You are missing my point here Capt. For $72 bucks thats why I am asking if it has some super duper coating on it. I know I can get a cast iron one for a lot cheaper so hence my question
Just something to keep in mind:
Even the "pre-seaoned" cast iron REALLY benefits from continued seasoning ( frankly - I don't really consider it seasoned until I have done so regardless of the label ) - or a good, long high heat real seasoning at home before you use it the first time.
I never have anything stick to my cast iron that has been thoroughly seasoned before use. Most of us here in the South are fanatical about seasoning our cast iron, so it may not have been a "point miss " - rather an interpretive difference in "when" cast iron is considered truly useable by some.
