This is an absolutely beautiful skillet pan.  It's large and very heavy, as cast iron often is.  I love that there is no pre-seasoning required.  It did an amazing job cooking both a steak and another evening cooking a salmon in it.  I had no issues with food sticking to the bottom of the pan when removing my cooked entrees from it.  I also found it to be very easy to clean as well.  This skillet has proven to be an excellent addition to my cookware collection.
