Cast iron is the holy grail of cookware materials. It’s built to conduct and distribute heat evenly, so anyone from beginners to bonafide home chefs can sauté, fry, grill, bake, and broil restaurant-quality meals with very little effort.
All cast iron cookware by Cuisinel is pre-seasoned. All you have to do is hand-wash your pan with warm water and — just like any cast iron pan — season it from time to time with natural oils. Good cast-iron pans are a worthy investment that, if cared for properly, will last a lifetime or more.

One fan wrote: “I gave them a quick oil seasoning when I first got them and they have been rockstars since. The 10" pan is a good size to do a 1.25lb ribeye, and the 8" is a great breakfast pan. The included handle covers are a nice touch too. I have cleaned them several times since, and they haven't degraded in any way that would reflect poor craftmanship.
