The first skillet I received was badly warped, but Amazon sent a replacement right away.
These cast iron skillets are not "seasoned" which is what I was looking for. They are rough when new and require a fair amount of work before curing: Removing the protective wax coating, sanding the inside (is a must), coating with vegetable oil and then curing at 500f in an oven for an hour. Read on the web "Cast Iron Jack McGrew's" method for curing cast iron. If done correctly they are excellent and the final product is better than the pre-seasoned skillets.
At 20 inches and 33lbs these skillets are huge but we always fill it up; eight to ten slices of french toast or two pounds+ of bacon or three to five pounds of potatoes.
For even heat control, use over a sturdy gas burner (Bayou Classic's Banjo cooker) or a fire grate with low coals.

Skillet was just as advertised and good quality. The packing left a lot to be desired and one broke in transit, which Amazon replaced. Hopefully the vendor will get the message that a simple cardboard box is inadequate for an item of this size and weight, even if it is made from cast iron.

The skillet looks like it is just what I was looking for, but it came "Cracked". This was due to the fact that it was poorly packaged, it was simply put in a cardboard box, with NO foam, newspaper, or bubble wrap, to protect it during shipment. I notified Amazon, and they promptly replaced it, with another cracked skillet.
If I could get one, without a crack in it, I would give it 5 stars.

Only negative is that the center of the skillet is higher than outside edges, however this allows the grease to run to the outside edge of the skillet. I used this skillet on an antique Kalimazoo Cook Stove, it worked great, had no problems cooking 2 pound bacon then 2 dozen eggs. The design on the bottom is great since I display it hanging on a wall. If you are going to use it on a regular stove, you may need to make a frame work to hold it above the countertop to keep it from scorching it.
I know how big 20 inches is. December 5, 2006

I own a yard stick. This thing is exactly what I need. I use it outdoor on my large 3 legged propane cooker. I take it camping with the boy scouts. The first meal we made was fajitas. It easly swallowed up 2 gallons of raw peppers and onions. Then we dumped 8 pounds of season chicken in the skillet. We fed 14 people for dinner.
I have also used it for fried chicken. It is awsome.
