Lodge has been pouring cast iron in South Pittsburg, Tennessee since 1896, and still runs two foundries there. In the company’s own words, its iron cookware is “all melted, poured, molded, finished and packaged right here in South Pittsburg, Tennessee.”
Each piece is sand cast, cleaned, then seasoned with vegetable oil and baked at a temperature well above a household oven, which leaves a ready-to-use, easy-release surface that improves the more you cook on it. Cast iron holds heat long after the burner changes, so it sears and browns evenly and moves from stove to oven to grill to campfire.
