" ... Very sturdy, deep cast iron. ... "
" ... Wrapped it up nice!😁👍🏻 ... "
" ... We had one of these for about 5 years, which in itself is decent, but then I found out other people had been using metal utensils in it every time they cooked, so the fact that it lasted that long was amazing. ... Do not use metal utensils in this and it should last a very long time, and for the price, it's a steal. ... "
