And the price looks to good to be true. :-/ What do you guys think? Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.

I've got at least 2 cast iron skillets around here, but haven't bought one recently. They're all at least 30 years old and have machined inside surfaces. The one that was used most was a #10 (10.5" outside diameter, about 8.5 inch flat bottom). It's good for cooking 3-4 chicken breasts, lots of fried eggs, etc. The one you found might be good for omelets and so forth as the sides seem to be sloped more. I have also located a #5 which would be good for small items (e.g. eggs for one). Cast iron pans should be inexpensive. http://shop.ebay.com...=p3286.m270.l1313 Especially being so close to China, you shouldn't have any trouble finding a decent one for little money. :-) There's no advantage I can think of in buying new over a decently cared for used one - they all look the same after they've been used a few times. Good luck! Cheers, Scott.
