Lodge Cast-Iron Cookware Demo - Cooking.com Interview

[jairokg]

it performs just as good as the $280 Le Creuset...... but the price makes it superior by far.....

Love Lodge cast iron. Own and use skillets daily. Would NEVER buy any cookware made in China.

Purchasing their loaf pans for home made bread. Normally use Chicago Metallic Commercial, but the alluminized steel is only so so for bread. Cast iron is the way to go. I sure hope they never move their cast iron business to China.

Sorry Lodge, I respect your cast iron but the enameled is said to be made in China, I won't buy if it's made in China. Its all about reputation and quality and those two don't mix.

[freeheretic111]

Lodge rocks! After years of trying out different cookware, I'm increasingly going back to cast iron. For quality and price, Lodge tradtional cookware is the best.

[2brello]

Funny that they mention they're an American company, yet push their made in china enamel pans.

[RushProbeSix]

I couldn't agree more...

I would admire them a great deal more, even if their goods were a bit costlier, if their products were produced domestically. But to promote their products under the guise of being domestic while they're made in China is inexcusable.

@RushProbeSix

And really, their cast iron pans are nice. I use several of them and like them a lot. I assume the reasoning behind the coated pans being made elsewhere is because they lack the necessary equipment for enamel coating, but it's still a bit silly to state how proud they are to be an American company in Tennessee in one scene, and pushing their foreign made product in another.

[freeheretic111]

@RushProbeSix The enamal goods are made in China while the other cast iron is made in the USA.

[XDIfYoureRebelEnough]

I think Le Creuset is so much better!

And it lasts a lifetime!

I LOVE it!

[freeheretic111]

@XDIfYoureRebelEnough I read reviews from major cooking magazines when I was shopping for a grill pan that compared the different manufacturers. The Lodge grill pan was not only the least expensive it was also rated the best. BTW, Lodge lasts more than a lifetime as it can be heirloom if a person takes care of it.

[Bruins90210]

Looks good but I had to go with Le Creuset and was on sale from $350 to $175.but had to settle for red not orange.

[Homemadecooks]

Finally cast iron at a reasonable price that works well.

[joness105639]

and made here in the usa too!

[delicateblu]

Great! I was thinking about making some major purchases of Le Creuset, thinking they'd last me a lifetime. Now, I'd rather by American. I trust you have a Web site? I'll soon find out. Your products look great! JM

[viewitnow]

Lodge Cast Iron is the best, by far!

[NoirMusic]

LOL the Enameled stuff is made in China.

[freeheretic111]

@NoirMusic Yes it is and Lodge is still an American owned company overseeing quality control in China. With how the US economy and jobs ar hurting so much here, if I was going to buy enamal cast iron cookware (I own the traditional cast iron) I'd still go Lodge.
