Lodge Cast Iron earns emphatic reviews as a workhorse that cooks evenly, sears and browns beautifully, and seasons into a near‑nonstick surface, though its pieces are undeniably heavy and require care. Reviewers praise heat retention, durability, and versatile performance across skillets, Dutch ovens, and griddles, while noting the learning curve and maintenance demands inherent to cast iron.

  • I love my lodge cast iron. I use it all the time. It is great for burgers and steak. It gives the meat a nice flavor and is easy to keep clean and seasoned. It is the perfect size for everyday use. My favorite brand for cast iron.

  • The product is great (I have an enamel dutch oven) and the customer service is better. A lifetime guarantee that's easy to activate? Yes please! If I had to choose one pot/pan to use for everything, this would be it.

  • I have a skillet from this brand, and using it makes me never want to go back to any other type of cookware. Sure, the skillet is very heavy, but it will last forever and cooks food fast. I can use it not needing to worry about the safety of the material of what I'm cooking on.

  • I can’t imagine my kitchen without Lodge. If you take care of it, it’ll last you a lifetime. Even if you don’t, you can often bring it back to life. I bake bread and make chili in my Dutch oven, and my skillet is my everyday workhorse. Love that I’m not getting toxic PFAS from a nonstick frying pan. Cast iron is non stock! Life changing!

  • We have so much Lodge Cast Iron! It is a must for cooking in our house. Are pans are perfectly seasoned and nothing sticks. I recently added the baking sheet and I’m obsessed!

  • Lodge was my gateway into cast iron, and I've been an enthusiast ever since. Cast iron takes time to master, but Lodge has no shortage of great resources/content to help you learn. I make basically everything in my cast irons these days, but particularly love it for making breads/sweets - perfectly crispy on the outside. I won't make focaccia any other way 8-)

  • I love my cast iron from Lodge! It is great and simple! Also the price point is very manageable!

  • I think these are the gold standard of cast iron pans. Have had one for years, it's lasted remarkably well.

  • I have both an enameled cast iron dutch oven, and a regular cast iron skillet. Absolutely love them, they have taken serious beatings and are in great shape. They cook super well and conduct heat evenly. I've cooked and baked with Le Creuset pans and these are absolutely just as good, at a fraction of the price.

  • Classic and timeless. I've got several pans of varying sizes and hands down, these pans make potatoes crispy, my dutch babies rise so high and are my #1 most used pans. They retain the heat so you get the browning, the searing and even temperature cooking, all without any chemicals (aka nonstick pans). These you pass down to the next generation etc. They'll last longer than you if taken care of.

  • I have multiple lodge cast iron skillets and a Dutch oven, and I love them all! Amazing quality for the price

  • I would give all my Lodge cast iron pans 5+ stars if I could. Comes with a decent starter seasoning, and has seasoned perfectly over time. It is my favorite non-stick pan in my house. Don't you dare put it in the sink! It's perfect.

  • The only brand of cast iron that I will ever use. I have a skillet and a Dutch oven and they are both really thick quality tools that I use almost everyday in the kitchen. Would recommend their products to anyone looking for cast iron products.

  • I recently purchased my third Lodge Cast Iron Product (a skillet, dutch oven, and griddle) and enjoy how the Lodge products cook evenly, are easy to clean, and have a good price point., I've also purchased their Spices which are delicious and season food to perfection.

    Purchased at MSRP
  • I have gotten great use out of my Lodge cast iron skillet and Dutch oven. The care instructions are easy to follow, especially with the care kit that they offer. They are great quality and have held up perfectly through lots of recipes over the past year or two. The colors for Dutch ovens are beautiful as well.
