Lodge Cast Iron is the best, by far!

[NoirMusic]

LOL the Enameled stuff is made in China.

[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.

@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.

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

[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.

[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.

@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.

[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.
