Do I need to season these skillets before first use?

No. The set is pre-seasoned and ready to cook with. Wash and dry it, then start cooking; the seasoning improves with use and a thin coat of oil after washing.

Will these work on an induction cooktop?

Yes. Cast iron is magnetic, so the skillets work on induction as well as gas and electric stoves, and they are oven safe.

Can I cook acidic foods like tomato sauce in them?

Only briefly, and only once the seasoning is well built up. Long simmers of acidic food can strip a thin seasoning and leave a metallic taste.

How do I clean and maintain cast iron?

Scrub with hot water and a stiff brush, dry it thoroughly on the stove, and rub in a thin layer of oil. Skip the dishwasher and avoid long soaking.

What sizes are in the set?

The set has three skillets in graduated sizes, from a small pan for eggs to a large one for searing and pizza. The recipe book covers uses for each.

Is cast iron better than nonstick for searing?

For high heat, yes. Cast iron holds heat far better than nonstick coatings, which are not meant for very high temperatures, so it gives a stronger crust on steak and fried food.

Our take on the 3-Piece Cast Iron Skillet Set (Recipe Included)

This is a set of three pre-seasoned cast iron skillets in graduated sizes, sold with a recipe book. Cast iron's main draw is heat: it holds temperature well and spreads it evenly, so it sears, fries and bakes better than thin aluminum or nonstick pans. It works on gas, electric and induction cooktops and goes into the oven. Against enameled cast iron it is cheaper and more forgiving of high heat, but it needs seasoning upkeep and weighs a lot. It suits cooks who want one durable pan for searing, cornbread and pizza and don't mind the weight.
