Cast Iron Cookware in India: A Timeless Tradition for Culinary Excellence

★★★★★ Good and useful. Good and sturdy design. Very useful product for kitchen

★★★★☆ Good product. Easy to use. I've rated it 4 star as the product is good and it's very easy to use. You don't have to stand holding it over the burner while preparing something in it. Looks durable and sturdy.I would have rated it 5 star if it was compatible with induction cook-top.

★★★★★ Quality Product. Very comfortable to use

★★★★★ Good product for every kitchen. Prestige Aluminium Hard Anodised Tadka Pan is a good product. It is stylish, sturdy, and handy. You can easily use it for tadka.

★★★★★ Just awesome. Awesome.

★★★☆☆ Too small. 10 cm one might not be useful. It is too small for the purpose. You can't place on the gas because it will be in tilting angle inclined to the handle. May be useful for boiling one egg.

★★★★☆ Good product. Very good for tadka.

★★★★★ sturdy and good. well suitable to my kitchen

★★★☆☆ Product met my expectations, however the delivery date was too long and hence this rating.

★★☆☆☆ Arrived scratched. this coating will not last. Tiny!!! Too tiny

★☆☆☆☆ Washed in dishwasher once and a blackish powder coating keeps shedding ever since. Unusable!

★★★★★ Perfect for a family of four. I wanted a solid no-nonsense wok. I love cooking and this was the perfect wok for my needs. It has just the right thickness, right size, right weight and sturdiness. I am writing this review after more than 18 months of regular use.1. You have to season it before first cooking (it is NOT pre-seasoned as claimed). You have to heat it on full flame, cool it down a bit and then rub in some cooking oil with piece of cloth/tissue to allow that oil to go up in smoke. Repeat it twice more. Now your wok is seasoned.2. After you finish cooking, wash it clean (need not scrub the blackened surface to metallic shine, no). Then wipe it dry and wipe it with just a few drops of oil to prevent rusting.3. If you see specs of rust, don't panic! It is iron, after all. Wash it clean and smear a drop of oil.I am now looking out for another one, this time slightly bigger.

★★★★☆ Good cookware and sturdy but. Good cookware and sturdy but price is on the higher side compared to off the shelf in the market

★☆☆☆☆ Ohhh this is the POS of all products of this category. God damn worthless piece of metal I had ever bought. It is really a waste of money. The metal has been painted with some low-quality paint of some sort, and it chips off in very miniscule particles into the food. And oooo the food color changed because of the metal getting oxidised. This was even after very well-seasoned usage. The product is really garbage. Nothing is right with this company. This is the second time I have been made fool of its quality assurance.

★★★★★ Great quality. Worth it.

★★★☆☆ Not good quality. In the very first use it has started rusting inside area of the work. It's very heavy but I'm sure this is not pure cast iron. The rust is not going after doing all the jugaads

★★★★★ Pure iron best quality. Best quality and handle was very good

★★★★☆ Good product. Would have appreciated side holders

★★★★★ Easy to handle. Light weight so easy for tossing and mixing veggies and rice.

★★★★★ Quality product. Very nice. But be cautious, it's heavy.

★★★★☆ It is good but heavy in weight. I it's size and material, I don't like the weight. It is not practical.

★☆☆☆☆ Doubtful quality of material. - I do understand cast iron cookware is heavy. However, this product seems unusually heavier than other brands of cookware of same size and capacity.- The finishing is terrible. The surface is too rough to handle. The color is uneven, and shades of green-ish color all over. It feels greasy even after several cycles of washing/cleaning.- Could not return/exchange as the exchange window was closed.- After seasoning three times, every time I cook the food has a weird odor. The odor makes me think the material is not pure iron.- I have not used it after trying to use 3-4 times. I am frustrated that it occupies so much space in my small kitchen, is it unusable, and an utter waste of money.- I had bought this and a tawa of the same brand. Unhappy with the tawa as well. Not using both items.- I was 'penny wise and pound foolish' in this case.

★★★☆☆ Very heavy but not smooth finishing. The iron kadai is so strong. But it is not pre seasoned. When we wash and apply oil, we can see the rustiness. When we use the food items will turn to brown. Hope this issue will sort after several use.

★★★★★ Super. Its very useful, it brings health n tasty

★★★★★ Good product. Best kadai

★★★★☆ Good product. The media could not be loaded.  Product is good, heavy little bit, one handle is not smooth texture but i think it's not big issue, let's see what's happen after use

★★★★★ Genuine Quality Longlasting Heavy Cast Iron Kadhai. Good quality legit cast iron. Surface inside is rugged or rough which may be good or bad depending upon your need. I didn't find that to be a problem. It comes with a coating not sure of what so I cleaned it up.. Did some seasoning myself and it was ready to go.Most importantly it is genuine cast iron which is really good for your Health. RBCs love and and they'll reward you with boosted healing power over time. And it's weight tells you that it's gonna last for a lifetime.Finally don't be turned down by the small effort of seasoning that's required for every cast iron utensil and yes go for it!The cookware we use is another secret to good health 😉

★★★★★ Combination of style and reliability. If you want the buying satisfaction,go for it.I have used it to make cake, roast chiken and kacchi biryani.Ideal for slow cooking and quality is far ahead of local brands.Once you buy,you will love it.

