Since the handle can be removed, I think I'll send it without the handle attached. It's used, but I think it's a well-seasoned iron frying pan. It's also thick, so it can be used as a pot. Before using this frying pan, heat it over high heat until it starts to smoke a little, and your food won't stick. It will be clean if you scrub it with a "Kamenoko Tawashi" (a type of scrubbing brush) immediately after cooking. This is just my personal opinion. I'm decluttering and getting rid of my frying pans. Some people say Teflon is not good for your health. This is iron and will last a long time. I had another similar one, but the thickness was different. Please do not buy this if you are concerned about minor details.
