Oh yeah, the first one I'm looking for ideas on would be a 6-8 quart pot with lid.

Screw the new stuff, go to a flea market and pick you up some old iron.

I have a 9 quart pot with a lid its big enought to feed 12-15 people check out crazycajuncookwear on the www

I have two Lodge pots: one is 4qt (perfect for 4 peeps) and a 9qt. The 4qt was my grandparents and is probably 30 years old.

i would check ebay for older cast iron griswold the inside will be slick as glass wagner also very good or the older lodge also very good the new lodge is called lodge logic the inside is coarse i would stay away from the new lodge and all of these brands were made in the usa lodge logic still is

Lodge! Made in the USA for over 100 years. I have two 12" skillets, one 10" one 8" (that some one was throwing out), dutch oven (with fry basket), square griddle, two burner griddle and muffin pan. All pre-seasoned Lodge. Just make sure never use soap on them--just hot water, dry them, heat them up and wipe with oil while still warm.

Screw the flea market. I can get brand new 12" skillets for $24. You'll spend more than that in gas driving to garage sales looking for what you want.

They did tests on cookware and the crap made in China had lead in it!

It cool, how they make the pots. They use sand molds.

The smoother the pans the less they stick. Don't buy the cheapest, by the smoothest. One fella mentioned about going to the flea market is a great idea. Just make sure your buying something older not the new stuff. If your gonna buy new Lodge is better than most. Anything you buy will last you a lifetime. The better finish it has the more you will like it!

Thanks for all the tips, keeping my eyes out for what i want now.

To tell you the truth, you only have one choice. lodge, at least American made. There's only one cast iron pot foundry left in the US. Yeah, you can buy an Emiril pot, but he got it from Lodge and simply put his name on it. There are others from France and they're enameled like Staub or Le Cruset, but they're proud of them.

Every Lodge I have ever owned ended up in the scrap pile out back. I own all Grizwold and Wagner stuff from the 30's and 40's. May be a little more money but 100X better castings and quality.

bodum makes a really heavy cast iron wok. It's about 20 lbs that works great. I've got about 10 pieces of cast iron. Seasoning them and keeping the carbonization on them is the key.

Once you break down and buy a Griswold or Wagner you will throw that new Lodge junk away. You cant season a poor quality cast enough to perform on par with a poor season on a good cast.

get on ebay and look for the old ones. They are always the best. Most of my stuff is hand me downs that are 20 to 50 years old. But that old shit was good stuff made to last. Nothing wrong with Magnalite stuff either. check into that.

I got a lodge set for Christmas, works great for what I do.
