lol, you don't do this tho right?

lodge is a cheap cast iron manufacturer.

yeah it's basically mandatory, I'm working on it now. I wish they would just ship a bare pan. my brother lives near the store and managed to get a factory second for his carbon steel pan but they don't often have seconds for them

>>11793499
all they need to do is wipe the fucking drips it's crazy they make the shit but don't even know how to properly season a pan

Unfinished Iron pieces can no longer be considered food-safe, so the FDA won't allow them to sell them. Blame the Government.

>>11793537
factory seconds are bare and you can buy them out of their store so obviously it's not illegal

Get a stargazer pan or grind down the lodge pan with a grinder. The corse sandpaper like surface of the lodge is horrible.

they're carbon steel pans not cast iron. I don't want a memegazer anyways

I got a 12in. for 13 bucks at a Ross's near me, that was pretty fucking worth but I agree that their stuff is shit in general.

I recently found a new (paper 'tag' thing still on it) Lodge grill plate at Goodwill for 15 bucks. I thought about skipping it, but they do retail for 30usd.
So I bought it. I made french toast and a hamburger on it so far. It's ok; I think its better than the pan, but I have yet to use it more to judge.

They should just coat them in beeswax like de Buyer does.

Of all the dumb things I'll read on /ck/ today, that's certainly one of them.

>>11793468
For me, it's birmingham stove and range

>>11793468
I just noticed there's a depression in the center of the pan where they stamped their logo.
