All About Lodge Manufacturing Company

Posted by Rachel Schwartz on 9/3/2020 to Product Spotlight

Since 1896, Lodge Manufacturing Company has been producing quality cast iron cookware. A family-owned and operated business, Lodge offers the largest selection of cast iron skillets on the market as well as an extensive list of other products. With two foundries still located in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, this manufacturer is not only based in the States but also works to be eco-conscious by creating recycling programs in its local community and investing in foundry equipment that reduces pollution and minimizes the amount of electricity used to create their products.

Lodge's most well known category of products is their seasoned cast iron cookware. In fact, some of the first cast iron pieces are still in use today, over 100 years later. Cast iron cookware is sturdy, long-lasting and a staple to have in the kitchen. Lodge's cast iron range includes skillets, Dutch ovens, lids, and cornstick pans, all of which leave the foundry pre-seasoned so that they are ready for use upon arrival.

Although Lodge may be most well known for their cast iron skillets, they also make sizzleware and enamel cookware. Named sizzleware for their ability to have food make that hot sizzling sound, items in this category are also made of cast iron but offer a broader range of food possibilities. Grill pans, griddles, and fajita sets mostly make up this category of products and allow for creating the best breakfast foods and fajitas, all accompanied by that satisfying sizzling sound.

Used by both professional chefs and home chefs, Lodge's enamel cookware is a great option for those who want a quality dish and a fun splash of color. With color names including Caribbean Blue, Spice Red, and Island Spice, these enamel-coated cast iron Dutch ovens and casserole dishes are as versatile as they are pretty. With the ability to prepare food on the stove, pop into the oven, and then serve at the dinner table without having to switch cookware makes the enamel line a must-have for the kitchen.
