Lodge Cast Iron began making cookware during the first presidential term of William McKinley. Amazingly, some of the first cast iron skillets, griddles and dutch ovens made over 100 years ago are still being put to good use. Today, Lodge Cast Iron remains a family-owned, family-operated business producing the most extensive selection of quality cast iron goods on the market. Lodge now offers an expanded line of cast-iron cookware for America’s kitchens-Dutch Ovens, the largest selection of Cast Iron Skillets on the market, Deep Fryers, Country Kettles and more. When cooking outdoors, Lodge Cast Iron goes too, with Camp Dutch Ovens, Griddles, Combo Cookers and Grills of unparalleled quality.
