I waited for several months to write this review since the primary use for this frypan was to prepare omelets, and since I use the "slide it out and fold with the lip of the pan" technique, it has to truly be non-stick. My first act was to put it through my own seasoning process, well actually the seasoning process of the Wok Shop in San Francisco. I am happy to report that it works and works well. More than I can say for our super expensive Calphalon infused utensils. Season it before use, wash only with water and a scrubber of your choice, and heat and re-oil after every use. It's light weight, heats rapidly and is truly non-stick. Oh, and yes, the handle does get hot -use a towel or hot pad for crying out loud.

This is not a cast iron pan, in the sense of the old seasoned pans your mother had.

I like how light it is. But.......

It does not distribute the heat evenly.

And everything sticks to the ridges on the inside.

The way it was ground down on the inside left spiral ridges.

I have cooked and seasoned, cooked and seasoned.

I own regular cast iron pans.

I will be going back to them.

Don't be fooled, get the real thing.

Regular Cast iron forever!

This product fulfilled all my requirements for an omelette pan: Cast-iron, light weight, cooking surface not pre-coated with "nonstick" material, 10-inch dia. size, rounded bottom-side--perfect for twoor three-egg omelettes. Had some reservations about thin body and riveted handle until I saw how sturdily it was made. At this point pan is still new, but performing to all expectations, aging nicely and improving with every use. Overall, an excellent pan that won't break your wallet, and a welcome addition to my cast-iron collection.

I gave these as a gift, to someone that wanted real cast iron pans. They are getting older and having trouble with their hands, so a lighter version seemed to be just the ticket. They keep telling me how great they are. They were and still are ecstaticed about receiving them. The only thing that would make them better is if they had lids.
