The Starter Set No.8

The seasoning is already done beautifully out of the box, so I could fry eggs without any sticking on day one. The smooth cooking surface feels like a huge step up from the rough, cheap skillets I’ve owned before.

The set arrived heavier than I expected, which is exactly what you want from cast iron. I’ve been using the larger skillet daily for a week now and the cooking surface is already slicker than my old pan ever got.

The pre-seasoning on both pans is spot on—eggs slid right off this morning without a hint of sticking. I've cooked with rougher skillets before, so the smooth finish here feels like a real upgrade, and the set gives you enough sizes to handle most meals from day one.
