IMHO Lodge is fantastic. I've even gotten my wife convinced that if Lodge has a size of some sort of cast iron pan / dutch oven, that it's worth it to save the money and not buy Le Creuset. I only wish they had more of what I needed.
I.e. the 15.5 quart dutch oven. I got a smoking deal at the Le Creuset outlet (35% off the reduced outlet price), but it was still, uhh, NOT cheap.
This is the next one I'm eyeing: https://www.zwilling.com/us/staub-cast-iron-15.75-inch-double-handle-fry-pan-cherry-1314006/40501-044-0.html
Being enameled on the interior and being so large, it would be really useful...
Anyone know of a Lodge-ish alternative that's not so heavy on the wallet? (Note: I've looked and haven't seen one, so just throwing out a lifeline on a whim...)
