Is Lodge /ck approved? If not, what cast iron do you like/prefer?

Go to the thrift store and get the oldest looking one/set you can find.

For 18 bucks who cares.
is 18 bucks expensive to you?

I recently bought a 10 inch Lodge skillet. It works pretty well, the season it came with was decent. I don’t regret buying at all.

I have a 10 inch Lodge skillet and a 6 quart enamel dutch oven. I've had both for several years and have not complaints.

I have a lodge 12 inch, no complaints

I've got a 12" lodge I bought in 2006 and its glass smooth now. I had trouble with it at first because I didn't know what the fuck I was doing, but now my fried eggs slide around like hockey pucks.

go to a flea market and find the ugliest, nastiest cast iron skillet you can find
throw it in a fire
after it cools, wash with soap and water
it will look brand new
season with lard. a very, very, very thin layer of lard
throw in oven on tree fiddy with cooking surface facing down
tree fiddy for one hour
kill the oven, leave skillet in oven. let it cool down slowly
wa la

Had one for about 5 years now. Best 18 bucks I've ever spent on a pan.
