Lodge Cast Iron Griddle at Academy

[cueball21]

I have several CI skillets and what not. I noticed that my Academy has a 10" Lodge CI skillet for $15. I'm guessing this is made in China. For that price I don't think I can go wrong, but I thought I'd ask the experts here what they would do.

I've been watching dabay a CL for months without finding an old Griswold or Lodge CI griddle. That's why I'm looking at other options.

I have the Lodge Dutch Oven and I love it. As long as you rub them clean and oil them after using they are great.

16Adams told me Lodge is a pretty good brand. Maybe he will chime in here as well.

Also, this is in Stillwater, OK and probably too far of a drive for cookware but I thought I'd let you know anyway just in case.

As far as I know Lodge is USA made from USA products. Things can change quickly but that's the last I read. Lodge makes quality cookware. Buy it

Well that's good enough for me too. I'll be getting some Lodge cast iron soon. That link also helped me figure out the one CI Skillet I have now and what the coating is. I bet it's the enameled cast iron. I don't like it!

I was in Target the other day and noticed they had the Lodge 12" CI skillet at $20.39
Online they are listed at $19.99.

Thanks to everyone!!!!

I'm looking for a griddle, specifically, but that price at Target for a skillet is pretty tempting!!

 

[AClarke44]

Is this a good price for the griddle?

I don't know about the price but the comments are gold. At least the first 4-5 I read. Good info

Bob - Do you have a Marshalls near you? They are a good source of Lodge CI seconds.

I have a lot of Lodge CI. It's good stuff.
I have the 10" round griddle, use it a lot. Love it.
Also have the Pro Grid CI griddle. It's super!

I love my lodge items from the double sided griddle/grill to the Sportsman's Charcoal Grill.

Love Lodge! Bought all of mine from Academy since they ship out here and it's a win since it's shipping and tax free.

16 Adams covered it basically with the link. CI is made in the USA and enameled CI in China. With their reputation I'm not worried about the China made enameled CI dutch oven so I pulled the trigger on one from Academy and it was on clearance for less than $50.

Here's my collection so far that I bought roughly in the last, I wanna say 3 years?

12 and 15 pans

They get used :becky: Makes them better the more patina they build

12 deep camping DO (8QT)

Enameled DO that just arrived

I love grown up show and tell. Very cool collection.

Nice collection Sako!
I'm going to round up my cast iron and see what all I have. I inherited my mom's and gma's and have some of my own.
Thanks to all of you for the cast iron talk. Just the motivation I needed!

Me too!:thumb:

Love your Griswolds and Wagners IIRC? that you score. Sometimes I want to comment on them but damn work gets in the way. :becky: People check their Facebook, Twitter, Instagrams while I check BBQBrethren for updates but sometimes can't comment. About the only social media I do and I'm fairly a young dude. Love this place. Sorry didn't mean to take it off track.

Thanks Jeanie! Would love to see some of your stuff. Inherited stuff from mom's and gma's sounds awesome.

Bride found a couple more skillets. A Lodge raised grill griddle skillet. New with tags. I think what gets me is that it's really not "rare", but when you find a piece that fills a niche- it kind of gives you confidence and a smile to cook with. After being out in dusty wind for several hours Im trying to decide a shot of Jameson or a Clariten.
That was quick Jameson FTW

Thanks Sako! It's funny, I have several pieces but only use a few on a regular basis. Guess I should rotate them every once in awhile. :grin:
