Lodge cast iron cookware, is it worth the hefty price?

[KevinCH]

Lodge is the only cast cookware left made in the US, I believe, and it is good. Foreign made cookware doesn't have the purity standards of Lodge.
Cheaper cast iron with impurities will not heat evenly.
I think Lodge is sold in Wal Mart, now.

All Clad is made in the USA - a former coworker is the plant manager. Manufactured in Canonsburg, PA. Really good stuff, but expensive.

I love my cast iron. I use it 90% or more of the time. I do have a Teflon and a SS skillet for certain things though.

Id had had it and the teflon is gone and gave it to a neighbor yesterday. Ill keep the other since part of a set.
