My boyfriend loves this little skillet. He really wanted an iron skillet but I should have thought seriously about how small a 6 inch pan really is. When I got in the mail, I thought no way.. I wasn't sure he'd actually even be able to cook anything in it, it looks tiny on the stove!! But he uses it every chance he gets & loves it. We're calling it practice until he finds a big one. Very durable and he'll probably have it forever.
