Lodge is like a trustworthy friend who’s been around forever and can fry the perfect crispy egg without trouble. It also helps that the brand’s prices are quite affordable, with our favorite Lodge cast iron skillet perennially hovering at just $20.

Lodge 10.25-Inch Cast Iron Pre-Seasoned Skillet

Lodge Rectangular Cast Iron Griddle
For breakfast enthusiasts and panini aficionados, this writer-loved cast iron griddle delivers incredible searing power, and then some. Simply flip it to achieve impressive grill marks on burger patties and kebabs. Grab it for 41% off.
Lodge 5-Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Lodge makes our favorite budget enameled cast iron Dutch oven, so we trust its non-coated version would produce pulled pork or stewed beans that are just as flavorful. This $45 Dutch oven would also be a great addition to your camping cooking gear.
Lodge 5-Quart Cast Iron Double Dutch Oven
We tested this clever 2-in-1 Dutch oven as a bread oven and were mightily impressed. For a budget pick, it produces crusty loaves of bread with plenty of oven spring. The lid also doubles as a skillet for frying eggs or searing cauliflower.
Lodge 10.5-Inch Cast Iron Square Grill Pan
While our favorite Lodge Chef Collection grill pan is no longer available, this similar model from the brand offers the same cast iron build and durability. It also comes pre-seasoned and has a deep grilling surface to ensure crispy textures.
Lodge Dual Assist 12-Inch Cast Iron Skillet
While some cast iron is too heavy to move around, this editor-loved dual-handled skillet is plenty easy to lift and clean. It sears just like any other Lodge cast iron cookware, minus the wrist workout.
Lodge 10.5-Inch Cast Iron Round Griddle
This round $20 griddle is great for making flour tortillas, garlic naan, or crepes Suzette. The shorter sides allow you to flip crepes and tortillas smoothly—no tearing!
6.25-Inch Cast Iron Burger Press
While Lodge’s cast iron grill press aced our searing tests, we weren’t the biggest fans of the handle’s screw holes that attracted food and grease while cooking. However, this Lodge burger press is made from a single piece of cast iron, solving all our gunky woes from the other model. Plus, it’s only $15.
