Yet out of this tiny community comes the finest cast iron cookware in the world. Lodge Manufacturing began making cast iron products during the first
	Presidential term of William McKinley. Amazingly,some of the first cast iron frying pans,tea kettles and Dutch ovens made over 100 years ago are still in use. Today, Lodge Manufacturing is still a family owned, family operated business producing the most extensive selection of quality cast iron goods on the market. Lodge now offers an expanded line of cast iron cookware
	for America's kitchens - Dutch ovens, chicken fryers, a variety of skillets, deep fryers, country kettles and more. When cooking moves to the great outdoors, Lodge cast iron goes too, with griddles, fish fryers, combo cookers and camp ovens unparalled in quality.
		When Joseph Lodge making cast iron in the early 1800's he began a legacy that would create the foundation to an enduring standard of quality carried forward for four generations of family management. The resulting privately held metal formula, precision molds, and exacting wall thickness are the result of years of dedication to improving quality that began with the first skillet from the first sand mold.
	Not even the most expensive stainless or aluminum cookware can rival the even heating, heat retention, durability, and value of Lodge Cast Iron. Its legendary cooking performance keeps it on the list of kitchen essentials for great chefs and home cooks alike.
	For more than 100 years Lodge has been making cast iron cookware. And, much of the cookware made many generations ago is still in the kitchens of fourth generation cooks. It's why we say that when you choose Lodge Cast Iron Cookware, you've just made a friend that will
	last more than a lifetime. The Lodge family appreciates your patronage and hopes that if this is your first piece of Lodge cast iron, it will be the first of many. America's Original Cookware SINCE 1896
