Camp Chef True Seasoned Cast Iron Pie Pan 10" CIPIE10

Something must have happened to quality control since these earlier reviews were written. I based my order upon these other five star reviews. I'll have to assume that the writers were honest and don't work for Sante.

What I took out of the box was a cheaply cast piece of junk ... the iron was pitted, slag chunks were on the side, someone had taken a sander to crudely remove one of them, and to call the quality of the casting "poor" would be raving praise. You could even see swirls in the metal due to temperature differentiation. They must have cast this is someone's barbecue (in China, because that is where it was made).

I went back and read the most popular review of this, by PJ, and the condition of my pan was the polar opposite of what he describes. I guess they cheapened it.

I'm a Prime member and have ordered more than 100 items per year from Amazon. I've only sent one thing back, a pair of shoes that were the wrong size.

This will be item 2.

I am new to cast iron and love this pan. You do need to look up how to take care of your pans (never, ever use soap!), but they give an excellent flavor and are a wonderful kitchen tool. This is not only for pies, but for anything that might need cooking in the oven. We had some great cornbread made in this pan. It gives such a great flavor that glass and other pans cannot give.

I recently purchased many items from the Sante/Cabin Kitchen cast iron line (loaf pan, pie pan, and pizza pans) and a Lodge Logic skillet. I do prefer the seasoning on the Lodge pan to the seasoning on the Sante line, but that was taken care of with a bit of scrubbing and re-seasoning of the Sante pans. The seasoning on the Sante pans gave a slightly odd smell the first time the pan was heated and turned my dishwashing brush brown the first time I cleaned it (before using it). Once the brown stopped coming off, I used my own oil (Grapeseed) to condition it. The tag recommends using their brand conditioner, but I would guess it is why the pan smelled a bit funny and was coming off brown/black, so I won't be buying that. I have had no issues with my pans since I used Grapeseed oil and they are wonderful.

I use Grapeseed oil to condition/season my pans and always heat them in the oven to make sure they are completely dry. (I used Canola oil once to condition it and it just leaves a sticky, gooey mess). If some food is totally stuck on the pan, you can use a mixture of salt and oil to scrub the pan. You will need to be sure to oil and heat the pan after this.

I only bought one of these to start but now I am wishing for one more since I like to make pies/quiches in sets of two (we are a family of four good eaters with a fifth on the way).

I love old-time cooking, including pies.I make my own pie crusts and all... I even use a few antique items to put me in the mood.I also love cast iron cookware so I was excited when I found this item.I received it and it really is great quality!No huge pores or sketchy looking spots that you find with some cheap cast iron pans (I don't know about now days but old foreign made pans you have to inspect pretty well).Anyway, it has the brand Cabin Kitchen and a little cabin molded on the bottom and is just all around attractive.As with all cast iron the heat distribution is nice and even.The crust did not shrink even a hair.Best of all this is pre-seasoned so it doesn't stick.Looks great on a shelf or wall too next to the antique rolling pin when not in use.I also made some corn bread in it...just because I wanted to :)You can't beat the price and I shouldn't have to mention durability.This sucker will last forever as long as you don't put it in the dishwasher..!

This is a fine cast iron pie pan, with thinner, tapered edges (as seen from the product photo). Even so, it has a very nice heft, and was as pre-seasoned as any of my Lodge pre-seasoned products when i first received them. i was originally a bit hesitant to purchase this product based on some of the poor reviews of non-Lodge pans, but took the chance anyway, mainly because there were few options for a cast iron pie pan, and none had the unique edging this one has.I've now used it for frying bacon and eggs on the stove like a griddle, and i've just made cinnamon rolls this morning (see pictures i've attached to this review).I've yet to make a pie, but i highly recommend this productit works as you would expect from cast iron, which is my metal of choice for baking.

Note: oddly, my cinnamon roll pics are not showing up here and keep disappearing after a day... sorry if you are not seeing them either at this time. However,they rise up fluffy and light, don't stick to the pan even with syrupy sugar, and the pan stays warm for longer than they're around!
