That's all that needs be said for those in the know. Lodge is the best cast iron you will ever get your hands on. I promise you. You can get it pre seasoned, too! I purchased a 12" Lodge skillet and lid and handle holders from Walmart. Com, where I have always bought my Lodge since I became an adult, in store. I moved far away and had to leave everything behind, so I am starting over. It would have been cheaper to buy it through Wal Mart, but I wanted to give Lodge a direct sale. It was $88.66 with shipping. There was a slight delay due to covid, but it has been so worth the wait. I've already made fried chicken and next I will make my mom's fudge recipe. RIP, mom. <3
They make some awesome cast iron pots and pans in Tennessee. They're seasoned well and durable as anything: you can hit the thick pots with your car and not break them. Cooking on cast iron rocks because you can't scratch teflon and ruin it like a normal pan. Only big downside is that a pan is heavy. It's a workout to lift a full cast iron soup pot.
I absolutely love Lodge cast iron. Their website is so bad that it makes me dislike the company because they refuse to hire competent website designers who can make a site that I can use. I prefer to buy from Lodge as an American company but their website is so bad I can't do it.
Everyday pan ad misleading. Designed with a lid, doesn't mean COMES WITH. Ordered unneeded xtra lid.
