I have a lodge enameled casserole that promptly chipped twice in the same week, so yes yes yes the le creuset is totally worth the outlay and is such a bright spot in the kitchen, where so much time is spent. Happy anniversary, you two...you're such a wonderful couple and family :)Robbynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01860870861321231048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-85499668698992807442010-03-18T10:59:12.517-05:002010-03-18T10:59:12.517-05:00Tabitha wrote on her web-site

It does save money in the long run.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-51147246278416629062010-03-17T10:40:16.169-05:002010-03-17T10:40:16.169-05:00You all are right, Karl knows the way to my heart!...You all are right, Karl knows the way to my heart! I am so excited to use the pan for the first time today. <br /><br />Direct from Lodge's website:<br /><br />"Made to our exact specifications in China, Lodge Enamel Cast Iron is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The cast iron piece is hand prepared before several layers of porcelain enamel are applied and baked in high temperature ovens."<br /><br />I have nothing against China. Well, maybe a little. Well, a lot. Well, it's nothing personal. I just don't like poisoning my family. <br /><br />It is actually the enamel too that could contain lead, but since it obviously and quickly began to wear off into our food, we stopped using the pan. I loved my green pan, and treated it like royalty, but still it fell apart. I called Lodge today and they are having me send pictures. <br /><br />Sadly, when we bought the Lodge pan we did not read the reviews on Amazon. Our situation is common. <br /><br />I love my Lodge cast iron skillet sand griddle. But they are seasoned and I do not cook liquids in them. Also, they are USA made. Also direct from Lodge:<br /><br />"Are Lodge products made in the USA?<br />All of our foundry seasoned cast iron products, including the Signature Series, are manufactured in the USA. Our Lodge Enamel items are imported from China."<br /><br />It is our own fault. I even had friends warn me of this when we bought the green one, but I did not think the Le Creuset were even on our radar because of cost. Having an enameled cast iron oven changed my life, though, so after the Lodge version died I knew I needed one badly, but resigned myself to living without one. No Longer!<br /><br />Thank you love. <br /><br />Tabithatabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17088836007624150734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-11230402580681203492010-03-17T10:12:59.952-05:002010-03-17T10:12:59.952-05:00The Lodge cast iron is made right here in Tennesse...The Lodge cast iron is made right here in Tennessee. As I recall (from emailing them a few years ago), the cast iron base is made here in TN and the coating is applied in China. Of course, that can change. <br /><br />I'm coveting the new Le Creuset!

After six years of use, the interior still looks like when we bought it and the only difference that I can see is that the white label on the outside has just about been scrubbed off with all the washings. I fully expect that my daughter will someday be using it but most certainly she will have to wait until it is pried from my cold dead hands. May you and Tabitha cook many a fine meal in it!Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-5325695477153734982010-03-17T07:09:33.183-05:002010-03-17T07:09:33.183-05:00jimmycrackedcorn,

I have several Lodge cast iron pans (non-enameled) that I have been using for 10 years now, literally daily. Do you have any real reason to believe that Lodge cast iron has lead in it?<br /><br />http://www.lodgemfg.com/lodge-history.aspjimmycrackedcornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574882717162001228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11419676.post-78023023560745152612010-03-16T20:25:07.391-05:002010-03-16T20:25:07.391-05:00Everyone earns a small fortune, over a lifetime.
