I simply adore cast iron skillets! I'm fortunate to own 2 that are approximately 95 years old, they were my grandmother's. However, one is for frying chicken and the other only cooks 1 egg. This Lodge 6.5" is perfect for cooking 2 eggs or making French Toast or Grilled Cheese sandwiches. It came pre-seasoned, and I'm taking care of it, as the instructions indicate.
