Is this heavy like cast iron? Weight?

The pans are heavier than normal cookware but not as heavy as the cast iron cookware. The 11" fry pan weighs about 3 lbs.

It's cast iron so it's solid. As it says in the Amazon description, it is 5.6 pounds. I love it!

no, not heavy at all. i actually don't use this one anywhere because it randomly stopped working but i can't say 100% that it wasn't because of something i did.

No - it is a heavy weight metal - we really like it - have used it for several months now.

I don't have a scale at home. but, feels like the same weight as lodge 12" pan, or even lighter. This wok is not heavy.

They are not heavy like cast iron. More like a good quality metal pan. I've used them for over a year now and am well satisfied.

As heavy as this pan is, just because of its size, a cast-iron pan of the same diameter would weight twice as much, and be pretty much impractical. My DeBuyer hangs from a hook in the wall. That would be impossible with cast-iron. I also like this has a nice non-stick quality right out of the box. (Not quite teflon, but pretty non-sticky!) This also makes it much easier to clean than any of the cast-iron I have.

No, it is an iron-coated alloy (aluminum?) of some kind. There seems to be some disagreement about this in the comments, but the shipping weight is only 5 lbs, including the tools and lid. By comparison, the shipping weight of a 14" lodge cast iron wok alone is more than twice that weight. Anyone who has used cast iron know that it's heavy.

I am not sure of the actual weight but this iron is heavier than most of the irons I have purchase before. It took some getting use to but I really like it now and it is a great iron lots of steam and no leaking of water.

It's pretty sturdy. The skillet I used on it is like a 10" Hard Anodized that weighs 2 lbs. and 4 oz. It seems plenty sturdy enough to handle something heavier. My cast iron skillet weighs like 4 lbs. I don't think it would have any issue with that. If you have a Walmart close by, you could go in and take a look at them. They were selling the same model for about $10 more than I paid on Amazon.

It is cast iron, very heavy with grooves on the bottom. We like it and have to be careful when lifting to ensure grease drips in the pan. We season after every use.

For a 10 inch skillet it's surprisingly heavy. A very solid and durable cast iron skillet!

It's pretty heavy but I don't know exactly. Just be aware that it is pretty large. check the actual measurements on the site and don't forget to allow for the handle that sticks out. I keep mine in the bottom drawer on my stove. I find it easier to keep my cast iron pans in the stove drawer and not mix them up with my other pots and pans.

I actually put the iron on a scale, it's 1/2 filled with water and it weighs about 2 lbs. It works well and I am pleased with my purchase!

It feels like Cast iron but is smoother heavy anodized aluminum. It works beautifully on a ceramic cooktop that is either off or high temp, otherwise impossible to regulate. It slips a little when shaking pans but you quickly learn to accommodate.

It is fairly heavy. It is as good as most steel cookware, maybe heavier. Used it on a gas stove.
