FS Kitchen Pre Seasoned Cast Iron Square Grill Pan, 10.5 Inch

I love cast iron pans.  They literally last forever with proper care.  What really got me into them is the fact that my daughter had low iron and was borderline anemic.  She loves broccoli and takes a multivitamin a day, and her levels were still a little low. So, we purchased one, because it is supposed to help raise your iron level.  Not only that, but everything just cooks better and more evenly in cast iron.

I was so excited about this pan.  It is 10 1/2", and you can grill, cook, or bake with it.  It says it is pre-seasoned and that you don't have to season it.  Normally, I do re-season my pans just for my added benefit, but I wanted to really test the non-stick aspect.  The ridges aid in low-fat cooking, as well as the grease, will drain off.  You can hang it by the handle as well.

So the first thing I tried was some hamburger patties I had in the freezer.  Again, I didn't season the pan like I normally do.  It is supposedly pre-seasoned.  I liked how the grease ran off the grooves in the pan and didn't soak into my burgers.  On the other hand, my burgers stuck like crazy.  They ended up tearing to pieces in the pan, and I ended up with a mess.

So after I cleaned the mess out of the pan I ended up seasoning the pan myself.  I then tried frying deer steak and chicken.  There was a tremendous difference.  No more sticking!  So just because the packaging says "pre-season" your best bet is to season it yourself.  That way you know for sure it is seasoned well.

I received this item at a discount.  All opinions are my own.
