The Starter Set No.12

I've been meaning to switch from nonstick for ages and this set finally gave me the push—the pre-seasoned surface means I didn't have to do any of that finicky first-time oiling, and the starter recipes in the box got me through my first week of perfect cornbread and crispy chicken.

The pan arrived pre-seasoned, so I could whip up cornbread right out of the box without any fuss. The handle stays cool enough to grip, and cleanup is just a quick rinse and wipe.

I was expecting to have to season these for weeks before they worked properly, but the pre-seasoned surface is already smooth and non-stick for eggs. The set covers everything from searing steaks to baking cornbread, so it's been my only cookware since it arrived.