★★★★★ The King of cookware. I have recently become "addicted" to cast iron cookware, and Lodge just about make the best. I used this large pan today to make some "Kentucky Fried Chicken", and my verdict: 100%, absolutely magnificent. The reason appears to be that this (very) heavy cast iron pan "holds" a lot of heat, so that the oil (or water) does not cool down too much when you add the things to be fried/boiled; the food therefore gets sealed quickly, and cooks at an even and proper temperature. It may take a while to claw back your initial expenditure, but you'll benefit by having tastier and more succulent meals. A word of warning: all cast iron cookware should be "seasoned" before initial use by heating some cooking oil in them (read the instructions); after that, do not wash with detergents (they destroy the ingrained seasoning film) - simply use warm water and a scrubbing brush. Also, do not leave for long periods with water in them - they can rust! (If they do rust, it is quite easy to scrub and re-season them again; actually, they should last more than a life-time).

★★★★★ Lodge duch oven 5 quarts with 4.7 litre. I bought this duch oven during offer for 5300 time after discount on my credit card . Before this I have 10.25 inch lodge deep skillet. This duch oven lid fit to that skillet also. Now technically I have two duch ovens. Very good product to cooking meat. Before this duch oven I used pressure cooker to cook mutton curry. Heavy lid is very helpful to cook meat . Slow cooking in duch oven makes the curry testefull.capacity of this duch oven is 4.7 litre.

★★★★★ Excellent. Expensive, but good quality! It is little tricky to guess whether it fits into the oven or not if you have an OTG. Large and heavy, bearly fits into my 36lts oven and rack bends due to weight. But it works very well for baking sourdough bread.

★★★★★ Very happy with the product. The media could not be loaded.  Very good product, though a little but on expensive side since importing from US. The product is genuine. I re-seasoned it after getting it as i could see few small patches of rust on the area where lid and body meet. It is normal since not been used after manufacturing.I grilled a whole chicken on it on the same day I got it and it came out beautiful as expected

★★★★☆ Got a crack on the lid of the dutch oven. I have got many Lodge pieces from skillets to enameled pans. Always knew this item would also be great. Unfortunately, I am working abroad and had ordered this piece at the home address. It was delivered quite some time before my holidays. When on holidays I was the first to open it and then to my real regret there was a crack on the lid. By then the time for return and replace was well over. I am not sure whether something can be done about it. The oven is in good condition, it’s the lid that’s got a crack on it, like it fell somewhere during transportation.Having said that, any Lodge cast iron piece is an asset even for posterity.

★★★★★ Great Product and will buy more from the Lodge range. Excellent Product from the Lodge range. My entire Kitchen cooking needs are met by a couple of Lodge pots and skillets. This 5 Qt is excellent for cooking for about 4 to 5 people. The flavour is really enhanced due to iron in the cooking. Would recommend this over non stick and Aluminium based wares(just throw them out). Health benefits can be seen as your hair grows stronger and Blacker. Cookings just got so thrilling thanks to Lodge

★★★★★ Best Buy. Picked this up as a wedding gift for a family friend. Made a set of 4 which covers breakfast,lunch and dinner . Not new to Lodge Castiron cookware and have a decent collection. Built to last a lifetime if some basic instructions are followed.

★★★★★ I like that this Lodge Dutch Oven is pre-seasoned. (Though I season all my cast iron regularly) In my experience so far, works very well for bread baking. The lid works well with another cast iron pan I use for cooking so that’s a bonus! Good quality and price. So glad I found it on Amazon, very convenient purchase.

★★★★★ I like the sturdiness of this Dutch Oven amazing

★★★★★ Terrific. Couldn’t be happier.High qualityI re-seasoned even though I comes pre-done.Large and heavy enough it doesn’t move around when stirring aggressively.Do you enjoy onion soup? This is your best friend.

★★★★★ Great quality and great results

★★★★★ Livraison rapide et correcte!

★★★★★ This cast iron baking sheet delivers excellent caramelization on everything from chicken to potatoes to veggies. Contemplating purchasing a second one to do larger volume cooking. Lodge cast iron products are 5 star and the best!!!

