Negative Positive
Title: lets be realistic
Review: This is cast iron. When I use it on a conservative heat, the handle doesn't get very warm. When I cooked in it with oil and 400+ degrees for 30 minutes, the handle is going to get hot. It's iron. If you had a $500 iron skillet it would still be made of iron and heat up eventually. As far as cleaning, if you're not prepared to go through the pains of learning to cook with cast iron, it might not be for you. When I cooked on it the right way, easy as clean up can be on cast iron. I started to deglaze with the pan was smoking hot... spent an hour cleaning it (my fault). If you want easy clean up, get one that's porcelain on the inside too, but then you might as well use a normal frying pan.
