The Official Lodge Cast Iron Foundry Tour - Extended Version 

Thank you all for making excellent cast iron cookware and keeping it MADE IN THE USA!

Greetings from Germany ! I spent a while in America for Business and purchased Several Pans from LODGE. AMAZING Stuff. Got recommended by a Woman at a Company I visited. She prepared a Steak for me in a Cast Iron Pan. Since then I enjoy cooking. I hated it before but now Steak, Eggs, actually ANY Food tastes better than ever. Forget all this Teflon, Ceramic and whatever Pans. THANKs to Lodge preparing my Food is not just for filling up my Stomach, NOW I enjoy it and learn more and more... :-) The Pans get better and better every timne I use them. Be proud of your Product !!!!

Just bought my first cast iron pan from Costco. May our almighty Jesus Christ Bless your company for centuries to come. Thank you for providing my family the cookware for their years of future health

Thank you for making an affordable and high quality product that is made in America.

Great video. Awesome to see a legendary company in the USA still going strong. Just bought my first Lodge pan at Walmart today. That's a proud 'Murican Saturday, brother.

My younger brother and amateur chef has been raving about his cast iron cookware for years. He uses his Dutch oven on our camping trips and we eat pretty damn well. I finally broke down and bought my first piece of cast iron cookware. I bought a Lodge 7-qt Dutch oven. I bought your product because of your reputation and the fact that your manufacturing is still in the USA. I'm adding a bit of seasoning to the factory seasoning right now and tomorrow I'm making a pot roast for my girlfriend. Thank you for making a fine product and keeping the business in the USA.

I have so many Lodge cast iron pans and pots I almost lost count. I love them all! A big thank you to all Lodge workers for the fine work they do.

You folks keep cooking the cast iron, and I'll keep cooking with it!!! USA! USA!!

Yesterday I went shopping for our first cast iron cookware. I found what I wanted and was not pleased that it was made in China. But further down the aisle on the other side was more cast iron. This was made in America, and it was made here in my state of Tennessee! I put the Chinese ware back and left the store with 2 pieces of Lodge cast ware ! I am so very glad that I found you!

Great video. My wife and I have at least 5 frying pans, 2 pizza pans, the fish pan and a few Dutch ovens. We love and use all of them

So cool to see how it’s made! We have several pieces that my wife and I use and just recently inherited a few from her Granny when she passed. Granny always loved cooking with cast iron and I’m thankful we can keep on cooking with hers, and one day hand them down to our kids.

All Hail Lodge, the King of Cast Iron!!!!!

Thank you to all the employees at Lodge🙏😊👏👏👍👍

That was a really good tour of your foundry. I own one of your frying pans and really enjoy using it!!! But I worked in a foundry in Michigan for 10 years at the quality lab and really loved it. It's too bad most of the foundries have left the United States. It's just nice to see that Lodge has remained in the United States and not relocated outside our borders. This is a industry that should definitely stay in our country. Thank You for not relocating!!!! And for producing great cookware!!!!

I was traveling on I-24 on Sunday 8-6-2017 and saw the signs along the highway about the Lodge Factory Store. I never knew the skillets and pots were made there. I had to stop to see what they had in the outlet store.I already own a Lodge Grill Pan and Dutch Oven. I love my Lodge products. While at the store, I bought a skillet and griddle. The sales people were best ever, they made me feel at home and helped me pick what I needed. I will be back next April for the Corn Bread Festival. I love the southern hospitality.

The voice of the narrator is a big cup of wonderfulness - so pleasant Authentic - Real - Perfect for Lodge Cast Iron

Thank you Lodge for keeping our people employed and for a great product. I own 2 skillets, 1 grill pan and 1 round griddle. I’m still shopping for more Lodge products 😊👍👍🇺🇸is so nice to buy American made👍👍

Thanks for this video and thanks for keeping Lodge Made in the USA!

Makes me proud to know my favorite cookware is made in the USA! Thanks for keeping America great and working!

