I returned this product as this was too heavy for hme use.Build quality was really good. Its good for restaurants or commercial usage not for home usage.
Parameswaram –
Very good Products. Thanks.
Kiranmayi –
Product is very sturdy. It’s been few days into use. I’m conditioning it with oil after every wash. As suggested by other customers reviews, I have been only washing it with hot water and plastic scrub. Hopefully it will last long.
Swathy S –
Well the product was superb. O had used it for frying and it was great using it. One issue is that its too big if you are cooking for 2 or 3 people i used it during holidays when there was family get together so found it useful if for daily use go for a smaller size than the 15 inch model. I will be ordering a smaller one when it’s get back on stock.

This is beautiful cast iron pan. Works well with less oil. It’s sturdy and thick.
Shivam Arora –
Heavy Pan for all type of cooking Indian dishes
Anirban Roy –
I often use it on holidays to cook.It’s huge in size.15 inch skillet is really big for a small family.Actual weight is around 4.6 Kg. Suitable for gas top,but not good for induction because of uneven distribution of heat.After two seasoning with mustard oil the nonsticky property is quite felt.Very good for slow cooking.Dont pour cool water into hot vessel,otherwise it will be cracked.

I love it soooo much, I have been searching for this in shops for a longgg time , then finally I bought it here, the best decision indeed, mine is a family of 3 and at first it looked verryy biggg but it isn’t, it is heavy , no denying it, but it is very good, people throw away your non stick and buy this stuff, it’s so good and very healthy too. I m happy with the product
Himani –
This is the first cast iron utensil I have bought. I have used it quite a few times to make fried dry vegetable dishes which turned out to be fine. Just that I feel that the surface could be a lil bit more smooth.
Aaditya –
Product is really good but 15inch is too big for standard household oven. Also speaking of gas stoves, even heat distribution would not be possible considering the 38cm diameter. Too heavy for gas stoves as the glass base material on your stove/hob might gets damaged due to the weight. Returned this one and purchased 12 inch variant
shariyath –
Its is sturdy enough but not for home use. May be suitable for commercial purposes, it is too big in size n heavy weight I bought it for my home use + commercial but it serves commercial purposes only, I made home made multigrain n calcium mix ,this pan is perfect for slow roast, my page is @grandmas_made you can refer the pictures n videos of this pan.

Giving it 5 stars bczzz…. Its something i always wanted… wanted a cast iron cookware fr long but wasnt sure like if m gonna use it actually after buying and how to maintain it.. was aware of its health benefits but was lazy to find something like this… was always tempted watching English movies whr some cow boys using this kinda skillet out somewhere or fire camp.. nyways…
I was in love with the brand Lodge, USA. But its too expensive to try with.. So i found this here..
Its very impressive… quite heavy, well balanced designed and seasoned… everything u want ur skillet to be like… cooked once and very 1st time in skillet… as expected after watching all the videos on YouTube about using and maintaining the skillet… its good…. cooked chicken and it came out good nd well cooked fr any beginner… the skillet is quite heavy for my mom to pick it single hand but thats what cast iron skillets are known for.. heavy and good heat conductor… easy to clean if u r using enough oil and putting food at rite temperature… i wiped my skillet with kitchen towel and it was clean like unused.. but still i used liquid soap for my satisfaction..
I dried it well with kitchen towel before putting it off… the seasoning is good.. hopefully it will last bit long and i will season it accordingly after that…
I luvd it and did nough showoff to my friends 😁
Keep cooking and luving xx

