I BOUGHT A 14 " CAST IRON SKILLET.... I HAVE A 10" AND ITS GREAT BUT I WANTED A BIGGER ONE FOR THE LONGEST TIME.... I LIKE TO MAKE CERTAIN THINGS THAT THE SMALLER ONE DID NOT ACCOMODATE... IT WAS ON SALE AND FREE SHIPPING.... I SEASONED IT TODAY A FEW TIMES AND FRIED SOME GARLIC AND ONIONS IN TO HELP IN THE SEASONING.... TAKES AWAY ANY METALLIC TASTE.... ITS DOING WELL AND IM GOING TO ENJOY IT....THE CAST IRON COOKWEAR IS SO GOOD FOR BROWNING AND EVEN COOKING.... I USE MY STAINLESS STEEL POTS BUT FOR MOST THINGS I REACH FOR THE CAST IRON....
