From big soup pots to skillets…Lodge makes up the bulk of it.

Cast iron actually can save energy while cooking. We had to switch from gas stove to electric, on an electric stovetop it stay hot for quite a while…so does the cast iron by turning down the power setting on the burner or at times even off the residual heat continues to cook.
Yeah, it’s heavy and I’m getting older but you’re never going to get me to give up my cast iron.
