Negative Positive
Title: 1001 uses!
Review: I purchased this product thinking that I would get a good deal of use out of it. I was wrong. I get more use out of this than almost any other piece of cookware in my kitchen. It is constantly on the stove, I rarely bother to put it away.As far as the product itself goes, it's very solid (and heavy) as you would expect cast iron to be, heats evenly and has no problem going from stove top to oven.Seasoning the cast iron is not very difficult, I simply put a dollop of Crisco in the pan and let it heat in the oven for a few minutes till I could rub the semi-melted shortning over the entire pan. Baked at 350F for an hour and left to cool, it had turned the familiar brownish/black color and was ready to use.I have sauted and pan fried countless meals and I'm able to bake cornbread in this pan . I can tell you right now that it is well worth the absurdly low cost. In fact, I plan to purchase at least one more in the slightly smaller size.
