Got this as a gift for a college grad student. I've used cast iron for decades, and Lodge is the best value for the money, and just overall great. She was worried about seasoning, and even though it comes pre-seasoned, I walked her through adding some seasoning. We discussed how best to clean it and retain the seasoning. An 8 inch pan is just the right size for her to cook for herself or her and a friend.She's already baked cornbread in it, and she says the hamburgers fried in it are awesome.
