Lodge Cast Iron 5-Piece Set, PFAS-Free Pre-Seasoned Kitchen Set

I have to say that this purchase turned out to be a really good one. I'd wanted a cast iron set for camping for years, but had always been put off by the price and care required to maintain cast iron. I eventually got over the latter, and with the price of this kit, who can say no? I've used this set for about a year now...we do a lot of camping and cooking every year, whether it's setting up a tent in the national forests or using forest service cabins all winter long in the relatively harsh Montana winters. This kit (or parts of it) have gone with on all those trips and has been good to us and our food every step of the way. We've done cobblers, chili, traditional American breakfasts, enchiladas...dozens and dozens of ethnic and traditional foods and enjoyed using this cast iron kit every time. Whether setting it up in on a campfire, using a cook stove or even wood fired cooking stoves, it's been a reliable companion to have along the way. About the only complaint so far is that they're heavy...duh...it's cast iron! I expect these to last for years and years to come, maybe even a lifetime...who knows? Overall, this kit is a much better value overall than the piece meal approach...but you do need to consider whether the contained items will work well for your purposes. We did accessorize our units with some of the other Lodge products. This certainly isn't a necessity, but some are nice to have. In particular, the silicone handles and lid lifter have been essential additional tools we added to the kit. Other than those, this kit's been pretty much complete and hasn't required any further augmentation. We did re-season the units after it was received and just again recently for the new season. This is definitely a benefit overall and we would recommend learning about the procedure as it's a necessary component to maintaining cast iron for the long term. If you're looking for a relatively inexpensive cast iron kit, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this kit in particular.

Bought this for my mom and she loves it ! Heavy but durable and easy to clean

Update: had this set for 5 years now. It has been used, abused, misused, neglected, resurrected, and loved. Each piece I have grown to love for its own reason. The price has gone up and it's even more of a great investment since. I love this set. Have gotten more pieces now that I know. Learn to use and care for it and you'll cherish it for the rest of your life. I know I'm gonna! Buy it and you wont regret it! This is the first cast iron cookware I've ever had. Never had any growing up and always just used the nonstick cookware my mom bought and replaced quite frequently. I am now in love with cast iron. I work in a metal shop so am particularly fond of metal in general but the beautiful, tough, sturdy and good non-stick properties of my lodge cast iron has made me realize it's the only way to go. I seasoned with bacon grease four times in the oven at 400 degrees for an hour and a half and made bacon and eggs no problem. No sticking, easy clean up, and just damn good looking cookware. I will only buy cast iron from lodge(because they're made right here in our great country) from now on, and I figure once I get all the pieces I want I'll never have to buy cookware again in my life. Very good investment in my mind. And it's not that hard to maintain so get used to it and it will just be second nature in no time. I highly recommend getting an oven mitt or in my case a good welding glove cuz the handles will get and stay hot for a while. In essence, this is the best and last cookware I'll ever get. Get you some!

These are just like the pans my grandparents had when I was young. They are solid and heavy. As long as you take care of them, they’ll last forever! No need to put in your dishwasher or in water in the sink. Just wipe them out, oil them all over and put in a hot over fire a few minutes while you clean up or eat.

I have been looking to add to my cast iron collection for a while & finally did when I saw this set on sale. I wanted to wait a while to write a review until I used them enough to give a fair review. I have more good to say than bad, but there has been a downside. Let me start by saying all the cast iron I already had was handing down from my great grandmother, grandmother, mother & rescued from garage sales & needed TLC. So my expectations about newer cast iron was a bit lower than the older cast iron. I read reviews on Lodge (mostly positive) & also did some research. When I saw this set on sale I bought it. It arrived nicely packaged, no chips ( I saw a couple of reviews saying there were chips) & already seasoned. I washed the pieces & seasoned them. I don't really see any difference in the cooking which is good. The quality & sizes are good. I'm a huge fan of the griddle. However, I do have an ongoing issue with the lid to the Dutch Oven. First, the underside spikes are a bit sharp & it's a challenge to clean in between them. The 1st time I used the Dutch oven it was for a roast that I cooked for about 6 hours. I didn't notice until the roast was done the underside of the lid was completely rusty. Really disappointing & rusty enough that I wasn't comfortable feeding the roast. I cleaned it really well and seasoned it but it happened when I experimented with water the second time as well. It was not nearly as bad as the first use but still not good. I have my grandmothers Dutch Oven so I just use that when I'm doing a long cook needing a lid. I use the Lodge Dutch Oven without the lid for baking. Overall, I have had no other rusting issues with any of the other pieces & would most likely purchase Lodge cast iron in the future.