Just bought my 1st Lodge Cast Iron set at Costco in Canada.I looked at the made in China product next for half the price next to the Lodge set and it didn't compare to the fine Made In USA skillet. Absolutely beautiful set for a great price!!

Feel proud that I own a skillet made this way...Hats off to you

I was about to buy a dutch oven from Walmart, but the comments in a forum said not to buy chinese products, but that Lodge made excellent cast iron cookware. I'm buying one. Thanks!

So neat to see how it's made. Couldn't help but notice that all the tradesmen in the video appear to be proud of their craft as well. It must be so nice to work for something you can still take pride in. That's something so many American jobs have lost these days.

Add another Thank you! to the long list. Lodge for life.

American Made!!!! I have been using these products for years now and they all hold up!!!!

Thanks for the peak inside. I'm very happy with all of my Lodge cookware. American craftsmanship at its finest! My favorite pan ever is your enameled Dutch oven, in beautiful blue. Thanks for all your hard work!

Love you Lodge. Thanks for making such great cast iron skillets. I have a few in my family that are twice my age and we still use them often. It's nice to see cast iron being popular again and I thank you guys for continuing the cast iron cooking revolution. I even see more variety in your products as well from the standard skillets, the chef collection (which is my personal favorite because of the handle and sloped sides), your griddles, blacklock versions, and so much more. Keep up the great work!

very informative and well done, great product made in the USA! Keep up the great work and keep it here

Such a great and educational video. I've started my Lodge cookware collection about a year ago, and I have so much respect for the craftsmen behind the brand. I baby my pieces and look forward to growing my collection.

I gifted my dad a lodge skillet for fathers day...he loves it. your cookware is great!

Thank you so much for the tour and for continuing to make the finest cast iron anywhere. We have many of your products ranging in age from new to generations old, and we use them all the time, even in our videos. We love them.

This brought me back to my foundry days. Makes me almost miss it 😁

My girlfriend bought a 5QT dutch oven a couple of days ago and made our first batch of OX Tail Stew in it. A special thanks to your whole crew for what they do. It is a beautiful piece of cookware that will get plenty of use.

Still Have one from my grandpa. He told me once he got the pan in the pan in the 30s.

First off: Thank you Lodge, you guys make excellent cookware that eventually I know my children will also enjoy. Second, why don't more companies follow your example?

I wish Lodge would make a smooth finish version, but it's great they are still kicking!

Respects to you lodge!!!! Being a tennessee native it feels good to know the foundry is still in TN and US made!!!! Bought my first lodge product recently and the lady loves it!!!! Food tastes better to!

Was just there. Fantastic facility and now a proud owner of a Lodge Griddle/Grill.

I have one of your products, excellent skillet, greetings from Malaysia!

Enjoyed the tour, nice to see our Acetarc ladles in operation.

Thank all the workers for the simple boring repetitive tasks so we just need to click a button then a beautiful life time skillet arrived at home . All the delicious magic starts from here... thank you 🌸🌸

Thank you for keeping them affordable

I love my lodge skillets and cookware! Thanks!

I worked there for a little while. This is a Great company! and such awesome people. they treat you like family. I just wish my body wouldn't of been so wore out! from working at a sawmill for almost 20 years. I wish I would of started work at lodge when I was a young man. lol.

I just bought for the first time my lodge cast iron skillet last week and I love it. All the other junk I have is getting tossed. The best cookware ever.

Love my Lodge and want more.

That was fascinating! So glad this foundry remains in the USA. May it always be so. :)

Best cookware ever I’m from Canada and would love to visit the store in USA

At 71 I bought my first cast iron skillet! A Lodge, and I love it! Made in America, my next purchase is an 8 inch skillet for eggs!

I love watching these kinds of videos. To see how the items we use are made.

I bought two Lodge cast iron skillets and the quality is great! Thank you for putting out such great products!! Lifetime customer

I'm obsessed with my Lodge cast iron skillet. I try to use it daily. It holds and distributes heat perfectly.

This was fascinating to watch, thank you!

my Lodge skillet is great. Too bad for Lodge that I probably won't need to buy a new one for 100 years.

