Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron 5 Piece Set review

Lodge's Seasoned Cast Iron 5 Piece Set is the lowest-priced set here at $99.90, down from $119.95, and the only one built entirely from cast iron. It includes 8-inch and 10 1/4-inch skillets, a 10 1/2-inch griddle and a 5-quart Dutch oven with lid. Lodge says the pieces come naturally seasoned and ready to use, and that its cast iron is made without PFAS. Cast iron holds heat well, which suits searing, cornbread and long braises, and the Dutch oven doubles as a bread baker. The set is not a full pots and pans replacement: there is no saucepan for rice or sauces, and cast iron is heavy and needs drying and oiling after washing. That is why it scores lowest on experience. Many cooks pair it with a smaller stainless or nonstick set. We compared documented features and published prices and did not run cooking tests.
