Judge Gratin Dish

I wanted a small dish to grill individual burgers or a couple of sausages etc and I prefer cast iron to coated non-stick pans. This one is great at this price and the wooden serving tray is just a handy bonus as a pot stand for use straight out of the oven. I really don't understand the numerous reviews for many cast iron pans that talk about rust or discolouration or food sticking...as long as you do the following:1. season it well before first use2. let it cool after cooking in it, and then clean it using just hot water and a steel (or similarly tough) scourer (no soap!) and definitely don't put in a dishwasher3. make sure it's fully dry straight away...don't let it sit in a dish rack4. do not cook acidic foods like tomatoes or vinegar in it (it will remove the seasoning)5. wipe a little vegetable oil over the full cooking surface with a paper towel.Following these simple rules I've never had to re-season a pan and all my cast iron pans (and carbon steel ones) are more non-stick than teflon. The more you use them the more non-stick they become!

Ideal for my purpose

The quality is good, but the size is small and I should have paid more attention to one of the reviews. Saying it would serve 2 -4 is pushing it, 1-2 maybe! The internal base dimensions are 14.5cm x 9cm so I don't know where they measured the 16cm x 11cm. I am keeping it as it will have its uses but not what I had intended it for

All as described. Good quality with a good cooking surface after proper seasoning.Ignore the bad reviews where they failed to read the advert. The size is as advertised and this is cast iron so is not dishwasher safe and will rust if not looked after properly.Loose one star because the handle only fits in one position around the rim. Fortunately the belt linisher fixed that problem for me.

Love it

Very pleased with item

I did have to return these as they were too small. However, they are great quality.

Poor quality!
