Title: Great iron, but your definition of "pre-seasoned" may vary
Review: I've been using my great-grandma's smooth antique cast iron, so this birthday gift was my first experience with the coarser modern stuff. I was really excited that I could save myself the process of restoring and re-seasoning it and used it that night to cook my birthday dinner!However, even the addition of a small amount of water while scrubbing it out resulted in rust on the inside bottom of the pan. After scouring and another round of seasoning in the oven it hasn't happened again, but I was a little disappointed in the factory seasoning process.Since then, however, I've had nothing but good luck with it, even roasting veggies that have gotten a little watery. As a bonus, the lid fits many of my old #8 pans from other manufacturers. Even though it's one of the smaller models in this line, it's the perfect size to cook for my family of four adults, and it's a great value for the price.
