I was a little hesitant that the skillet would be on the smaller side but once I unboxed it I realized it was big enough for my whole family. We tried steaks for our first use and they all fit perfectly in there. I really like that it already comes seasoned so we could use it right away. It cooked our meat beautifully and clean up was easy. I just need to learn how to care for it so that it will last me a long time bht just from my short time with it I can tell it's going to last me years.
