Not sure if they've done them before but anyone know if they're any good? Seems like good prices, which is making me a bit suspicious!

I have one I bought in lidl years ago and it is a trusty workhorse. They're usually similar quality.

Those frying pans are enameled inside & out, and say rated to 250C.

I got an uncoated preseasoned 12" cast iron pan in TK max for 23euro, I get it ridiculously hot for doing smash burgers and steak. I don't think those pans would suit me -others might say otherwise.

Don't have a pan (I'd go unenamelled for that) but I've had a casserole and a cocotte for over ten years each on heavy rotation and they're both still going strong.

They're getting great write-ups in the UK press.
