Cast Iron Set - Pre-Seasoned Kitchen Essentials Set - Skillet, Griddle & Dutch Oven Included - PFAS-Free Non-Toxic Cookware - 7-Piece Set

Nice one had a couple small chips on the season but no big deal to me every thing looked great.

I used to be intimidated by cast iron pans.... I used non-stick for the most part then noticed that none of those pans last very long even if properly cared for. I was pretty diligent to use only plastic on them but inevitably they always got scratched somewhere down the line. It was also not recommended to put them at high temps and if I had a recipe that required both the stove-top and the oven I'd have to change out my pan- very annoying. Buy these and you'll never have to repurchase one again- even if it gets rust! I honestly use at least one of these items a day, for the most part. Very reliable and doesn't get rusty if you look up how to take care of it. I only use a paper towel to clean after use for the most part. For stubborn bits that stick and for fragrant dishes such as fish, stir-fries, etc.- I scrub out the pan using a nylon brush using hot water- NEVER soap! I then dry it, put the pan on the stove to make sure any excess water is removed and then re-season with oil before putting it away. The pan gets exceptionally hot so for the germiphobes out there that insist that soap is the only way to sufficiently clean pots and pans- cookware becomes sterile at 212ºF. Cast iron cookware reaches around 400ºF in 4 minutes on medium heat- more than sufficient. This process only takes a few minutes, often less time than scrubbing out nonstick or stainless cookware. You can also use coarse kosher salt and oil to get stuck on food removed from the pan with a paper towel. It really isn't as high maintenance as you'd think so don't be scared! To prevent food (i.e. eggs) from sticking in the first place- make sure to preheat your skillet for a few minutes to get it scorching hot, add a little bit of butter or oil, and then crack open your eggs. The only times I've had them stick is when I've been too impatient and skipped this step.The lid that comes from the pan fits on the dutch oven, skillet, and griddle and definitely comes in handy. I thought I would rarely use the griddle- but it turns out to be my most used pan in the kitchen and hardly ever gets put away. Easier to flip in this which is perfect for eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese, etc (I always put the lid on-top of the griddle to fully melt the cheese when making grilled cheese, yum!) I use these babies to make a wide array of foods such as baked goods, pizza, fajitas, fish, frittatas, and mostly everything. This set really changed how I cook and I am better for it!

Very nice pans!! 👌

Got this for christmas and it is our ritual in the house, the quality is so good and stays in perfect condition. It’s pretty heavy, and hasn’t rusted since we got it in december. It does it get very hot so make sure to use proper wear when handling. The size of these are great for perfectly in oven when done or even hanged in the wall. The cook time is a lot faster because the pans get pretty warm! Really good gift for someone to even yourself!

Works super well I love the cast iron skillets. Super Easy to use! Super easy to clean!

Well if you are looking at these it is because you already know the benefits of cast iron and are wanting an affordable option what will provide those benefits.Pros: the price tag is the best, it is US made cast irons.Cons: these are very heavy there are other options not as heavy but at higher costs so that is the main issue.I would recommend removing the preseason if and reseasoning as the original seasoning will flake quite soon. Other than that this is the best.6 months in and still going strong. I seasoned mine with 1 part of grape seed oil, 1 part of sunflower oír and 1 part of unrefined bees wax. It works like a charm keeps them cleaned and seasoned even when having to deep clean with soap and scrubs

All items as designed and functioned properly. Great value for all included.

I've had this set since late October and because I'm not a huge "at home cook" I wanted to wait to review this product. Since owning these pans, I've become more of an "at home cook." They're fun to use and I like knowing that the more I use them, the better they get.Here's my story:I had a set of non-stick skillets for a little over 5 years. They performed well, until they didn't. Once they started flaking and I started looking for a replacement, I decided that I wanted something that would last longer than 5 years.Not only are these made in the USA, but they will likely last until the world ends. They're heavy. The pre-seasoning totally works, though I did follow some useful online guides to add additional seasoning to them. I've had them for a few months now, and I doubt I will ever use anything else.I've fried and scrabbled eggs. Made a pizza. Made roasts. Cooked brats. All with zero issues and because you can cook at a lower temperature - because the cast iron maintains its heat - it's very hard to burn food, and everything comes out looking perfectly cooked (because I suppose it is).Two things to note, I only paid $69 for my set. I noticed that they are now $99. Don't get me wrong, I would pay the extra $30. It's worth not ever having to replace your pans again.Second thing, I bought the 15 inch skillet as well. It's huge and extremely heavy. But I've used it for a lot of different things, including a very large deep dish pizza and frying multiple pounds of meat at once. I would suggest getting another skillet to add to this set (maybe not the 15in if you don't think you can maneuver a very heavy skillet.
