[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had several types of cast iron skillets over the years but this is my first square one. Of course, whenever I get a new cast iron skillet, I ALWAYS season it even if it's preseasoned. Since then I've cooked steaks, burritos, chicken, sauces and more. I haven't noticed any warping or uneven thickness, no rust, no cracks and even heating. So far so good and at this point I expect it'll last me many, many years! I can't wait to try using it on my woodstove this winter!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a rugged cast iron pan to use at our hunting lease. I liked the size and the high walls of this pan. It easily holds enough rolls, pancakes, sausage, bacon, and you name it for a hungry group of people, and evenly heats throughout the entire surface. I really appreciate this because I've other cast iron skillets that didn't. It has good weight and balance and I highly recommend this to anyone that likes the ease and durability of cooking in a cast iron skillet.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This skillet is no joke. From the moment you pick it up, you can tell it is well crafted. It is of course very heavy! I jokingly handed it to my kids and they about fell over trying to hold it. The square design is aesthetically pleasing and unique. It seems to work very well, as you would expect from a cast iron skillet. It heats evenly and has created some delicious meals for us!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been cooking for a long time, and I've used a lot of different skillets over the years. But I've never used a skillet that I like better than the Bayou Classic 12 Inch Square Cast Iron Cooking Skillet Pan with Helper Handle. This skillet is made of heavy-duty cast iron, so it's built to last. It can handle high heat and heavy use, and it's not going to warp or crack. The square shape is perfect for cooking large batches of food, and the helper handle makes it easy to move the skillet around in the kitchen. I've cooked everything from pancakes to steaks in this skillet, and it's always turned out great. The cast iron distributes heat evenly, so my food cooks evenly and doesn't burn. The skillet also holds heat well, so I can keep my food warm while I'm serving it. I especially like the helper handle on this skillet. It makes it easy to move the skillet around, even when it's full of hot food. I don't have to worry about dropping it or burning myself. Overall, I think the Bayou Classic 12 Inch Square Cast Iron Cooking Skillet Pan with Helper Handle is a great skillet for anyone who loves to cook. It's durable, versatile, and easy to use. I highly recommend it.
