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).

My Lodge cast iron skillet and kettle came from my grandmother who has
passed away. I bought Le Creuset, because I was so pleased with the way
cast iron cooks. I picked it up, one piece at a time, at an outlet mall
in San Marcos where my youngest son was going to school. If I had known
about the cheaper brands, I would have tried them. I do not like to shop
and I had no idea that Walmart carried Lodge or Tramontina (have never
heard about it this brand). I am so out of it.
