Customer Review: Same cast iron skillet, just $5 more expensive
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking to get a smaller cast iron skillet to use when I was only cooking for one instead of the entire family. I saw this and thought I was going to receive a fairly interesting piece. The quality of Lodge, spiced up to meet the needs of Amazon's own celebrity chef. And for $5 more, why not pay the premium to get it? Well, let me tell you why. What I actually received was the exact same pan I could have bought at Walmart* or Academy or frankly, just about anywhere else. I got the standard Lodge Logic L8SK3, label and all, a great piece of cast iron to be sure, but nothing special, and certainly not a different skillet made exclusively for the Tom Douglas cookware line.
I'm going to keep it, use it, and frankly, I'm sure I will cherish it, as Lodge products aren't just only made right here in the good ole US of A, but they're the best you can buy (not counting the enameled products that aren't actually made by Lodge, yet still given the Lodge name . . . but I digress). It's not worth the hassle to send it back over five dollars, but it is worth it to take the time to tell those of you that read this to just pick up Amazon item number B00006JSUA and save yourself the five bucks.
The skillet gets five stars for being a great piece. This Amazon listing gets one star for being completely disingenuous.
