This is a great product. After doing my research and balancing it with my budget and what I thought would bring me the most value I decided to forgo the more expensive staub/le creuset options and go with Lodge. Affordable but not cheap, good variety in sizes and colors, and most importantly good reviews. I am here to add another favorable review to the pile.
Yes, it IS made in China. Don't let that deter you. 90% of products are made there. The phone I'm writing this review on and the phone you're reading it off of are both made in China. It is NOT a cheap product, nor does it feel like it's made in someone's shady warehouse with God knows what coatings. It is extremely good quality, the craftsmanship and their attention to detail, as well as quality control, are evident in every square inch.
It heats up fairly quickly, the heat distribution is nice and even, nothing, and I mean NOTHING sticks to it (of course if you let your food sit there for too long on high heat it probably will, but then again it would stick to anything), it's not overly heavy, just a joy to cook in. I am over the moon about this product and I already have added 2 to 3 more sizes to my wishlist.
Forget about faux luxury and expensive products for the sake of the brand name. Save your money. Get a Lodge. You will NOT regret it. I fully expect this product to last me decades and I really look forward to every meal I will be cooking out of it.
