I was really impressed with these. I loved the easy clean and the way they cook. More expensive pots and pans have a certain evenness in the heat when cooking. The metal core of the pan/pot dissipates the heat evenly. I've bought cheap pans that will have certain areas of the pan that burn food while other areas do not get hot. These work just as good as expensive copper core pots/pans at a bargain price. My only beef was that the must have been sitting a for a long time in some dirty warehouse. They arrived pretty dirty. Not a biggie though. I cleaned and seasoned them. Gonna BBQ with these this Summer! :-)

This is one of the few purchases that I feel really was worth it's online time!! I thought i was going to have isssues with the lid on the dutch oven due to the rounded top, but the lid, inverted serves both as a drip back and a coal holder...awesome!!Add the free shipping and presto mundo....online FTW!!

Love this set of Cast Iron Pan set , I went on youtube to learn how to season each piece.
Bought this set for my daughter-Inlaw and now that I see it i want a set of my own ...

Great deal just big enough for 1 person or 2 or 3 at most. it's a small set and just
right for me as I freeze left overs .....best of all is the flavor of the food and once
it is seasoned it"s non stick surface is great .......A must have .........

I put "cast iron cookware" on my Christmas list last year, and my husband got me this. First off, it's not very smooth, even after a year of continual use. I very carefully clean and re-season my cast iron after each use. Still, if I rub a paper towel over any of it, I'll have little bits of lint stuck all over it. My two Lodge pieces, which are newer, don't do that - they're much smoother. Also, this stuff is made in China. That doesn't sit well with me (I frankly can't believe my husband got me China stuff when we're trying so hard to get rid of chemicals and questionable items like this, but there you have it). Until someone can tell me that there is 100% absolutely no lead or other crap in there that the Chinese don't seem to mind tossing into things to make a buck or two, I'll always wonder. I'm slowly replacing all my Stansport stuff with Lodge for the above reasons. So I basically gave this stuff three stars because it holds my food well as I'm cooking. My two Lodge pieces are different sizes than the ones in this set and I use them whenever I can. I'll slowly switch out all these pieces too. And no, I don't work for Lodge. I happen to own the two brands and I like Lodge better for the aforementioned reasons.

One of the items listed in this set is a 5 quart chicken fryer. This chicken fryer is not large enough to hold a chicken and in fact only holds 2.5 quarts. This is decieving and wrong. I measured the volume with water and rust appeared in the fryer and dutch oven after I measured them. The seasoning was not complete. The handles are very short also. I now understand why the set appeared to be a good value. It's a good price, but you don't get what you think you're getting. I'm going back to Old Mountain cookware.

I bought these cookware set a month ago. I have seasoned them, although they are already pre-seasoned. I would recommend doing it to avoid stickiness. They are great pans, but require care, not to say that they are healthy. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Bought this as an Christmas present for my girlfriend and since we opened it we haven't stopped cooking and have bought a lot more cast iron seasons great and the flavor holds so well the taste is unbeatable totally recommend this product to everyone

These are my first cast iron pans so I don't have anything to compare them to but I love them. I've used the frying pans most often and the dutch oven only once so far since buying this package a few months ago. I think they were pre-seasoned but the two frying pans did stick a bit on the first few uses. I've seasoned them a couple times on my own which really improved the non-stick surface. The combination of items in this package is really amazing. Everything you need and good quality for such a cheap price.

The one complaint that I have (4 stars instead of 5) is that I'm not so sure about the heat conductivity. I have a burner on my stove that is out in one spot, which is always a problem when cooking. I thought this shouldn't be a factor for cast iron because every inch of the pan should distribute heat evenly but I've still have this problem with both of the cast iron frying pans. Overall though I love the way they cook. Cast iron is, by nature, versatile and a great companion in the kitchen. These are good cast iron pans.

This was a gift for our daughter, and she is THRILLED with it. Thank you so much for selling this set of cookware.

I was disappointed in the preseasoning of the cookwear. The skillet was hardly seasoned at all and everything sticks. The lid rusted in several places after cleaning it with just water and setting it out to dry.

I think I may have to reseason some item right away. Since preseasoned cast iron cookwear costs more than unseasoned, I fell this is overpriced and the preseasoning is of poor quality.
