Unlike most pans today and even some cast iron skillets, this one just feels solid and is quite heavy.

The best part of this was that the skillet is not pre-seasoned. I've had to search high and low for one like this. The ones that are pre-seasoned have that cheap feel to them.

Placed the skillet on stove and added oil and the skillet cracked and oil went every where.I've cooked with iron skillets for 50 years and never had this to happen also baked with them.The oil made a very big mess to clean because it was all over the stove.After the skillet cooled the crack closed up inside the skillet but on the bottom it was still there.I'm not very pleased with the skillet.

I cannot recommend this skillet at all. On the very first usage, a crack formed on the side. It seems very cheaply made and I am returning it for a refund.

Basically I love cast iron and needed a 12 incher. Got the Bayou one and was sorely disappointed at the lack of quality. Literally, chunks were missing along the top (sealing) edge and even the bottom inside edge. Plus grinder marks are clearly evident in about a third of the middle of the pan. Goodness only knows what defects were ground off there. But if they re-worked those they had to see the other voids. Won't return, not my style. But likely won't use either.

Ordere 2 of these. They were mailed in a VERY thin box. Keep in mind each of these pans weighs quite a bit. The box ended up getting destroyed in shipping and one of the items had to be returned

We've used this pan for over a year now and it's well worth twice what I paid for it. You got to keep it seasoned which for us is no big deal. We just wipe a little oil into it before we put in storage. My wife loves to cook in it but for her it is a little heavy to pick up with one hand, but hey, it's cast iron and will most likely be around and useable long after I'm gone. We love it!

Thank you for a quality product. I am looking foward to having fun cooking with it. This fry pan is heavy and will hold heat, this is what I was looking for,Thanks Dallas B.
