These are really inexpensive and last forever. They do need to be seasoned by oiling both sides and baking for a hour or so. I just heard that one of the leading manufacturers, Lodge (I think that's how it's spelled), now sells their skillets pre-seasoned. Just a good thing to remember if anyone is thinking of buying them.

Thanks! I've heard of Lodge too, I think they were featured on the Food Network at one point. I definitely plan on getting one, my Nana swears by hers.

Yes, you're right - Lodge sells pre-seasoned cast iron cookware. I need to go buy one!

We have one. We got it from crate and barrel and LOVE it. I also got the cast iron press and its the best.

I have several. They work best for frying foods like chicken cutlets or making omlettes. They evenly distribute the heat of the pan and everything cooks evenly.
