What is the difference between regular Lodge cast iron, and the "Pro Logic" Lodge cast iron? The descriptions seem about the same.

I think the main difference is that the pro logic is pre seasoned. I can tell you that we love our pro logic. We use it mainly to make artisan bread. It is a perfect size and the crust is always beautiful.

Its been awhile since i bought mine, but I remember that there were two that were very much alike. the only difference I could find is that one was a little more "tailored" with nicer lines on the handles and a nice scoop in the lid below the handle so your hand could fit into the handle better. A bit more refined, which is why I chose it. Look closely and you will see. Again, I am going by memory, and not by the model name.

I am not sure but I think there is a coating that resists rust without having to cover the iron in enamel. Regardless the fit and finish on these are great and I use mine to bake bread weekly and have fro a very long time. I still lightly coat with oil about once a month and generally just bake out the old bread at 425 for an hour before making new loaves. Have seen no rust and they have been flawless in their performance.

Lodge Manufacturing's small line of enamel-coated cookware is imported from China. All the rest of its cast-iron cookware branded Lodge or Lodge Logic is made (and quite well, I would add) in South Pittsburg, Tennessee, USA.

I'd like to know, too. Anyone who has bought one of these, can you tell us if the Lodge and/or Lodge proLogic are made in the USA? Thanks!

You might also consider carbon steel cookware. Lodge makes that also. More like professional cookware. Care for like cast but a lot lighter weight. Works great with induction burners. Safer for glass tops.

It may be a misprint on one or the other. I could not find anything about a max. temperature on the Lodge website so I "Googled" your question and found no answers for the cast iron versions. The enameled models do have a max temperature. You might email them directly and see what they have to say.

Size is main difference - Pro Y is much larger. Also the half-moon holding the peeler blades is metal on the Pro model.

The major difference is that the CTX can be used for induction cooking, whereas the pro would require a conductive plate below it. Both have great nonstick surfaces that last very well as long as they are cared for as the instructions say. I have found that the scanpan classic is better for browning (e.g., sausage) than either of these, so I have all versions.

The Lodge L8IC3 Cast Iron Lid, 10.25-inchLodge Logic (98). It's better than a glass lid.

The skillet was made in the U.S. I don't know the origin of the iron, which, of course, is pretty much fungible.In looking at possible purchases in stores, the Lodge products were thicker in section than the foreign-made (usually Chinese, of course) products. Higher quality, and they'll cook better than the thinner stuff.

I am assuming you're referring to the Lodge Sportsman charcoal Grill which is a terrific piece of equipment. I also have the Smoky Joe and use that a lot too. This is a difficult question to answer because they're pretty neck and neck when it comes to quality, ease-of-use, and final product. The Smoky Joe has a cover the Lodge Grill doesn't. How important is that to you? I like the cast-iron grate on the Lodge better than the chrome grate on the Weber but that's something you have to decide for yourself also. They both hold about the same number of burgers, hotdogs, etc. even though the lodge grill is a little larger. And because it's cast-iron it's going to be very heavy-a little over 30 pounds. The Lodge does an excellent job with steaks and hamburgers and actually now that I think about it does a better job than the Weber for those two because the cast iron heats up better than the Weber . The cast iron grill will last a lifetime if you take care of it. You can't do long slow cooking on the Lodge because it has no cover so you have to ask yourself what you do the most of-quick steaks, chops, burgers etc. or roasts and ribs. guess if the cover is not that important to you then I would definitely go with the Lodge grill even though it's more expensive. Weber and Lodge both make great products ...you can't go wrong with either one of them.

I love my iron. It is pricy and that is the reason I thought about if for so long. There is not much difference between the two and mine was a gift for Christmas. I didn't try the yellow one so I don't know the answer to your question but if you read the reviews they are much the same.

I am not too sure of the difference between this and cast iron. I did have to season it before using. But, it definitely has room to feed 2 people.

Yes it is made by LODGE, and they are an American Co. Love their Cast Iron. Joan L Anderson

I do not know the difference. I do know that I'm having a hard time keeping my carbon steel walk seasoned correctly. I have followed all the instructions but for some reason the coding of seasoning keeps flaking away and I'm forced to remove it all and start over. I have done it about four times now. I'm getting close to throwing in the towel and going down a different road.

I don't know the difference, but I love this pot. We use it for everything. Would make an excellent wedding gift to the couple that is just starting out. It is by far my favorite piece of cookware....

I believe the material of the grill surface is different-- aluminum vs. cast iron. I've been told that this makes a huge difference.

No, it is made in China, Lodge is an American company who does make all of it's cast iron pieces in the USA but the enamel on cast iron is made in China.