The first set I got from Amazon had noticeable rust stains on it and damage. Bit I sent it back and got another set which was in great condition So I'm happy. This is actually a great set of cast iron cookware and it will last for ever if you just know how to properly take care of it. I had this same set before but it unfortunately ended up with rust stains due to being left outside by someone when it shouldn't have been. It's worth every penny of $100 considering it will last forever.

I used to be intimidated by cast iron pans.... I used non-stick for the most part then noticed that none of those pans last very long even if properly cared for. I was pretty diligent to use only plastic on them but inevitably they always got scratched somewhere down the line. It was also not recommended to put them at high temps and if I had a recipe that required both the stove-top and the oven I'd have to change out my pan- very annoying. Buy these and you'll never have to repurchase one again- even if it gets rust! I honestly use at least one of these items a day, for the most part. Very reliable and doesn't get rusty if you look up how to take care of it. I only use a paper towel to clean after use for the most part. For stubborn bits that stick and for fragrant dishes such as fish, stir-fries, etc.- I scrub out the pan using a nylon brush using hot water- NEVER soap! I then dry it, put the pan on the stove to make sure any excess water is removed and then re-season with oil before putting it away. The pan gets exceptionally hot so for the germiphobes out there that insist that soap is the only way to sufficiently clean pots and pans- cookware becomes sterile at 212ºF. Cast iron cookware reaches around 400ºF in 4 minutes on medium heat- more than sufficient. This process only takes a few minutes, often less time than scrubbing out nonstick or stainless cookware. You can also use coarse kosher salt and oil to get stuck on food removed from the pan with a paper towel. It really isn't as high maintenance as you'd think so don't be scared! To prevent food (i.e. eggs) from sticking in the first place- make sure to preheat your skillet for a few minutes to get it scorching hot, add a little bit of butter or oil, and then crack open your eggs. The only times I've had them stick is when I've been too impatient and skipped this step. The lid that comes from the pan fits on the dutch oven, skillet, and griddle and definitely comes in handy. I thought I would rarely use the griddle- but it turns out to be my most used pan in the kitchen and hardly ever gets put away. Easier to flip in this which is perfect for eggs, pancakes, grilled cheese, etc (I always put the lid on-top of the griddle to fully melt the cheese when making grilled cheese, yum!) I use these babies to make a wide array of foods such as baked goods, pizza, fajitas, fish, frittatas, and mostly everything. This set really changed how I cook and I am better for it!

Muito bom, a qualidade que é referencia de marca

EDIT: 09/16/16 - I have had this set for about 4 or 5 years now. Still mind blowingly amazing. Never going back to Teflon again!! I have fallen in love with cast iron set over the last year. I have owned this set for about 9 months now and I have nothing but amazing things to say about it. I even have friends who want to convert solely to cast iron for their cooking needs. I have used every piece of this set many times and like how I can use metal utensils on it and it's a breeze to season. Although I did do a very botched seasoning on all this whole set (the oil was too thick and I never wiped it because it was hot, and now it is uneven (visually, although it hasn't changed how well the set works) Some advice: -I warm the cast iron before I cook in it, rather in the oven if it's a baked item, or heat it on the stove when I prepare the dish - I always use when the cast iron is pipping hot - I have heard this helps with items not sticking. -WIPE AFTER SEASONING - don't do what I did. although they work great, visually they don't look as beautiful as the pre seasoned pan -take out leftover immediately, don't store anything inside - it'll make the iron rust. I learned that the hard way. -These are easy to clean, I bought a stiff brush and run some hot water inside for an easy clean, I don't use any soap. Well I'm'm not really a reviewer but though I'd'd review a product that I LOVE hopefully it'll help someone out to make this great purchase!

Excelente, al principio se me pegaba la comida un poco, pero despues de un mes de uso ya no se pega nada, funcionan de maravilla. Si piensas comprarlo ten en cuenta que tienes que hacer el curado inicial (yo lo hice en una parrila electrica, asi que puede hacerlo donde sea), despues usarlo tienes que secarlo y ponerle una capa fina de aceite, si cocinas con aceite de canola en los primeros dias de tu sarten mucho mejor, se nota la diferencia en como cura la sarten, último punto, son muy pesados, asi que si es para regalar piensa si la otra persona tiene la fuerza para usarlos

I bought this set a couple of weeks ago and I am throwing it in the garbage can. The whole thing is rusty and the black paint is coming off . The food I was trying to cook was stained from the paint. I’m afraid for my health.
