When I'm in the Kitchen, I become: Self-proclaimed Gourmet
I purchased these for my husband for Christmas as he loves to cook. These pans are excellent for searing meats and then pop into the oven for final cooking time. They are extremely well made, dense pans and have the added benefits of being made of iron, but with a steel type finish so it's the best of both worlds. Chef's Catalog had the very best price for these pans as I searched for a better deal and could not find one. Consequently, they were on backorder until after Christmas, but my husband did not mind.
