KICHLY 30.5 cm Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet Frying Pan with 2 Handles for Ease of use, Induction Compatible Cookware for Indoor & Outdoor Use (12 Inch, 30.5 cm, Cast Iron Pan, Induction Compatible)

Pan seems sturdy not cooked with it yet ive seen people saying this isnt pre seasoned it definitely is. i noticed some flaking near the handle so boiled some vinegar in it and the factory seasoning started coming off. so it is probably pre seasoned just not well. even with seasoning if you do not get these pans up to temp before you start cooking food will stick How i seasoned: scrubbed with soapy water then vinegar until i started seeing shiny bare metal a bit rinsed with water and then dried with paper towel (important if you dont dry it quickly it will rust) put into the oven for like 5 minutes to make sure it was completely dry (if too wet before drying in oven it may rust if this happens scrub in the sink with some soapy water the rust should go away and repeat steps make sure you get it completely dry with the paper towel) after it is out of the oven coat in thin layer of rapeseed oil then put in the oven for 1 hour 10 mins on max heat once its done let it cool ad coat in oil / heat 11 or 2 more times My pan after 3 seasonings

Very happy it's awesome food tastes as it should the pan is easy to clean and has non stick properties out of the box but don't expect to be to the level of a new teflon pan the bitter taste was the teflon pan coating releasing chemicals in food so happy got rid of it and got this tool beware is very heavy

I bought this because of the size and the price. I have several cast iron pots and pans so I know how to care for and use them. Below is my review of this piece. Seasoning It says “pre seasoned” but don't rely on that. I had to run mine through 4 courses of Seasoning over 2 days. Structure The pan is as thick as any of my other pans but I question the quality of the material and the manufacturing process. The surface of the pan is coarse and almost grainy. This gets better with Seasoning but it should not come this rough. Also, the pan seems to warp a little in high temperatures and the bottom becomes a little concave. Performance. I have now fried eggs, bacon and burgers in the pan. The eggs were after 2 seasonings and they stuck a little. The bacon and burgers were after the 4th seasoning and there was less sticking but the performance was less than I expected. Conclusion I'm going to keep using this pan and see what happens. Let's face it, at this price, (£19) you can't go too far wrong! It needs a proper breaking in and if it works, you may have a pan for life!

I've had a cast iron pan in the past and thought I'd get another, this is really good for the money, I've used it for about a month so far and it has worked perfectly the whole time. It is more effort than a regular pan, you need to do some research and don't expect it to be perfect straight away, wipe a little veg oil on it and stick it on the oven for an hour, do this 3/4 times in the first week and do it again every 2-4 weeks and this helps keep it non stick. Dont submerge it in water or use a dishwasher and dry thourally afterwards and even stick it on the hob for 5 mins after to get it completely dry as it can rust easily, also you want to cook with a little extra oil or fatty food to begin with but now I can cook bacon, eggs and steaks with no sticking at all. The final thing about this that is amazing is being able to put it straight in the oven for example if cooking chicken breast you can marinade or season it and fry and crisp up the skin and outside and then stick it in the oven in the pan to finish cooking. Anyways it's amazing, if you don't mind the extra time it takes when you first get it to make it into a great pan then I would 100% recommend it, if you want one perfectly non stick to start with you may have to go for a more expensive pan but this is really amazing for the price and makes the best food I've had in a long time.

Never used a cast iron skillet before. After reading several reviews I seasoned it three more times on the outdoors gas grill. That evening I used it to cook cod fillet. There was absolutely no sticking of food to the pan and the cod cooked perfectly. Just follow the after use instructions and its good to go again. The following day was the turn of a piece of rib-eye steak, again perfectly cooked and no sticking. So I am happy with my purchase.

I was excited to pirates this cast iron pan after the positive reviews. When I received the pan, I washed it in soapy water and followed the instructions to apply a thin layer of vegetable oil on the surface of the pan and preheat the pan, crank it up to 180°C and place the pan upside down on the rack inside the oven for one hour. Then leave the pan in oven for 45 mins and flip it over to bake for an additional 15 mins. I warmed the pan on low heat and oiled it again to cook naan bread. The bread stuck to the surface of the pan and pulled off the enamel. I added a little oil again but it continued to stick. The enamel of the pan came off the surface of the pan and I had black chipped enamel pieces in the pan with the bread. I reported this to the seller and sent a photo of the broken and chipped enamel in the pan. I received a response from the seller, dismissing this defect with a 25% discount and to keep the pan. The discount was processed immediately without an opportunity to reject the offer and I was cut off to respond back to the seller. I immediately opted to return the defective item and Amazon stepped up with a refund of the balance of the item. No amount of re-seasoning can fix a broken chipped enamel car iron pan. It is recommended to avoid using a chipped and broken enamel cast iron pan for cooking. The main concern is that the chipped enamel could continue to break off, potentially contaminating your food. While the exposed cast iron is not inherently dangerous, the risk of ingesting enamel fragments is a significant health concern. Extremely disappointed with the quality of this product and the service of the seller to return it replace the defective item. I would not recommend purchasing this product.

Great price

Mein langer Traum , eine Bratpfanne ohne Beschichtung (sind die Edelstahlpfannen ja auch ) und aus Guss. Essen fertig : Pfanne auf Holzbrett und auf den Tisch; bleibt das Essen noch lange heiß/warm. Gewöhnungsbedürftig ist noch der heisse Griff. Aber mit Topflappenhandschuh , über den Griff gezogen, lässt es sich gut händeln. Gute Pfanne , guter Preis. Ich werde mir noch einen Überzieher aus Rauhleder für den Pfannenstiel basteln.

I really enjoy cooking in cast iron and the pans will last for generations with proper care

Long term review here. I've used these pans, both the smaller and the larger one, for a little more than 18 months. In that time, they've been used and abused a LOT. I've re-seasoned the pans 2-3 times in that time period after some exceptionally aggressive stains (burned honey residue from glazing, for example). They've gone through smash burgers, omelettes, pan pizza and been on the stove and in the oven. As long as you know what you're doing with cast iron, these might last generations. The larger pan initially came skewed. Returned it for a new one that was good. QA may be a bit shoddy from this company? Inspect your pan and don't be afraid to return it if it's not in good condition from the start. Positives: + Cheap price, good quality. + All metal (you can use it in the oven and on a grill with no worry). + After some time, it can develop a fantastic patina (almost non-stick!), though this is down to how YOU treat the pan. Negatives: - The lettering under the pan loves trapping water. I use a sheet of paper towel to dab it dry after washing, no rust yet. - Short handle means less leverage. Might be difficult to use one-handed, especially the larger pan. - While an all metal pan means you can put it in the oven it also means the handle gets scorching hot. Keep a towel/oven mitt nearby or get some type of handle sleeve. Conclusion: 5 stars. These pans are proof that iron = iron. I have other pans from fancier brands long with an inheritance pan from my great-grandfather and there is honestly little to no difference. These are especially good for someone who's new to cast iron since they're inexpensive. Learn the material with these before you look at the nicer brands or the family heirloom.

I bought this skillet to tide me over while we are waiting for our house to be built as all of my cast iron is packed away....It's not the greatest but for the price it does just fine. I would be happy to recommend this product for anyone who does not want to spend a lot on a cast iron skillet.
