Should I spend the extra money for Lodge cast iron or is chinkshit fine?
I don't know what goes into the seasoning oil for chinkshit.

Lodge is trash. Go to a Goodwill center and find a noname pan, clean it, then season. It's with be better quality,

I only have Lodge, it's good but I never even tried any other brand. Is there really a difference between a well seasoned Lodge and higher end brands or vintage stuff?

lodge is "ok" for new stuff but it's not great, if you can find a reasonably priced wagner or griswold you'll be a lot better off, shit lasts forever so it's worth it to spend the money and get something good

i have lodge but i sanded the inside smoothish and re-seasoned, it's pretty good but still heavier than an old pan, if i had it to do again i'd just go vintage from day 1

i don't let anything from china touch my food if i can help it

My lodge pan is older than all of you fuckers, but I agree, nothing from commie China. Otherwise, you are good to go

Just buy carbon steel instead. Smoother and less heavier.

Lodge isn't sanded (to keep the production cost low), so it isn't smooth at all; which makes it stickier than it should be.
Unfortunately I got fucked by Lodge, but now I have no reason to replace them. It improves over time, and you can use steel-brushes yourself, but this should be done at the factory.
Some anons I think simply let the new ones rust for some time, remove the rust with a steel-brush, and then only start using them.

there really is no real proof that lodges pebbly surface actually makes food stick
their factory season isn't great though

the quality of modern Lodge cookware is pretty bad, I dont think a cheaper chink cast iron skillet would be significantly worse. But I would completely strip all the factory seasoning and re-season it by myself
