Thank you for taking the time to review BuyMeOnce, I am sorry if you are not completely happy with your purchase. I can assure you that there's no pan which can compare, the wrought iron makes it much lighter than any other cast iron pan, it is a pan built for strength and performance! You also do not have a non-stick, toxic coating (which tends to last about 3 years) to worry about with Solidteknics!
