This is now the go to skillet in our kitchen. It’s beautifully made, a wonderful size and is easy to season.

I was dubious of the price of the No. 13 skillet wondering if it could possibly be worth that much money. After using it, my opinion is that it is worth every dollar. The skillet surface has a smooth finish and the skillet comes pre-seasoned. However, I washed the skillet in warm, soapy water, dried it, and then put grapeseed oil on all surfaces and let it sit overnight. The next day, I wiped the surfaces of the skillet again with grapeseed oil and put it in the oven upside down, and set the temperature at 400F. I let the skillet heat up with the oven and let it bake for one hour at 400F, and then let it slowly cool with the oven. Then took it out, and lightly wiped it again with oil. It is as close to a non-stick surface as you can get. I have many cast iron pans, some of them nearing 80 years old, and only a few have the interior finish of this skillet. I have used it on the grill for smash burgers, in the oven for a baked dish, and for a number of other uses. It cooks evenly and the smooth interior cleans easily - what more could you ask for? The smooth surface and factory seasoning make it far superior to the commonly found skillets of this type.

This is an excellent cast iron skillet! It cooked well right out of the box and it keeps getting better everytime I use it. I just wish I had known about these sooner so I could’ve avoided the struggles of trying to cook with other inferior options.

Quality product and great customer service!

Perfect size for roasting a whole chicken and veggies. Onto to Paella! Love the finish and weight
