It cooks perfectly, but it doesn't have the quality needed in the coating, resulting in rust when it dries after washing. (always, from the first use, I burn it first and then coat it with sunflower oil. Then I dry it well and use it). However, it is definitely worth its money as a better quality coating in this weight and this quality of cast iron is 3-4 times more expensive. Personally, I recommend it, as long as the proper preparation and maintenance of the coating is done.
