Made in USA or China? Is the Lodge and Lodge Logic the same company? Are the pans made in China or USA?

Did anybody ever answer this one question - whether or not THIS set of pans is made in the US or China?

American companies don't necessarily WANT to go overseas. they are forced by high corporate taxation -even Europe has learned this is folly and has reduced their corporate taxes to below 20% whereby their in-country production and therefore employment has increased. It's almost as tho in the U.S. - it's by design to force overseas production. hmmmm wonder why?

the two Lodge are the same, they're one of the only companies still making cast iron in the United States.

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.

Lodge Logic is made by Lodge. It's not two companies. It's the same cast iron cookware Lodge has always made, except now it comes seasoned from the factory. When Lodge started pre-seasoning its cookware a few years ago, they changed the name to Lodge Logic.

I buy American almost exclusively when I have a choice, but some countries are known for the best quality of certain things. I do like and buy German tools. The problem with buying Chinese and other Pacific rim items, is that they are made there because it's cheaper than other areas in the world. Why? The workers are exploited. I can't support that in good conscience. And corporations here that have abandoned the USA and produce generally inferior items to boost their profits is repulsive to me also.

so we should buy from them and support the US & quit buying the cheap things from China that fall apart fast. Thanks for telling us where it was made--now I will buy it for sure.

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!

My instruction sheet included with the pans has "Made In Italy" on it. It seems various distributors are in the U.S.

The writing on the bottom of my pan, which I didn't even notice before getting a request from Amazon to respond to this inquiry, says it is DESIGNED in the US, and made in the PRC. I agree the ads are misleading. We've been using the pan for 1 1/2 years, now, and it still looks like new. Despite my liking to purchase US-made products, the difference in cost, and my inability to find a similar size pan with a SOLID SS RACK at the time, that I could afford, led me to purchase this pan. It is heavy duty, though not quite as heavy as some think: I just weighed mine, and it is an ounce under 11#, according to my digital scale. US-made would be better, but quality is very good, no matter where it was made.

All Lodge products are not made in USA. Most, if not all, of their porcelain coated Dutch ovens are made in China. I think the pre-seasoned cast iron is still made here, but I'm not sure. BTW: I hate this, but the Chinese made Lodge Dutch oven won the Cook's Illustrated test hands down. It beat Le Creuset easily, and I can believe it. I bought one of them at a local department store because it was cheap and I needed a pot (mine were in storage). I use the darned thing all the time! It CAME with a steel lid knob handle included, something we had to pay Le Creuset $20 apiece for!

The pan is stamped on the bottom "made in USA". You won't regret buying this pan.

Yes, Lodge is USA. Previous manufacturers, if you're lucky enough to find them in antique stores, flea markets, or rummage sales are Wagner, Erie, and Washington.

Lodge Cast Iron cookware products is the "only" cast iron cookware made in the US today. All others either come from China or Taiwan. Some of the accessories sold under the Lodge name are imported such as lid stands, camp tri-pods, silicon ovenmits, etc. etc.. I have been using "Lodge" products for more than 40 years and I can tell you will find "None" better. As a matter of fact I still have and use several pieces which I bought about 40 years ago. No I am I do not work for Lodge, but I did grow up in the backcountry of Montana and Idaho learning to cook with cast iron cookware and a "well made" Skillet or Dutch oven will out preform anything on the market today.

Unfortunately, their website says all of the stainless steel pans are made in China. The pots and pans aren't stamped with the country of origin. I wouldn't have known if you didn't ask. They do make regular carbon steel skillets in the USA.

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.

Lodge's plain cast iron is US-made. The enamel-coated Lodge products are Chinese.

If you are looking for a cookware that is "Made in USA" this product is not one of those. The company says it is made by its affiliates in Thailand, China, Italy to US standards.

I have no idea. It was my understanding that all All-Clad cookware is made in the USA.

Not sure where made probably China and we have not used the in the oven but I love cooking with them and they clean up really easily. I purchased a pan and then the whole set.

Mine has 'made in France' embossed inside the lid, so I assume that to be accurate. I didn't want a product made in China. Lodge is an American company but their enameled cast iron is made in China, and LeCruset made in France is very pricey. This Dutch oven is very well made and functions wonderfully as does most cast iron appliances, and is affordable.

The fact that EVERY major company outsources, I'd say components were made in Taiwan, painted in China, and assembled in the USA...the point being, regardless of outsourcing...it's the quality control that ultimately matters. And this product...didn't have quality anything really. The finish is nonstick, and the whole set can go from stove top to oven in a matter of seconds, but the second you burn ONE item on that finish...it makes it a stick finish as opposed to a nonstick finish.

The bottom of the pan says, "Engineered in USA", but where they are from after that, I do not know.
