Lodge,cast iron,we cook in it daily. So Yes,I DO love it too!

The stew looks great and cooked in the right cookware too!!! I use my cast iron a lot and I like their new carbon steel too. I have two of their steel skillets. Don

Cast iron is pretty much my go-to cookware.  I had my favorite 14" cast iron pan split apart many years ago.  Sounded like a gun shot in the kitchen.  It was the first pan I owned.  I bought it for $0.50 at a farm auction in PA around the time I was getting ready to get married.  It was well seasoned and I cooked many a meal in it. 

I have tried all different kinds of pans over the years.  I keep going back to my Lodge cast iron cookware.  Great looking food, Mike.

I had my favorite 14" cast iron pan split apart many years ago.

I had the same thing happen to my first cast iron skillet, split right in half while I was heating it up on a Camp Chef outdoor cooker.  It wasn't a Lodge though it was some cheap "Made in Korea" brand.  Since then I have bought Lodge and have had no issues with their products.

I have a ton of cast iron, but am really liking the enameled ones too. I have one La Creuset and it's my go to pan at 5 qts. I was $$$$y. but worth it. I even use griddles on my el cheapo gasser at the lake. Mostly I cook over open fire and have for over 30+ years..can't beat cast iron.  Pam    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

We have a Griswold,wagner,wagner/sidney,sidney,lodge,lots of lodge.Wagner Ware.

Ive bought some really bad looking cast and refinished,for the old quality sure worth the work.Actually most were rust monsters from thrift stores.

A couple of my favorite pans just say USA on em,they have really nicely finished cooking surfaces.

I still like the new Lodge even if finish has gone downhill,I dont get it....If they also offered a more finished surface and gave us a choice,that would be nice too.

Is there anything that a cast iron skillet not appropriate for cooking?  I have noticed that sometimes cooking a tomato based dish will pick up the "iron" taste. True or my 'magination?  Dee

We bought the Lodge griddle and the square griddle pan,the pan gets 10 times the use easily.

I think youre correct IMO.We use the stainless steel with tomato dishes.

looks real good, love a good stew.

Lodge ain't but about 50 min drive from the house + they hold a Cornbread festival there every year

Dee..that is the main reason that I went with the enameled cast iron..to stop the iron taste from the tomato based products...and it works great. Then it was just so useful for everything else, my stainless steel stuff doesn't get used much any more. A couple of pieces would do ya, but you know me..I can't just have 2 pieces..LOL.  Pam    .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.
