Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Cooks Illustrated reviewed this product favorably and was the catalyst for my purchase.To have something with all the benefits of cast iron and the benefits of stainless steel was worth the extra expense.
It's pretty disappointing that these expecations were never met.
The skillet arrived with a "hole" in the cooking surface about the size of a pinhead.I was very concerned about this and tried to contact Olvida directly about it.Turns out Olvida is just a marketing label and this product is turned out by a small plating foundry in the Eastern United States. After expressing my concern about the hole, I was told not to worry about it as the nickel plating was 100% covered and was safe to use.
Still not convinced, I cooked up a pair of cheap pieces of meat just to put it through a single use cycle.Olive oil, pork, spices - it cooked evently but was an absolute pain to clean.The finish was marred, discolored and showed very uneven heating discoloration.I followed the directions for cleaning and then put it in the dishwasher once it cooled.
When I pulled it out, that single pin hole I was concerned about showed it's true colors.Rust. The assurances that I was given that the product was safe and as described were false.
Save your money, get a regular cast iron or a ceramic cast iron and put the elbow grease into maintaining it.It'll be worth it in the long run.
Do not purchase this product.
