, seasoned pans. This pan is pre seasoned, yet I did it again. Not sure I had to. Eggs and bacon are the primary items I cook in this and it is fine. I do not think I have ever had eggs just slip out of the pan, in cast iron or older 'non stick' pans as well. Overall, it is very heavy, cleans up nice and cooks my food the way I think it should

nothing better than cornbread made in a cast iron skillet!! yummy! Easy to maintain after use and makes the edges of the cornbread are so crispy and delightful. cast iron is heavy and requires some TLC to keep it in shape. but so worth it!!! two of my daughters collect cast iron. for display, use, and camping! where did they get the love for cast iron, I quess from me. Family tradition!! one day, my granddaughters or grandson's will be using my cast iron!! the thought of that makes my heart so very happy!
