[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though I measured out 16 inches before ordering, I was still amazed at how large this skillet is. Truly big enough to cook up a feast. It came seasoned, although I still expect the seasoning to improve with usage. The one thing I'd suggest with this is to thoroughly pre-heat before using -- since it's so large, it should be completely pre-heated so that it cooks evenly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wanted a BIG cast iron for my smoker, boy is this it! It's big enough to handle a whole turkey if you wanted to. I use it for all kinds of things and find myself looking for reasons to use it. Only downside is storing it.
