Great Bargain
These pans are very good quality, especially for the price. I have more expensive ones that aren't any better.
A wonderful product
I am very satisfied with these skillets. I better be careful or Amazon will want to up their price. These skillets are a steal for the price. They are lovely in the kitchen, they are really iron, there's a good heft to them. Fried chicken and cornbread come out mighty fine. (Go to Cook.com and get their recipe for skillet cornbread. Man that's down-home eatin.)
It exploded
I bought this thinking it would be safer than the typical Teflon pan and easier to clean than a cast iron but after a month it literally exploded on the stove and I had to shove my daughter out of the kitchen to keep her from getting hit by the pieces.
I tried to return it but Amazon will not accept it back because it's been more than 30 days. I feel completely cheated. This was not only bad quality because it exploded but it was clearly cheaply made as it was very light (not like a cast iron pan should be) so I suspect there is very little cast iron in it at all.
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS- the Lodge cookware, it may be more expensive at first but since I'll have to buy Lodgeware now to replace this hunk of junk I'm ... Read More
For the price, these can't be beat!
I ordered this before anyone had written any reviews on Amazon, and I was pleasantly surprised when they turned out to be very decent enamel-coated cast-iron skillets.
If you're a cooking snob, then you'll want more expensive french-made cookware. But if you're looking to save money, these are awesome! For the price, I'm very satisfied with the quality. My pans have an even coating of enamel, no iron showing through the coating. The edges are exposed iron, as you can see in the pictures. There are some thin spots where I think the coating may eventually start to chip, but until that happens I'm not worrying about it. Besides, I've got three pans to choose from and I can afford to throw one away if necessary.
