Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We love Lodge products. We own three pieces of Lodge cast iron pans that we bought over other brands specifically because of them being made in the USA. This was the first time we bought a Lodge piece online and we are so very disappointed. From the description on this listing: “Lodge Cast Iron operates two foundries on the banks of the Tennessee River in the small town of South Pittsburg, Tennessee; a town Lodge is proud to call home. The company is built on family values, American history, and high quality cookware. All Lodge seasoned cast iron and carbon steel cookware is proudly made in the USA, meaning you’ll get craftsmanship that has been passed down through generations.” This is so misleading because as you’re reading through the listing it *implies* that the cast iron Dutch oven is “proudly made in the USA.” But right on the box the pot is shipped in: “MADE IN CHINA.” How misleading of Lodge to tout their American roots directly under an item they’ve decided to have made in China. This is a deal-breaker for us. Secondly, as other reviewers have noted, the lagoon color isn’t even close to matching the color in the picture. The listing shows a beautiful, rich, green on every screen I’ve looked at but when it arrived it was a drab gray-blue color not remotely reminiscent of the color in the listing. What a waste of money that we thought we were spending on a true American company that sold out for their enameled products. I’d gladly have paid much more for something actually made in the USA.
