Utopia Kitchen Cast Iron Skillet Set 3 Piece 6 8 10 Inch PFAS-Free Black

*LATEST AND MOST MOIST UPDATE APRIL 15 2026* So now I am using this cast iron pan with a new mini hibachi/yakitori grill, the IronMaster cast iron grill ci-1608M With the duraflame charcoal logs. Why? I’ll tell you why and then you will know why and you’ll be like, “oh that’s why”. Here’s why. The little logs get super freakin hot, hotter than gas or regular charcoal. So you put like 7-8 logs in the grill with fire starters under the bottom rack and light through the air inlet slot-it’s the easiest way and less wasteful then a chimney that lights the logs really unevenly. Then wait 20 minutes at which point the logs are hotter than 600 degrees and they are grey. Then put the skillet on the grill for like 3-5 minutes and it is mega hot but handle stays cool. The grills footprint is perfect for the big pan and the smaller ones are fine too. Together it is like one super hot package of cast iron. With this I do a super hot sear in Amish butter roll butter on thick beef fillets of 4 lbs per set (4x1 lb medallions), and then transfer right to the grill to finish. If you like cast iron this is a great and fun combo to try. It’s actually convenient and efficient with delicious results and not to mention it is an indestructible and quite portable package. The pans are still like new and maintain themselves at this point. And I’ve been using grapeseed oil more with them. It’s great for high heat but will impart a pleasant sweet accent to your food so that should be considered in choosing it vs avocado oil which is much more neutral but for beef it’s beef tallow and/or butter finish. We made some great fried rice in the big pan recently and it s as good as in the wok but not so easy to flip around. Definitely easier with a wok. I still have not ever put soap on the pans, just boiling water to clean and sterilize. *Update Jan 25 2026* No issues at all rock solid and rust free. Been making blackened chicken outside. Super hot pan with a little oil and I use chef Paul Prudhommes blackened REDFISH MAGIC. -it’s so good- and slap blackened season chicken breast on there for like 30 seconds a side and finish in oven. The heat a cast iron pan handles is the KEY for proper blackened seasoning finish. The smell is incredible. Without a cast iron skillet it’s not correct. This pan is as clean as the day I got it still. All I do is boil water in it after use to keep it. I mean yes it is just a cast iron pan set but with all the crap that masquerades as quality stuff it’s nice to know that for a decent price there are still products that can last like things used to. Especially when it’s always questionable as to what things are really made from when it comes to metal products from china/india/Pak, so it’s legit. *Update* we have been using these a lot a lot. Holding up great and rust free. Minimal maintenance for sure. After using the easiest way to clean them is simply to boil water in them for a few minutes and they come out clean and smooth. Not much need to re-oil but a light coat of oil doesn’t hurt if not using often. On the stovetop inside, a medium heat like 5-6 keeps the smoke in check from butter especially since smoke point is so low for butter. Avocado oil works great for least smoke. Outdoors I cook as hot as possible with these. Great set. Once seasoned they are right on. Heavy weight and expected usability. Just keep them oiled and they won’t rust. The little one ended up in the dishwasher once and I had to reseason it after removing rust so I don’t recommend that. Also you have to know how to use them indoors; lower heat and they like tallow. It smokes much less than other oils or butters or both. I use all three sometimes together on heart attack night. They have a smoother bottom than some cast iron I have used so that is good too.

Good quality!! Definitely worth the money. I season mine and keep them oiled and never have a sticking issue!!!

Made of good cast iron. They are pre seasoned, but with use and “NEVER” wash them. They will eventually become more seasoned. My only complaint is the handles need to be longer. The short handles are a little difficult for me to use.

Very nice quality but color is more sage than Kelly green. Three sizes are perfect for different amounts of food prep. Handles do get hot so you need a handle holder.

These are great. I love the blue outer color and that they are oven safe. They sent instructions on what to do before the first use which was nice. I was kind of surprised at how small the smallest was, but I already had some corning dishes that size and this definitely won't break if I drop it. Plus, I can make a single serving of something in the smaller pan. The medium is nice and the large is definitely a good size. This was a good value.

I like them but please follow the instructions. I didn’t with the smallest one and I made a mess with my morning egg and vegetables. Apart from this they are gorgeous.

Picture is deceiving, set as much smaller than the picture looks! Suggest you get your measuring tape out to see just how big of a frying pan you’re gonna get because the large skillet I may be able to get two fried eggs in at the same time. Or you might be able to cook a small omelette in it. Very disappointed.!

I did a lot of research on cast iron and maintenance before I bought a cheap set of pans to start off with. We’re from the south and are familiar with it but never used it ourselves. After using non stick pans that have become less desirable after two years I made the plunge and glad I did! I wish I had done it sooner. (Saturday) After cleaning them with hot water and dawn, I warmed them in the over for 5-10mins to get rid of the water. I spent the day seasoning the pans with bacon grease. I did 5 coats and was satisfied with the slickness, glass look, and patina of the iron. I put them up. (Monday) I used my 10in pan for the first time. I made bacon and eggs. Warmed up the pan and it was perfect! Non stick and food seemed to taste better?! I’m not sure but it could just be me. I see a-lot of people saying it’s bad quality because it rusts but that’s what happens with metal when exposed to water. And not all dishwashers dry very well to where water will exit the pan with the washer alone so it would be best to still heat it up in the oven as soon as the dishwasher is done. Also it needs OIL to prevent it from rusting as well. Oil lubricates the metal and keeps it nonstick so after every wash it’s best to oil the pan down and/or season before storage. Using the pan with fatty meats/frying often is also a great way to season the pan without having to oil and heat it for hours. There are plenty of people on YouTube that give steps, you just have to do you research! Cast iron is cast iron and what determines bad quality is HEAT DISTRIBUTION! These are very comparable to more expensive brands without the price!

Un assaisonnement supplémentaire est absolument nécessaire pour pouvoir s'en servir. Pour ma part, j'ai mis 4 couches de culottage avec l'huile d'olive et l'huile de lin (pas beaucoup de différence entrée les deux). Par la suite, il est important de bien doser l'huile, le beurre et la température de cuisson pour éviter que les aliments collent. Les poêles donnent une sensation de solidité et procurent beaucoup de plaisir en cuisine. Pour aller plus loin, j'ai fait aussi un test, et j'ai procédé au polissage du fond d'une de poêles. Le résultat est intéressant, mais l'amélioration n'est pas énorme.

Not worthy and quality is bad

I bought these skillets and they rust soo bad don’t buy then

Great product, even heating allowing for great searing.

Sono pentole in ghisa di misure piccole quindi non pesano tanto, ottime per cucinare porzioni per una due persone senza usare la pentola grande che pesa molto ... Attenzione se non sapete come si tiene una pentola in ghisa fareste meglio ad informarvi è sicuramente più impegnativa di una pentola in teflon acciaio o altro ma se vi piace cucinare e non volete continuare a cambiare padella ogni volta che si graffia sono pentole fantastiche, chi mette una stella perché si è arruginata dopo averla lasciata in ammollo ho messa in lavostoviglie, mi dispiace ma se non sapete leggere non è colpa del prodotto
