It is truly worth every euro it costs, perfect fit on a ceramic hob, very well-made compared to cheaper cast iron pans of this size.

A purchase that anyone who cooks, even just fried eggs, should definitely make!! This cast iron is thick, so it's heavy, but with proper use, you'll have it forever. Nice handles and quite deep.

a material that is not pure and needs to be processed by burning in the fire, and I have stored it for 4 months without using it.

It is only suitable for meat, better to get a stainless steel one which is for more uses and lighter. This particular one requires many procedures, tinning and untinning, difficult to clean, generally inconvenient

Value for money, immortal pan if you know how to handle it and maintain it according to the instructions for cast iron cookware. It goes everywhere and withstands anything. I highly recommend it.

Although it comes pre-seasoned, I put it in the oven for another layer of seasoning for 1 hour at 240 degrees. The idea to get rid of conventional non-stick pans was wise. I have gained in taste and high-level results. The weight and care are worth it. From the very second use, I achieved the non-stick property, and from now on, it will only get better and better.

Nothing sticks to the surface. It needs good heating on not too high heat. I have used it on a gas burner and induction. It is one of the best purchases I have made for kitchenware.

As much as you love it, it will love you back. Immortal, but it needs care when it comes to its cleanliness. Food acquires an upgraded taste.

The worst thing I have bought so far. Very heavy and everything sticks. I would not recommend it.

Good pan and a very healthy way of cooking, but honestly, cleaning it over time gets tiring. You shouldn't use soap so you scrub it with the special scrubber and water, then you have to heat it so the water evaporates and scrub it again with a little oil and a cloth to remove the black marks. The truth is it ruins the whole vibe for me, especially when I've just eaten my steak and want to relax. But what can you do, healthy things require a bit of sacrifice.

Very heavy, everything I cooked in it stuck, wherever I placed it it left rust, it ruined my white kitchen counter, I can't lift it to wash it. wasted money

After each cooking, if you wash it, dry it, and oil it as you should, it gets better and more non-stick every time.
Excellent purchase

very good cooking quality (I bought it for meat and vegetables) and even temperature. Its use is nothing like the non-stick pans we all know. It requires a different approach and most importantly, you have to get used to the idea that this particular one is QUITE HEAVY if someone buys it for everyday use. And most importantly, after each use, rinse with a soft sponge and wipe with a little oil to maintain the inner surface and to acquire non-stick properties with use

This is an excellent size frying pan for frying up larger meals, and is easy to maintain when you understand how to cook with cast iron, clean, and maintain it.

As with all cast iron, temperature control is important - you don't need high temperature.

If taken care of, will last pretty much forever.

It simply does everything, baking, frying, cooking, oven. All in one vessel, healthy and tasty. A vessel for a lifetime with the right management. For some negative comments you write, you probably don't know what vessel you are buying. The cast iron requires special care and management and yes, it is VERY heavy. If you are lazy or consider cooking a chore, this vessel is not for you.

My first cast iron skillet and I wonder why I didn't get it all these years and wasted money on non-stick, teflon, and other nonsense...

A frying pan that changed the way I cook... Specifically, the pan is indeed very heavy, difficult to handle for a woman, especially in caring for it after use... I did exactly as mentioned in various videos and in the instructions for seasoning... The steak did not stick, and it is impressive how easily the temperature is distributed throughout the pan and maintained for a long time, so be careful with the temperatures you choose; to find it, start with a low temperature and gradually increase... in case of high temperature in the pan, remove it from the heat... It also changed the way I cooked meats since regular frying pans require different usage and they kept getting damaged... I believe the meats have a better taste, at least that's what I understood after considerable use of it compared to a regular pan... I hope I helped.

Favourite item in my kitchen, works like a charm, super high quality, food cooks great, only drawback is it needs proper maintenance. Its not something you can just throw in the sink and leave it there.

The best frying pan one can have. It takes time. It requires care, regular oiling, and seasoning in the oven on its own. It may stick in the beginning, but over time it becomes better than Teflon. The best fried egg and the best steak. If you learn it well, it will reward you.

You need to learn it, once you learn how to clean it and how to take care of it, you will have it for a lifetime, you can restore it to good condition no matter what, as long as you put effort into it!

The only negative thing I have noticed is its increased weight, but otherwise the advantages are so many that I would hardly go back to a non-cast iron pan!

A frying pan that lasts a lifetime and more with proper maintenance. Fantastic product!!!

It is the second product I have purchased from this specific store, the order came in a very well-packaged and in a very fast time with instructions and the purchase receipt inside the package. The first one was the Lodge Dutch oven with the lid that also serves as a frying pan. Amazing construction, no comparison to non-stick pans with coating. The food becomes delicious no matter what it is, from soup to fried potatoes, it reminds me of grandma's potatoes in the village. It is very easy to clean because nothing sticks to it, as long as you have followed some rules for washing and storing the product after cooking (washing with hot water, wiping with paper, and greasing with oil using a paper towel). The prices are a bit high, but it is for a lifetime, hence why you get what you pay for.

I also had my doubts about this particular product, but after just 2 cooking sessions, steaks and chicken, I rate it as excellent. It does require some handling technique, but don't expect anything amazing. With 2 or 3 YouTube videos, I became an expert. The first time I took it out of the packaging, I cleaned it very well with hot water, sponge, and dish soap, dried it thoroughly with a towel, let it sit to warm up for 2 minutes to evaporate any moisture, then I added a few drops of olive oil with kitchen paper and it's ready. Nothing sticks to it while cooking, very minimal and expected in the beginning, and afterwards, when it's slightly warm, cleaning it with a wooden or metal spatula with hot plain water and sponge, and it's ready for grilling like on a charcoal barbecue. For BBQ enthusiasts. No more non-stick pans that warp after a few uses and need replacement.

After the 26 cm, I decided to get this cast iron one for larger meals or pizzas, bread, etc. Incredible flavors and many options from meat to pizza. The meat becomes like charcoal. I ended up with a maintenance pattern that becomes more non-stick every time, I think.
- I wash it with hot plain water and a brush.
- I heat it on the eye again for water evaporation.
- I wipe it with a paper towel with a little olive oil or sunflower oil while it's hot.
The food is cooked at 5 instead of the 8 that I used to cook on the aluminum non-stick pan.
Good grilling!

It requires quite a bit of care but it lasts a lifetime.
You avoid the aluminum ones that need to be replaced every now and then.

It also retains heat for a very long time and is convenient even for use in the oven.

UPDATE: 14/01/2026

With minimal care, it gets better as time goes by! To avoid sticking, you just need to use a little more oil/fat. This is mainly for eggs and omelets.
Other than that... one of the best purchases!

Weight 3680g which means quite thick and can retain its temperature for a longer time due to higher heat capacity than other cheaper cast iron pans.

It came pre-seasoned from the factory, but expect that it needs at least another 2-3 rounds to become non-stick or 5-6 for a very good non-stick coating.

Tool !!!!!
It's worth its money.
It's a pleasure to work with it...
