Utopia Kitchen Cast iron Skillets 3 Piece Set, Chefs Pan, Pre Seasoned Cast iron Skillets, 6, 8 & 10 Inches, Easy Use in the Oven, Stove, Grill, or Campfire, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I bought these on sale and let me tell you, it was so worth it! They say pre-seasoned and after reading some reviews/complaints I decided just to season them when they arrived to save myself some heartache and money and they’ve done me right so far. The smallest one is really small, I haven’t used it because not much can fit in there but maybe an egg or a personal cookie. I mainly use the bigger some myself for most of my cooking needs that require a cast iron and it is still a bit snug (when I’m making biscuits I can really only fit about 4-5 in there depending on the size I make them) I would definitely recommend especially if you get them on sale, just wish the sizes were a bit bigger.

The media could not be loaded. A esta compra le doy un 9/10. Primero porque en las especificaciones el vendedor te explica al final de todo te pone que debes cuidar el sartén pero no “el cómo cuidar el sartén con palabras claras, y esto me parece que le sumaría a sus ventas, yo no usaría la palabra semi-curado para la descripción. Pero también me parece que los clientes deben de orientarse y saber más acerca de un producto antes de comprarlo, conocer lo que van a comprar y más si es como en mi caso, que yo nunca había utilizado sartén de hierro fundido, decidí buscar algunos vídeos de YouTube y ver cuáles eran la mejor opción y está para mí es la opción #1 si se trata de cuidar la salud familiar.CUIDADO DEL SARTÉN QUE APRENDÍ:Para usar este sartén debe saber que cuando lo recibe viene semi-curado, semi-curado quiere decir que ya viene con “una capa de aceite horneado carbonizado”, por ese se ve un poco brilloso, y viene listo para usarse o si desea puede meterlo al horno y ponerlo de 200 a 250*C en el horno para que cure al 100%, entonces cuando lo usas la primera ves, inclusive la 2da. Y lo lavas la esponja se ensucia bastante como si votara material negro del sartén, eso solo pasa la 1era y 2da ocasión. Entonces para poder cuidar el sartén, debes de fregarlo luego de que cocines, lo dejas enfriar obviamente, pero luego que lo friegas debes secarlo con una toalla de microfibra que sea suave y no vote pelusas, entonces cuando ya queda seco, le hechas un poco de aceite una cantidad considerable que te dé para frotar por dentro y por fuera y hasta el puño del sartén y para regar el aceite por todos lados puedes hacerlo con servilletas o toalla de papel, esto debe hacerse cada ves que use el sartén.Entonces básicamente “la curación del sartén”, es hacer eso de lavarlo, secarlo y hecharle aceite por dentro y por fuera, y así siempre quedará con su revestimiento de aceite, si haces lo contrario y lo friegas y dejas secar al aire pues se te pondrán unas líneas como de óxidado que se ve bastante, si esto te pasó puedes lavarlo nuevamente, luego secarlo y de una ves aplicar el aceite, preferiblemente aceite de oliva o aceite de aguacate. Otro dato es que para mí en lo personal para freír huevos o hacer tortillas no es muy bueno, es mejor uno de cerámica.

They are a good value for the money you will spend . Anyone who is having issues with them , here's what you need to know . First , they have a rough finish , as they are pre-seasoned . What did I do ? Sanded that off . It's not terrible , and will give you that smooth finish you want . Most cast iron that you buy today comes pre-seasoned . Then I washed it with mild dish soap ( think Ivory , or Dawn ) and WARM to HOT soapy water . Dry it using non lint cloth ( cut up on old clean t-shirt ) . Then to make sure it's perfectly dry turn on a burner on medium and sit the pan on it for 5 minutes . While that's going on I also turned my oven on to 400 degrees . It's important to make sure that your pans are perfectly dry so I took the extra precaution of putting them into the oven for 10 minutes . Take them out using oven mitts , oiled them down using some clarified butter (unsalted ) making sure that I wiped down the whole pan , sides , bottom , handle , etc . Now wipe off extra oil put the pans into the oven upside down and bake for one hour . Also put them on the middle rack and line the bottom rack with tinfoil . Repeat the oiling down process and baking process 2 more times . You now have a base seasoning , and a smooth surface . It will now clean up really easy . To do that , run the pan under hot water , will it's hot , NEVER use cold water ,( it will crack ) , use a wooden spoon to scrape off any food , use a lint free cloth ( piece of clean old cut up t-shirt ) , to dry it and stick it on a turned on burner or turned on oven for 5 minutes . That's it . When cast iron heats up it is self cleaning , also it won't rust . Over time you will get the black patina that you want . Then you can even cook acidic foods like tomato-based sauces in it .

The 10in cooked fantastic, I used it as soon as I got it. They look and feel great. The 8in though I used and everything stuck! It was so hard to clean. I had to season it, and hopefully it won't stick next time. I haven't tried the 6in yet, but I'm disappointed in the 8in, especially because the 10in did so well! I made Alfredo and nothing stuck to it at all. It was so easy to clean up. Granted I'm still pleased with the 10in for the price!

so far so good. food tastes really good when cooked in these skillets. small one is too small to be of any use. other two are ok. $35.

I have not used a Teflon skillet since getting these. My grandmother would be so proud. Blackened chicken or fish and fried eggs are the best. Easy to clean and so pretty.

At first I loved these cast iron pans. However after a few uses I was drying on the range and it broke into half it sounded like an explosion, scared me. I don't recommend buying this pans.

Best product, easy to use ,
