I have two heirloom skillets in 8 and 10 inch sizes and wanted a larger one when cooking for the family. The no. 12 skillet is the best. The seasoning is pefect and nonstick from the start. It heates evenly and the weight makes it easy to manuever. I preferred this over other brands because it has a larger surface area for cooking. The chain mail scrubber is the perfect way to keep cast iron clean.
I gifted my son in law one as well
