Cuisinel 12‑Inch Cast Iron Skillet – Pre‑Seasoned Frying Pan with Assist Handle & Silicone Handle Holder – Oven, Stovetop, Grill & Campfire Safe Cookware – PFAS & PFOA‑Free

Excellent set! I purchased these after taking leisure classes at the Baton Rouge Culinary Institute, where we were learning Cajun cooking. I noticed these were the types of pans used to prepare some amazing dishes, so I knew I needed a set for myself. The quality is outstanding. The three sizes with matching lids are perfect for searing, slow cooking, and building deep flavor. The silicone handle covers are very practical and make handling the skillets much safer and more comfortable. Most cast iron sets don’t include lids, so I truly appreciate that this one does. The lids fit snugly and seal completely without ventilation gaps, which makes it possible to prepare even more recipes. I’m very happy with my purchase, definitely a great addition to my kitchen!

I have two 12" skillets, one is 6 years old and is awesome. Just picked up my 2nd skillet with lid. If cared for properly, pan will last literally forever and is superior to teflon coated pans. PSA tip: 1) Always preheat your pan for 5 minutes before cooking on it or until oil coating barely begins to smoke. 2) To clean, buy a stiff brush and NEVER use soap on cast iron (unless you like the taste of soap in your food). 3) For baked on gunk, while pan is hot fill with 1/2 inch hot water and soak for 15 minutes, brush clean and rinse. 4) Dry immediately with kitchen towel or put back on hot burner for a minute. 5) Oil with avocado oil or grapeseed oil using an old bedsheet cut and folded to make a 3" square pad. 6) Don't use a paper towel as it leaves paper bits behind. Bedsheet can be used over and over and over for long time. 7) Never leave a heavy coat of oil, apply super-thin coat, store pan till next use. Thick oil coating becomes gummy.

Great skillet. It is heavy, but cast iron should be. Cooks even and the food taste like the food I grew up eating. Fried chicken tasted like good homemade fried chicken. I am very happy I bought this skillet.

Hello, the frying pan has indeed met my expectations. It heats up well, it's able to retain the temperature for quite a while after turning off the heat, and it is robust and heavy. I do advise you to clean it well and, above all, dry it very thoroughly to prevent rust. If you can put it over the heat for a while, that's fine, and once it cools down, apply a light coat of oil

Love my big skillet! Nothing beats cooking in cast-iron pans. This is a good quality pan and I like the little extra handle cover they provide. Great pan, fair price.

My family really like the skillets

Get these. This is a nice investment. These cast iron pans are nice and heavy. They are awesome with holding heat at a consistent rate. The silicone handles are very nice and easy to slide on and off. The lids themselves are heavy and the silicone on the handles are great. I haven't put them in the oven with the silicone handles on them as of yet. The pans are already pre-seasoned. I used one out of the box and imo I would wipe out the pan with hot water, dry it well, then season the pans again before using for the first time. I did more seasoning with the other 2 pans and that made it so much better when I cooked in them. The 12 inch pan with food in it, you will definitely need 2 hands to move around the stove or oven because of the weight. They will rust (my son washed the pan by mistake and left it to dry! AH!) I cleaned it and seasoned it again. It's fine now. The only thing that I wish is that the back of the pan was completely smooth as I am using an electric stove. I would for sure buy another set.

Love my pans. Easy to use and clean. Meals are tasting delicious

effectivement il faut mettre du gras pour que la poêle soit parfaitement anti adhésive et elle l'est ! La qualité est satisfaisante et on voit bien qu'elles vont tenir dans le temps. Elles sont épaisses, solides et lourdes, ce qui n'est pas forcément agréable lors du nettoyage.

It's extremely heavy to manage with one hand. U need to buy a mandatory wrist support with this.

muy bueno

Very good skillet, perfect for steaks, as it holds the heat very well. Less smoke and more taste. If the cleaning instructions are followed, this skillet last for a long time. I have mine for quite a long time now, using almost every day, and still looking as new.

quality product, value for money, I recommend
