Lodge Lcc3 Pre-Seasoned Combo Cooker, Black, W 27.4 X H 10.2 X L 38.9 Cm, 3 Litre / 3.2 Quart, Cast Iron

I have bought this item after hearing a lot from a friend how cast iron makes a difference in preparing steaks. I was skeptical first, but after trying it for the first time it went very well I underheated the skillet first and didn't manage to get a nice looking steak, but it was tasty and I managed to make it medium-well since first time. Seasoned cookware requires special care compared to regular pots, but it wasn't difficult at all. Bottomline: the pots are good, totally worth it.

Love the item and the quality is amazing the only downside is it's heavy and not good for people with arthritis nonetheless I recommend this because every dishes being cooked in this turns out really delicious. I am happy with this purchase.

Heavy duty cast iron amazing for baking my bread

Loved my pan and look forward to using it for many years. The lid was much heavier than the base and you must take good care of it. It cannot be air dried or else it will rust. As per the instructions it is normal, just gave to wash it off and reseason it. Hope to get the whole set over a period of time though it is expensive.

Having used this skillet and lid twice, it made it easy to cook a Sri Lankan curry over charcoal while camping and was straight forward to clean (with water) and season (with canola oil) without the smell of curry lingering. I did season the skillet twice before using it to reduce the chance of good sticking.

Product is amazing, reduced one star for price.

It’s a beautiful combo set. It serves the daily meal purposes and my family simply love it. I wish I could have brought this many years ago to avoid preparing meals in non stick cookware. I would urge if someone wants to really enjoy a natural way of preparing food in cast iron then you have to have these cookwares. Now I am looking for 7 quart Dutch oven with a lid which can be used as another frying pan.

Durable products

De vi piace cucinare (o volete iniziare a farlo sul serio), vi consiglio di dare un’occhiata alla Lodge Combo Cottura. È una pentola in ghisa super solida, come tutto quello che fa Lodge, ma la cosa figa è che il coperchio è anche una padella/casseruola. Due in uno, zero sbatti. La uso per tutto: stufati, sughi, carne... ma il top è per il pane fatto in casa. Viene fuori con una crosta spettacolare, sembra quasi cotto in un forno professionale. Tiene il calore da paura e cuoce tutto in modo uniforme. In più dura praticamente per sempre, basta trattarla bene. Se cercate qualcosa di pratico, robusto e super versatile, questa è una bomba.

This is really the perfect starter set for anyone wanting to get in to cast iron cooking - or even if you already own some and want a 10" pan and a dutch oven/deep pan. You can fry in it, roast in it. It's also great for baking larger loaves of bread. This is such a versatile set. I've attached photos so you can see the size. The combo comes with the usual Lodge pre-seasoning. It's not the smoothest and I'd recommend you wash/scrub it to remove some of it and season the set yourself before first use. I can't say this enough - this is a great combo at a terrific price.

It's hard to believe that people bother with expensive non-stick cookware and stainless steel pots and pans when there are cheap and well made cast iron products like the Lodge Combo Cooker. Not only are they solid, they heat evenly, can go on any cooking surface (induction, ceramic, hotplate, gas, a camp fire) and their non-stick characteristics improve as they age provided they are used correctly. So...what is correct use you say? To me it is using sufficient cooking fat and no more heat than necessary - you can't replace cooking time with more heat, although it is tempting given the rat race many of us now live in. I suspect many have become dependant on non-stick cookware because of the modern worlds fear of fat. Cooking without enough healthy fat - whether that be olive oil, butter from a happy pasture fed cow, cold pressed coconut oil, goose fat - is a one way express lane to a flavourless meal that you have to scrape off the bottom of the pan. Not just a cast iron pan either, but every other type of cookware but those with non-stick coatings like teflon. Even then some of your food will stick. Because your meal lacks fat that carries flavour, you'll be more likely to over season it with large amounts of salty and sugary sauces. Anyway, back to the review before I start ranting about fat. The combo cooker is well made, versatile, and really cheap. You can even bake delicious bread in it: [...] [...] [...] It'll also encourage good cooking technique. You'll start to understand the integral relationship of fats in food for flavour and cooking, and gain a better appreciation of heat. Cast iron heats and cools slowly, cooking with it has taught me to think about what I want to achieve with the heat I am applying. If you are considering cast iron for cooking, this should be your first purchase. For all of you Americans, it is even American made. How brilliant is it that you can purchase such a good, cheap product made in your own country? I wish we had a cast iron cookware manufacturer here in Australia. This is not about the Chinese, it's about buying local and keeping money circulating in your own economy wherever possible. If you're in China, that means buying Chinese, if you're in the USA, buy US made, if you're in Australia...well I'd say buy Australian, but in this case, I'd be making my own or going without. Buy local people. It makes sense! If you want to read more about fats in food, I recommend the following books: Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, with Recipes Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health Nutrition and Physical Degeneration Also, I hear that Chad Robertson in Tartine Bread recommends the Lodge Combo Cooker for home baked no-knead bread. Looking at the results of others baking his Tartine Country Bread, this combination seems to work a treat.

Qualité irréprochable

今までテフロン加工のものを使っていましたが、 何度も買い換えるのが面倒になり、これが最終とロッジのNEWロジックコンボクッカーを購入しましたが、大正解でした♪ 火の通りはいいし、から揚げもカラッと揚がる！洗い物も洗剤を使わず、たわしでゴリゴリ洗っても全然平気！金属製のフライ返しなどでフライパンにキズがいくのを気にせず調理できます。 水がついていると錆びるので、きちんと洗って乾かすことが必要で、キッチンのフライパンもすぐにしまうようになりました♪ 面倒くさがりの私にはちょうどよかったです。 キャンプにも持っていけて、お家でもお外でも使えてうれしい＾＾キャンプで早くお肉やウィンナーを焼きたいです♪じゅ～っという音がまたいいんです。 ただ、重い。 女性だと片手で持ち上げるのは、なかなかこんなんで、持ち上げて洗おうとすると、手首からぷら～んとなります。
