Defintely a great price for "Made in the USA". Wonder if the steel is decent quality? It's cast iron, not steel. My experience is that Lodge cast iron is brittle. You have to be careful with it or it will break. Not so with my antique Griswold cast iron cookware.

Local Kroger (Fred Meyer) chain store frequently has incredible deals on good CI from Lodge. They also sell a house brand that looks to be okay.

Understood, and although I grew up around the old family fry pan, I've made a mistake or two myself.  Geno OTOH, FatCali was born with CI instinct...

Aint no tomato acid getting through great grandmas seasoned pan. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/L89P8w2K/649-D7-DD4-3-C68-4-A66-8325-B66687-C05-A85.jpg) That needs a stripping and re-season, I think your eating some of grandma’s sauce from 1958.

I looked at that link. That seems to be for those that dont know how to reseason CI.

I picked up two different size never been cooked with Lodge 'pre-seasoned' cast iron skillets at a yard sale a few years back for $1 each. My one gripe with them is they have a awfully rough, grainy cooking surface. http://www.lodgemfg.com/use-and-care/frequently-asked-questions
Are Lodge products made in the USA?
All of our foundry Seasoned Cast Iron and our Seasoned Carbon Steel products are manufactured in the USA and always will be. All Enameled Cast Iron products are made in China to our strict quality standards and overseen by an American owned 3rd party inspection company. Our accessories come from multiple sources, some of which are American, and some overseas. Our in-house Quality Assurance Department constantly inspects all items we produce and sell.

Just got back from Costco, thanks for the heads up!

Your looking at 70 years of home cooking love that raised three generations. No need to go fugging with a good thing that works better than most anything you can buy new.

Best price I seen anywhere and it isnt even on sale yet. I bet they take it to $24.99 at some point. 2 10.5in skillets one deep fryer and one regular use as cover. [ Linked Image] [ Linked Image] [ Linked Image] Down to $24.95 at the local Costco.

You have to be careful with it or it will break. Not so with my antique Griswold cast iron cookware. You ever actually "break" a Lodge pan? If so please post a pic.. Or is that just some more of the crap you read and and then regurgitate on YouTube?

Might have to stop in a Williams Sonoma to check it out.
It is amazing how light my great grandmothers 1930's Griswold skillet is compared to Lodge's. Ill say one thing though you drop a lodge and it will dent or chip the floor. Drop the older CI and its just as likely to crack and break. Like to know what the finish is like on these. My problem with lodge is the pebbly finish out of the box. Darned tootin. LOL Haven't said that in years. I have a 12 SK that's nice and smooth.

Don't care for any of the new stuff. The finish looks and feels like sand paper.

I have a mess of family hand me down cast iron, and started collecting cast iron waffle irons about 15 years ago. I have seen Lodge sold in stores, and since I have never seen an old lodge cast iron anything assumed they were chineese and recent manufacture but it seems they have been casting cookware since around 1910. Anyone have a Lodge from the easrly days? All my good stuff, Griswold, etc have smooth internal surfaces, lodge seems to be more of an as-cast finish and rough.
On tomatoe acid affecting seasoning, from my experience I haven't seen this, and suspect a poor seasoned pan might be the reason? Good, old seasoned iron seems bulletproof from my experience. For about 50 years lodge didn’t put their name on anything. You can identify them by marks though. Called notches . They made one, two and three notch.. one notch being the oldest and sometimes has lodge written on it. There’s more to it than that but for the most part accurate. Here is my 3 notch, likely made in the 40’s..I’d prefer lodge sold them like that still. but understand why they don’t anymore. ![[Linked Image from i540.photobucket.com]](https://i540.photobucket.com/albums/gg342/steveberrett/4B8D3610-C34F-4541-BC5A-B202EFA26308_zpsi4kybyba.jpg)

You can sand or just start cooking.
