Lodge Elements SC90SET 8-Piece Cookware Set, Silver



Impressive Set
This 9-Piece Lodge cookware set consists of two sauce pans, a stock pot, two skillets, three lids and a "silicone hot handle holder."

Even as I was unpacking the box in which the set was shipped, I was impressed by the weight of the various pots. This gave me a hint of the quality construction of the set, an that impression was reinforced by a closer inspection of the three glass lids that are included. The lids are solidily constructed and each of them fits snugly into place, their weight ensuring a solid seal with the pot or pan they are designed to fit.

My wife and I first tried the larger of the sauce pans and the first thing we noticed was that the pan's weight seemed to be focused on its bottom.

Lodge Elements Cookware Set
Received this beautiful cookware set promptly and in pristine condition. These induction-ready cookware are easy to clean - rub with a little baking soda to keep them shiny and stainless.

It came from the manufacturer pre-seasoned, and had instructions to wash and oil it before first use, and to re-oil it after every wash. I followed directions (Im good at that) :) and cooked my first meal in my brand new cast iron. My food came out perfectly done, evenly cooked, and didn't stick at all (I expected the worst)!

Department stores charge too much for too little, and my own indecission didn't help the issue. When I found a set that had a cast iron skillet IN it, I knew I had found the right one!

I did contact Lodge to ask some questions first. All of their cast iron is produced here in the USA, however, the stainless steel is from China. It is also...
