Lodge Carbon Steel cookware is a great choice for those looking for a non-stick pan that is strong and durable. It is heavier than expected, but not as heavy as regular cast iron pans, and can be used in a variety of cooking styles. The seasoning kit by Lodge requires many seasonings, but it is preseasoned and can be used on a thought to be cooled enough. Customers are very pleased with their purchase and plan to replace their cast iron pans with these.
