So happy I got this! I have a much bigger cast iron skillet that I love, but I wanted something smaller to use more often throughout the week when it's just me. So much easier to clean than my big guy, and with a smaller size the cooking is faster. Perfect size for cooking a couple eggs, a personal-sized dutch baby, quiche, a chicken breast, grilled sandwich, and so on.It did come seasoned, and like every other new seasoned cast iron cookware I've ever purchased, it first needed to be cleaned with some salt and a damp scrub brush then a quick rinse dry before cooking. A little more seasoning was needed on the exterior. I'm not taking any stars off for that, because part of cooking with cast iron is having to season it from time to time to maintain that perfect non-stick surface. I've mostly had to season 'pre-seasoned' cast iron both inside an out, so only having to do the exterior was a nice surprise.
