Cons: Rusting could be a little problem

Pros: Great Cooking, Eggs Come Out Great
Cons: Heavy if Your Camping, Rusts If You Don't Dry Them

When I asked for this set of cookware for Christmas last year, I already knew that it would probably be the last set I would ever need. The exact manufacturer didn't make much difference. Cast Iron is Cast Iron but I did get Lodge 3 piece skillet set....

Pros: Little sticking, easy clean up, durable
Cons: May rust if not dried properly, heavy

My husband has often told me that I was born in the wrong era, as I enjoy canning, quilting and many other hobbies from long ago. Another item that supports his theory is my love for my cast iron cookware.

Now before I start getting emails,...

I just stumbled across a few opinions written about the Lodge 3 piece Skillet set and had to stick my 2 cents in.

To begin with, cast iron is not for everything and not for everybody in this day and age. There are ranges and ovens...

Pros: Heat evenly so save on oil (fat) and gas (cost). Easy to use and easy to make really great tasting food in. Non-stick surface that can be scraped if necessary and won't come off like teflon.
Cons: Entire thing gets hot; storing with other pans impossible because it's always oiled up;

Introduction
Ever since I bought the Lodge Iron skillet I have wanted to write an epinion about it. But I didn't know how to approach this task. What can a punk like me tell the world about a product that is usually associated with old...

Pros: Last Forever, Inexpensive, Durable, Tast Better
Cons: NONE

I know most people are cooking these days on fancy teflon, non-stick pans that will last they a couple of years at best... but me, call-me old fashioned, but I prefer Lodge Cast Iron Skillets. No home or kitchen is complete without at least one cast iron...

Pros: Durability, CAN use in oven!
Cons: absolutely none.

I truly hope that those who hate cast iron pans for one reason or another will read this....and those who say they always rust, or are only for frying....lend an ear.

Hate to come flat out and say it but....WRONG!!!

Cons: Require special care (seasoning) and they are heavy.

When I was a little girl, my mom had these cast iron skillets that she'd use more than she used any other cookware. They were heavy, and durable, and I wanted some. So, finally, when I grew up and had my first house, I bought a set of three, the same set...

Cons: Handles get equally hot, rust without conditioning

Okay, I admit it: I "inherited" this set from my room's last occupant (God bless you, wherever you are). Yes, all three pieces. My roommate and I played a hectic game of Scrabble for them, and boy am I glad I won. My first experience with this real (real...

Pros: Lasts a lifetime and convenient
Cons: Can get easily stained

I grew up in a family where the women learn how to cook at an early age. Getting familiar with cooking ware comes as part of the package. If then I did not like to rinse dishes or clean them, I sure loved getting them dirty. Almost every week-end, I...
