I recently purchased a black cast iron skillet from Kitchen Kaboodle. I needed a new skillet, as my old one had found an untimely death of being torched in a grease fire on the top of my stove. (My fault, not the skillet's.) Kitchen Kaboodle sold my boyfriend and myself on the idea of a black cast iron skillet, sure to outlast us, completely un-ruin-able... That is, as long as you never wash it with soap. That being said, it is hard to keep a pan in your kitchen that is never to be cleaned with out soap. While this was not Kitchen Kaboodle's fault, the pan bit the dust.
Pros: great customer service
Cons: i've been known to ruin cooking pans...
