Summary: Unless you enjoy eating black paint, buy something else
Comment: These cast iron pans are heavy and appear to be of good quality except for the fact that after only two or 3 uses, I get black paint from the pan in everything I cook. I have some lodge cast iron pans and they are wonderful. Spend the extra $2 on lodge pans and you'll love them. The smallest pan in this set is useless.

Summary: "The preseaoned coating is meant to be temporary"???
Comment: I purchased this set a month ago. Let me first say that this is a small skillet set - be sure you pay attention to the listed sizes. I didn't and was a bit surprised at how small they were.
After reading the reviews prior to ordering, I made sure that I RESEASONED all three skillets prior to using and also used no detergents, only a brush and water to clean. I only used the largest skillet a handful of times before the coating started to come off! I decided not to go through Amazon and complain, but go directly to the manufacturer, Heuck. This is their response:
"Thanks for your purchase of Heuck cookware. The preseaoned coating is meant to be temporary - it isn't a permanent coating. Normally it wears off with use in 6 months to a year; afterward the pan has to be seasoned. In your case, the use of the brush may have caused the coating to begin to flake off. Sometimes there are rough spots in the coating and part of the coating could flake. It doesn't represent a hazard, but you'll want to season the pan according to the use and care instructions right away to make sure it doesn't rust. You also have the option to return to Amazon for exchange or refund if you'd rather do that."
Interesting that because of the coating I did not have to SCRUB with the brush, so I doubt it was the fault of my brushing. I believe this to be the fault of poor manufacturing. I realize this was a cheap set and I guess I get what I paid for. Too bad really. I love cast iron and will continue to purchase cast iron, but never again any product from Heuck.

Summary: Used properly for a couple of months & now paint is coming off!
Comment: I thought these were awesome for the price as they seem to cook well as long as you preheat and season (able to even cook eggs fine). But after using them for a month and a half or so the paint is coming off (we never use soap just warm water and a wash cloth or soft scrubber to clean). The reason we went to cast iron was for the health benefits but now I have to wonder??? I plan to purchase a Lodge pan as they seem to have very good reviews.

Summary: New family heirloom
Comment: I bought this 3-pack iron skillet set at a discount store years ago for $15 after my sister had gone on about how great her new cast iron pan was. Curious, I thought "they're so cheap, why not try?" At the time I had many really fancy non-stick pans, anodized aluminum pans, stainless steel pans; you name it. Well, I still have those pans, but now they sit in the cupboard while the cast iron pans have gained a permanent place atop my stove. The cast iron pans are *that* fantastic. At first, I thought I didn't like them, because while the set says they're pre-seasoned, it does take a bit more seasoning (rub with lard or shortening and put it in the stove for 15 min, then wipe off) and actual cooking (the real seasoning) in the pans before they get blacker and begin acting like nonstick pans (without chemicals). Yes, you may burn some food at first, but that passes, and the nonstick, heat-retaining result is totally worth it. Expect your pans to blacken with use (blacker=more nonstick). The pans heat evenly, and retain that heat(unlike aluminum and nonstick), so food cooks more evenly and tastes so much better! Also, I learned that you DO NOT USE SOAP on these; just clean with a stainless steel scrubber and really hot water. Soap will ruin cast iron, as the seasoning will come off and it will rust. I suspect the reviewer who dislikes these pans probably doesn't know how cast iron cookware works. These pans are so nice to use, and they keep getting better and better with more use. As they are sturdy, I expect that they will stay with me for the rest of my life, then be passed on to future generations. This cookware is totally worth it. If you are wondering whether to try them, just do it - you'll be happy you did.

Summary: So Much For High Tech
Comment: When I was a kid, My grandmother made great food on a coal stove in cast- iron pots. For 50 years I used pots coated with one miracle non-stick stuff or another and they all pealed and cracked. Now I spent a couple of dollars and am making food like grandma use to make without eating God-knows-what pealing from the pans. They are easy to take care of and if you pay attention, they are non-stick.
