I love cooking with cast iron. These fajita sets are so versatile. We do our steaks on them. Heat the skillets on the grill first, get them RED-HOT!.... then drop your steaks on them. Turn once. And serve them to guests SIZZLIN'... Your guests will be impressed... and of course they're good for fajitas, too. Ever tried drop biscuits on them? Drop some butter, preheat the skillets, then drop the biscuitdough on. Just tried cooking fresh fish filets on them. Spray w/butter flavored Pam, preheat, bake at 350. Yummy!
The secret to castiron cooking is to PRE-HEAT IT!!! andd when you're through, wash up, turn upside down in heated oven to dry. Protects your seasoning of skillets.

The Lodge Cast Iron Fajita Set with Wooden Underliner (and potholder) is a fun specialty item for your kitchen. Fajitas are so easy to make--teens love to cook them.

Lodge is the premier United States manufacturer of cast iron pans. I like the idea that I can add a bit of iron to my diet by using them. Be sure to season this fajita pan before the first use. (Follow the included directions or simply rub with a bit of vegetable shortening, inside and out, and place in a 250 degree oven for a couple of hours, and then let it cool.) I wipe mine off with a paper towel and avoid washing it with soap, and it has become almost nonstick.

My brother gave us this for Christmas. At first, I was pretty disappointed if only because a pair would make more sense for a family of four. This pan is not very large and at this price, why not splurge? However, this is a fantastic pan for pancakes. It heats quickly, it makes one fast, fluffy, huge pancake at a time, it's a breeze to clean, and it's sort of funny! Also the potholder is useful when I use my "real" pans.

I've used this twice now and have been impressed....it's just like the restaurants.
I always make sure the vegetables are not fully cooked because they will cook in the fajita skillet, since it gets so hot.
