Good value if you need all the pieces. Well seasoned from the start. Photo for scale below. If you need a full set of cast iron these are a good value. I took a photo for scale, the size is hard to judge from just the Amazon photo. If you have never cooked with cast iron, buy a frying pan first and see how you like it.Cast iron has a high heat capacity, it gets hot and holds the heat. However, it takes a while to get there, if you are used to cooking with lightweight pans you need to change your habits. Cast iron needs to be preheated for about 10 min, moving it around…
These should last a very long time Who doesn’t love a good cast iron pan? We use them all. The. Time. In our house. These AmazonBasics brand are very nice. They feel like you’d expect. I do recommend seasoning them on your own when you get them, before you use them. We had to. They say pre-seasoned but the oil I sprayed on the 1st one I used soaked right in. The egg I was trying to fry stuck. I do have to say that it cleaned off well after the fact.If you are new to cast iron make sure you follow the cleaning and seasoning…
Just as good as the name brands Don’t let the name make you think that these are a cheaper version of a cast iron product. These are just as good if not better than the high end name brands out there and the best part they cost a fraction of what you would pay. Heavy and sturdy and food comes out delicious. I would recommend washing them by hand. I personally find that some products don’t belong in the dishwasher. They are easy to clean up and don’t require heavy scrubbing.