Love this utensil.
If you know how to take care of this, it will last you for a long time.
I use peanut oil for seasoning.
I have been using it daily since i bought it a week ago.
The safety sleeve still gets warm but bearable. It’s better than using a cloth.
In love with this product and the sleeve. Thank you.
Bryan –
It’s heavy and not easy to lift, the seasoning isn’t good so you will have to season it again. Don’t buy the largest one like I did, go for a smaller size
Anmol k. –
All is good but it is to big and heavy
Karun /Amritha –
It’s a usual cast iron pan and does the job. Do not buy it if you are not aware of the maintenance of a cast iron pan… Quite heavy… I liked it… But since it too wide normal stove top is struggling to keep it well heated all around the pan…
Kalpita khandekar –
I have 2 of these pans , one large size and one xxxl size . I use both of them regularly for cooking. Once you season it with oil and heat it , it gets nice and nonsticky. The more you’ll use , the more better it will get .
Truth Nothing Else –
There is absolutely no problem with the product itself. You can’t handle it with one hand thats how heavy it is..
The problem is the heat doesn’t spread uniformly. I am using a prestige valentino gas stove. It takes a while to heat up even in the big burner. I tried dosa it slighly burns in the middle although this is not made for it. But I think its my fault and inaccuracy with the heat control.. Will post more review when I use it for some more time.. i have used it just for 2 days now.. it takes time to understand few things..but its a worth buying product if you have a big family.. else stick with the smaller ones..
Venkat –
It’s too heavy, Easily cook up to 2kg eg chicken. Cleaning is bit difficult because of its weight, but worth of cleaning as it’s severs delicious food on every use.
Ghansham Jessani –
Everything about the product is mind-blowing and exotically beautiful. A must buy for every home.
ROBERT MARK –
If you have a family of four or more than buy this pan 12 inch size specially
It’s very big in size and extremely heavy..
Built out of pure cast so be prepared to cook by keeping this thing at one position in stove
Cannot use it for stir frying it’s impossible because of it’s weight
Overall best nuy for buck
Suresh Babu –
Liked it, very much. Everything good; the weight, the size. Unfortunately, the pan is not concave so frying whole fish is a problem as the entire body does not come in contact with the pan (1st Image). Indeed a Good Product! By the by do you have a pan of the same size with little concave base?
shiva –
Solid packaging and solid iron piece go for it
SA{M}ON –
Decent, value for money. The 12″ Skillet is heavy and big but perfect for preparing sufficient meal. You won’t be requiring a bigger skillet in future. Lift it with both hands so that you don’t hurt your wrist. There were few finger prints on the back side of the skillet. I assume it’s a returned product. But that’s ok with me.
But when I pored hot water into it to wash it… I saw few greyish marks on it. Even after washing, seasoning and cooking these grey marks are still visible. But I’ll continue to use the same pan because the issue seems to be the minor one.
Maintenance is required. Cast iron will survive forever if it’s well cared for, but it won’t forgive your clumsy mistakes.
Gayapada Santra –
Everything is average to good but best value for money… one thing to remember, this is bigger & heavier than u think.
Koushik Pal –
Please buy small size…. Because I go through medium size… But it is changing to me to daily use it …all others is fine… great product….
Prasanna –
Pros – Value for money, one time investment, easy to clean and safest way of cooking, wide enough which will save gas consumption and time of cooking will be reduces as veggies will be spread evenly.
Cons – Weight is heavy but within a week we should be use to it. Also handle is not additional joint which is really good but one need to be cautious to catch with cloth or mittens (We are habituated with extension handles).
GK –
I was surprised to see that the pan was much heavier than I had anticipated. It has a large capacity and so far I’ve been very pleased with the way my omelettes have turned out. It’s almost non stick. The only little problem is that it emits a strange burnt rubbery smell when it gets hot. Just hope that it doesn’t have some sort of non stick coating to it. Otherwise quite pleased.
sanjeev –
The nicest pant but if you don’t know how to use cast iron skillet or cast iron utensils please do not buy first just get to know how to use and how to take care of them and then I would suggest any one to buy these. these are really nice it takes a lot of care taking because it is iron and it can get rusty very easily but the food is cooked in the skillet are amazing that is really nice flavours favouring is really good and yes you can make the best steak in it aur anything you need to big it can directly be kept in the oven for baking it is a good utensil must have
Jatinderpal singh –
just go in your kitchen and throw away your aluminum steel or nonstick pans…
And simply purchase iron or cast iron skillets
These are the best and safest and healthiest for cooking. It gives the iron content alittle bit to your food as compared to iron pan.
I am using both iron utensils and cast iron skillet.
Difference is iron utensils are made of beating and heating raw iron plates but cast iron is made by melting the iron then putting that lava into the moulds… no chemicals and other metals are there in both of these.
But these are the best for your cooking and health.
Maintenance
Yes these things require maintenance but that too is not difficult or a headache just keep them dry and seasoned (for seasoning just apply oil to the warm skillet or iron pan heat them thoroughly and store them)
They are really really very good.
This skillet is of very good quality no issues loved it liked it and using it.
CAUTION
DO NOT DROP IT especially on ur foot then only you will dislike it
Sudhakar –
Loved it.
Venkatesh A. –
Good quality
Sanjay –
Please note that, it is very good sturdy pan, but it is too heavy to lift, you need your both hands to lift.
This is good for restaurant and dhaba’s. And since this was too heavy, I had to return it.
siyad… –
The pan was very good but ma purchase has completely wrong size its toooooooo large
Jagnoor Maan –
So the handle also gets heated up. One needs to buy heat resistant gloves to work with the utensil, otherwise I think it is very sturdy, heats up well and evenly across and super easy to clean.
Roy Quadros –
Very good and sturdy pan. Quite heavy also. So if you want to keep turning, must be careful.
Food turns out delicious when cooking on skillet pan.
But only negative part is the pan is rusting quite fast. Its be only 3 meals and I can see the coating drying out. Yes you have layer it with oil. But that shows have been after a month use. This is visible after drying out with hot water.
Poonam ghosh –
Very satisfied purchase
