Lodge Logic

Written by Mark Jala

Lodge Logic pre-pre-seasoned cast iron cookware is available in skillets and covers, grill pans, griddles, fryers, Dutch ovens, bakeware, sets & kits, specialty items, camp Dutch ovens, and accessories. The griddles alone come in five different types including a round griddle, square griddle and several reversible griddles. The bakeware comes in 9 different shapes. There are drop biscuit pans, muffin pans, and cornstick pans among other styles. In the world of cast iron cookware, the seasoning process used to occur naturally. The first meals of soups, stews, grilled steaks, and more created a black patina on the cookware which made the cast iron “seasoned” and truly working at its finest. In 2002, Lodge developed a pre-seasoning system in which they achieve the same effect by spraying vegetable oil onto the cookware before cooking it in a high temperature gas oven. The result is that you can now buy their products with a pre-seasoned, ready-to-use, heirloom quality taste of the black patina that cooks used to have to wait countless meals to achieve.

Lodge seasoned cast iron comes with a lifetime warranty.

Lodge Cast Iron was founded by Joseph Lodge in 1896. The family business operates out of the small, 3,300 person strong Appalachian community of South Pittsburg, Tennessee . Lodge Cast Iron produces the most extensive selection of high quality cast iron goods on the market. Prices are affordable, and their products are so durable that many of their skillets, Dutch ovens and other cast iron goods made over 100 years ago are still in use today.

Lodge Logic has both a high quantity and enthusiastically high ratings with reviewers at Amazon. This high volume group gives the product line 4 to 5 stars. A happy reviewer raves about the affordability and quality of the classic pre-seasoned skillet, “I was always of the opinion that quality cookware carried a price that was justified by the performance of the cookware. So I thought if I wanted cast iron I should look at LeCreuset... wrong! Lodge blew that theory out the window! I can't express how well this simple pan works. Let it get hot and it will hold the temp like nothing else, oven to cooktop.”

Of the square griddle one reviewer says, “The square pan provides plenty of room to fry up a few burgers and the hot juices in the bottom are made-to-order for sautéing a few mushrooms, onions, or peppers to go on top. Cleans nicely by boiling a little water in the pan and giving it a quick scrub.”
