This is my first ever cast iron skillet. And I think it is amazing. I didn't know a pan could make such a difference to my cooking but wow, all meats are so easy now. I'm not a frequent red meat eater but I made steaks that my guests are still raving about - the recipe was the same as what I'd used before but they turned out with a more satisfying almost-char on the outside and perfectly medium-rare on the inside with this skillet.  and nothing sticks. it is as easy to clean as a nonstick frying pan.

Pros: easy clean-up, amazing results
