Cast Iron Cookware

[Philbert]

Lodge enameled cookware is made in china, that's why I never bought one.

I think that they also have a ‘Made in the USA’ line of enameled cast iron.

Their website can be hard to navigate: sales focused, instead of being easy to find some product specifications.

I’ve seen some on store shelves, in sealed cartons: never seen / touched / used the actual item.

* Not all of their enameled cast iron is made in the USA. But, apparently, some is.*


“Lodge is proud to offer a new collection of enameled cast iron cookware made on US soil. Inspired by the very best in American design, this 6 Quart USA Enamel Dutch Oven is the perfect size for creating original recipes, from a weeknight roast to a sourdough loaf. Featuring stainless steel inlaid handles and hardware on an American-made, enameled cast iron vessel, this Dutch Oven is made to last for generations of original cooking.”

Wow, you must be REALLY good.
Credit card scores only go up to 850.

Ever notice they never take into account how much money you actually have? I have about 200 times as much as I do credit available, always pay on time and never carry a balance and mine seldom gets above 800.

I emailed Lodge's CS about that once, and what they told me was the CI is made in USA and then shipped to China for the enameling. Sounds a little expensive so I don't know if that's true.

WRT my 2 Qt Dutch oven, Cabela's is replacing it, as you expected, at no charge.

Credit scores are a scam. If someone falls on hard times and is late on payments for a longer period of time they can kiss any decent financing goodbye for years even if they pay everything off. But people with multiple defaults and repo's can somehow keep getting credit to buy new cars. And if you shop around for the best rates and multiple banks pull your credit they penalize you for that too.

On top of that the score you get from the credit monitoring companies isn't even you actual score!

If that’s true, it’s very misleading.

EDIT: I just called their customer service number. Here is what I was told:

Their ‘Essential’ enamel line is cast and enameled in China.

Their ‘USA Enamel’ is cast and enameled in the USA.
