This Rachael Ray iron skillet exceeded my expectations!  I was shocked at the extreme quality of this pan.  The color is gorgeous, as well.  I will mention that the weight of this skillet ( empty) is very heavy.  I think that is what adds to the quality, but it gets even heavier with food in it. Overall, I am super pleased with this pan.  The fact that it is rust resistant is another reason to love it. Clean up was easy and effortless.
