I never even heard of Lodge til I received the pot from my mom last year. I
couldn't care less about brand names or how much something costs. Definitely
*not* a label person. LOL. (My mom also gave me a nice set of Cuisinart pots
and pans last Christmas, but prior to that, almost all of my cookware was
no-name stuff.) If it works well, that's good enough for me (and I've been
very pleased with my Lodge pot).
