Utopia Kitchen Saute Fry Pan – Pre-Seasoned Solid Iron Skillets Set 3-Piece Frying Pan comprised of 6″, 8″, and 10″ Solid Iron Pan – Simple Use within the Oven, Range, Grill, or Campfire – Black

Exceptional Value for a High-Quality Cast Iron Skillet Set
I recently purchased the Utopia Kitchen 3-Piece Cast Iron Skillet Set, and it has quickly become a staple in my kitchen. Here’s why I’m thoroughly impressed:
Quality & Durability:
Heavy-Duty Construction: These skillets are incredibly sturdy, made from high-quality cast iron. They heat evenly, which is crucial for achieving the perfect sear on meats and veggies.
Pre-Seasoned Surface: The pre-seasoning is a great starting point. With a bit of additional seasoning before use, these pans have become naturally non-stick, making cooking and cleaning much easier.
Versatility:
Three Convenient Sizes: The set includes 6-inch, 8-inch, and 10-inch skillets, which are perfect for different cooking needs. I’ve used the 6-inch for small meals or frying an egg, the 8-inch for sautéing vegetables, and the 10-inch for larger meals like steaks or stir-fries.
Oven Safe: These skillets can go from stovetop to oven, making them ideal for recipes that require high heat or need to be finished in the oven.
Performance:
Even Heat Distribution: I’ve noticed a significant difference in the way these skillets cook compared to my old pans. The even heat distribution helps cook food uniformly, preventing hotspots.
Retains Heat: Once heated, these skillets retain their temperature exceptionally well, which is perfect for dishes that need consistent heat.
Care & Maintenance:
Easy to Maintain: After each use, I simply rinse with hot water and scrub with a stiff brush. A light coat of oil keeps them in great condition. Just remember to dry them thoroughly to prevent rust.
Pros:
High-quality cast iron at an affordable price.
Versatile with three different sizes.
Pre-seasoned, but easy to add more seasoning for better non-stick performance.
Excellent heat retention and even cooking.
Cons:
They are heavy, so be prepared for that if you’re not used to cast iron.
Handles get very hot during cooking, so be sure to use oven mitts or handle covers.
Conclusion: Overall, the Utopia Kitchen Cast Iron Skillet Set is a fantastic value. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or just starting out, these skillets will elevate your cooking experience. I highly recommend this set to anyone looking for durable, versatile, and affordable cast iron cookware.

Cooked p great and great price
Cornbread and roast beef dinner. used these pots to sear the roast before putting in the slow cooker. Great outcome

The “preseason” is a fad – sticky and rusty
This isn’t my first rodeo with cast iron pans. This nifty little triplet come in different sizes, with the smaller two hardly being big enough to fit anything more than one or two fried eggs in. Oh, and they’re pretty hefty (but manageable).
Size often doesn’t matter, it’s what you can do or want to do with it, obviously. However, I used only the largest pan. They come “preseasoned” that makes it appear and the average person think that it’s ready to use out of the box; but do not be fooled by this claim.
I put it to the test and used the largest pan right out of the box – the meat was sticking and left an awful residue on the bottom of the pan. I scrubbed it until what seemed like my fingers would bleed and finally got it to a point where I thought it was clean. Onto the next trial!
I stripped the pans. And then I reseasoned them quite a few times over a 12 hour period, and then once more the next day. Yes, the smell was not nice but I figured these seemed durable and well made so might as well give them a second chance. I tried the same meal later, unfortunately same issue – things sticking to the bottom and making it nearly impossible to clean.
I’ve never had a problem with cast irons sticking so much. Not sure what’s up with these, but preseason or self season didn’t seem to want to stick on the pan.

Does The Job Admirably, But With A Some Minor Disappointments
I liked the idea of having a color-coordinated set of cast iron skillets. These work just as cast iron pans should. They are solid, hefty, and when treated well they respond nicely. My only disappointments are: The green is a much lighter shade that appears in the photographs. Sadly it very quickly becomes tarnished on a gas oven stove. And you very definitely need a holder as the handles become hot quickly. Still recommended with these caveats.

Nachdem ich von meiner 30cm Burnhardt Pfanne schon so begeistert war, habe ich mir dieses Set mit verschiedenen Größen gekauft. Erst war ich etwas skeptisch, schließlich ist dieses 3er Set sogar noch 10€ günstiger als die Burnhardt Einzelpfanne. Aber die Skepsis ist unberechtigt, qualitativ kommt es nicht ganz an die Burnhardt heran, aber dennoch, nach einigen Einbrenndurchgängen mit Leinöl im Backofen, entsteht eine sehr schöne Oberfläche, die ein tolles Bratergebnis liefert und danach nur mit heißem Wasser und Schwamm einfach gesäubert wird. Die Oberfläche ist im Vergleich nicht ganz so homogen verarbeitet, wie die teure Pfanne, aber das ist jammern auf hohem Niveau und fällt nur im direkten Vergleich auf. Von schlecht kann man hier ganz und gar nicht reden. Generell gilt aber für alle Gusseisenpfannen, das sie etwas mehr Pflege benötigen. Man sollte sie nur komplett getrocknet beiseite stellen und mit dem ein oder anderen Tröpfchen Öl verteilt auf der Oberfläche, macht man sicher auch nichts falsch. Eisen kann nun mal rosten (bei mir bisher gar nicht), aber die Pflege machts.
