I was very pleasantly surprised by this skillet. It’s everything I search for in a cast iron, it’s rust resistant which makes cleaning and everything so much easier. It’s extremely heavy which is exactly how a cast iron skillet should be and it’s the perfect size. It heats up fast, your food doesn’t stick and cleans up like a dream. My husband makes steaks on it every week because he’s obsessed with the way they come out on this skillet.
