Promising review: "We've had these for about six months now, and they are still holding up great!! I was hesitant about the price since they were so cheap, but we've been more than impressed. They are light (which we like, I know some do not, so take note) and haven't bent. We'll definitely buy these again!" —NCLady97
Price: $15 for 20 pieces
Promising review: "Bought this for my mother-in-law as a gift and she absolutely loves it! It’s perfect for her because she’s the only coffee drinker in her house. It’s easy and fast for her to use! She uses it daily! It also looks so cute sitting on her counter being that she can leave it out due to the small compact size of the unit." —Amanda

Promising review: "I really like this pan. I prefer cast iron overall, and I needed a larger one than the 10-inch I have, and I find I use this more than I thought I would. The extra surface area is nice. It's seasoned well and works great on our gas range as well as in the oven. It is heavy, but I just lift it with two hands. I plan to buy a glass lid to fit it soon." —ttonthestreet
