1 was good and the other was bare metal
4 Stars
1 was good and the other was bare metal
I bought 2, but they look different from one another. One is black, like your cast iron skillet, and the other gray like bare metal. I cleaned both of them, and the gray one stater rusting immediately. I'm no cast iron expert but it really looks like it's completely untreated where the other one is. I'm going to exchange the gray one and see if they send me another black one. If they send me a gray one again, rating will go down.
