Is Lodge the Best Cast Iron Skillet? My Honest Review After 5+ Years

In this review, I reveal the truth about Lodge cast iron skillets after using them for over five years and cooking hundreds of meals. You'll learn the pros and cons of Lodge and the differences between the brand's two most popular collections. Throughout this review, I show you how Lodge compares to two competitors: Calphalon, which makes a similar cast iron skillet at around the same price, and Stargazer, a much more expensive cast iron skillet made in small batches.