I love my Lodge cast iron skillet and it's perfectly seasoned. Just got my red enamel 6qt dutch oven yesterday and I'm making pinto beans. I love Lodge !

Thanks for making a quality product. My family now owns 7 lodge pans of different sizes. We are looking to more in the future so keep up the good work.

I would like to thank all of the employees of lodge gor making an excellent quality product that is generation to generation product we love and enjoy This quality product Carries itself through history with many stories to tell In many families it is a cherished gift and honor to be entrusted with . Also thank you to lodge fsmily and office employees that take the time to treat its customers so kindly and helpful with information

Big thumbs up! This video makes me reminisce of my production-welding days....

I'm going to try to make it up to the store next week or the weekend after thanks for making such great cookware and look forward to buying some more. 🇺🇸🗽

The narrator voice is a big cup of wonderfulness She is authentic / real / perfect for Lodge Cast Iron Hooray

Thank you so much for what you do!

Cool! I work in a cast iron foundry in Canada. It's nice to see how other foundries go about their business. This was a fun watch.

Love these pans and the fact that these are made by American hands.

Love your products and I am proud to be able to pass them down .

Fantastic video. Great to see and understand

So far I am loving the cast iron cookware I have just gotten. I am also loving the seasoned steel pan I also just got.

So happy lodge brought back the Bundt cake pan. I bought one and I love it. Cakes come out perfect. Even gluten free. And I make other casseroles in it for a great looking presentation.

I'm restoring a decades old Griswold Cast Iron Skillet this weekend, along with seasoning a much younger and smaller Lodge skillet I use camping and at home. I've been all over your RU-vid channel today, and your social media game is on point! Thanks for this beautiful tour of the foundry and the casting process. Cheers to you and your team.

Great Video Tour! Love seeing why its always made me proud to buy and use cast iron that is MADE IN AMERICA

I have probably a dozen Lodge products, and am always looking for more. Your quality is fantastic. Once I got my wife to try them, she won't use anything else for many cooking tasks such as browning, searing steaks, and many other stovetop to oven techniques. Keep up the great work!

I LOVE my Lodge cast iron pans.

Awesome ❤❤Excellent tour.. American made 🎉🎉🎉 Thank you ❤

my mom just got one of your skillets and cooled number buyers on it for the first time and omg it made such a difference some of the best burgers I have had all thanks to you and your great product

Very interesting ! Thank you !

I love lodge cookware I have been buying a bunch of there pans to replace my old cheapy non stick cookware and i am so glad I did. It’s the best darn stuff to cook with. I only cook with cast iron now.

Incredible

I miss working at a gray iron foundry lol it looks cool to see one going

I was at my local WallyWorld store looking at buying a skillet for my wife. Side by side to the made in China stuff was the Lodge brand. It was a no brainer. Made in America, TENNESSEE UNITED STATES!!!

Very cool!

Very cool and informative video!

No Comment’s - Great 👍🏼 Job !!!!!

Love my lodge

Made in the good ol us of a! Hurray for lodge

Excellent video!

@ 7:22 Love that guitar.

amazing

I just bought a beginners' set, three skillets and a frying pan. Love it already! Went to the website today and ordered two lids and the high temperature handle holders (being the dumb kid I am , I burnt my hand last night).

Great products for sure. Thanks for sharing and keeping it MADE IN THE U. S. A.

we still have some old Lodge SK model skillets in great condition

Our new foundry tour video is live! Check it out below:

I'm buying one tomorrow

i have the expensive "Field", and a few others.... but the Lodge it's still my favorite

Love my lodge cast iron pans and sportsman's grill! I really appreciate their durability. Keep up the good work! Now can you put a handle on a small dutch oven so I can have a cast iron pot for soups/sauces? I'm tired of my aluminum/steel pots which only last a few years before their handles fall off.

I only buy Lodge for cast iron. I like to strip it bare and season it from there, the product is excellent and the material is top notch.

Looking forward to receive my first Lodge Cast Iron Skillet. I love to know it is made in the USA. Greetings from Bavaria/Germany