★★★★★ This is really great. It's extremely versatile. I've used it in the oven for chicken, and also on top of two gas range burners as a griddle for pancakes, which saved a lot of time. It's surprisingly easy to clean even though I did not reseason it before using it out of the box, like is usually suggested for new "Lodge" cast iron products.The review section asks for a rating in the ease in cleaning, the versatility, and the... flavor? Oookay. Well...? The cast iron baking pan (sheet pan with sides?) has no flavor. So... that part is also good. No weird flavor. Also, just plain, it's got no flavor except when food is in it. Then it tastes like the food you put in it.*(*"This pan has a minty fresh flavor that wakes up your mouth" not appearing in this review. Also, "This pan tastes like pineapples and ginger ale" not appearing in this review.)Other useful information: It's got heft to it. It's not lightweight. This is hefty cast iron, it weighs more than a glass 9x13 deep baking dish does. Maybe twice what a glass baking dish of its same approximate size would weigh. The handles that are built in are really useful, super sturdy, but it's not a lightweight item. You'll want to use both handles (and some pot holders) when moving it into or out of the oven.Its sides are one inch in height which is sufficient for things like catching the moisture released during baking chicken, while still not being so tall that the sides would impact alternative functions such as using it for a cookie sheet.It takes a little while to cool down before/after cleaning it (and then drying briefly on either the stovetop or in oven so it's completely dry) before it can be put away. I also wouldn't wash it directly, piping hot, from the stove unless I was using equally hot water to wash it with. I think sudden huge temperature shocks could possibly damage this full sheet pan, like if using cold cold water on a hot iron pan.This was an expensive sheet pan- at least I thought so- but it's incredibly versatile and it's nicer having ONE really functional thing than it is having half a dozen nice things that are only functional for one or two applications. It's more minimalistic. It doesn't have toxic nonstick coating on it, so you can use any kind of utensil on it and still not consume the poisonous fumes or chipped teflon or whatever that other baking sheets usually have. It's just simple and does its job well.It heats evenly, just as all good cast iron does. Like other good cast iron cookware, it'll also probably still be doing just as well at what it does, many decades from now. BIFL

★★★★★ Crispy roasted potatoes that are not achievable with aluminum oven pans.

★★★★★ This is the perfect baking pan whether you’re doing something delicate and salmon, or some thing as durable as roast I have never been given samples to try and review, but if this baking pan from lunch had been given to me to review, they would have to pry it out of my dead hands to get it back. It was worth every penny, and then some pastime is not hard to take care of just don’t bring your food and you won’t have a problem. As far as passing it on for generations to come I could care less if my daughter wants it after I’m dead good for her if not, I’m not gonna care I won’t be around, but I do know this won’t hold up to anything I throw at it and deliver quality tasting food. And yes, it’s all in the cast-iron, but large is an excellent company. I have been their customer for almost as long as they’ve been in business and that’s saying some thing I love all their bakeware, and I am brand loyal, and for the price lodge has never let me down just make up your mind put this in your cart check out , don’t do anything when you get up but wipe it down with a paper towel throw some bacon on it and puppet in the oven. Be the best thing you could ever do for your baking pan but I swear to God you’re going to be in love the minute, you open the box and hold this puppy in your hands.

★★★★★ These things ( I ordered 2) are a godsend. Nothing beats cast iron. Finally I can roast things in the oven at a high temp without the pan warping and twisting. These are rock solid and will last a lifetime. Everything tastes better cooked on it. You will never go back to teflon garbage after using these.

★★★★★ Good product. I recently purchased the Amazon Brand Cast Iron Dosa Tawa, and I am absolutely thrilled with its exceptional performance and outstanding quality. As a devoted dosa enthusiast, I've tried various tawas over the years, but this one has truly stood out in terms of its craftsmanship and cooking results.First and foremost, the build quality of this cast iron dosa tawa is remarkable. It's evident that Amazon has paid great attention to detail in its construction. The heavy-duty cast iron material ensures excellent heat distribution and retention, allowing for even cooking across the entire surface. This is particularly crucial when it comes to preparing dosas that require consistent heat across the tawa, and this product delivers flawlessly.One of the standout features of this dosa tawa is its pre-seasoned surface. This not only saves time and effort but also contributes to the authentic taste and texture of the dosas. The non-stick properties of the pre-seasoned surface work wonders, requiring minimal oil for cooking and producing dosas that are delightfully crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.I was also impressed by the ergonomic design of the tawa. The handle is well-crafted, offering a comfortable grip and allowing for easy flipping and maneuvering while cooking. The size of the tawa is just right, accommodating both smaller and larger dosas without any hassle.In terms of maintenance, the Amazon Brand Cast Iron Dosa Tawa is relatively easy to care for. It's important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and seasoning to maintain its performance and longevity, but with proper care, this tawa is sure to last for generations.Overall, I am thoroughly satisfied with my purchase of the Amazon Brand Cast Iron Dosa Tawa. It has elevated my dosa-making experience to a whole new level, delivering consistent, restaurant-quality results every time. If you're a dosa lover or simply someone who appreciates high-quality cookware, investing in this tawa is undoubtedly a decision you won't regret.

★★★★☆ Great quality. This tawa literally works like non stick pans and yess it is safe and toxin free 😃

★★★★★ Superb but need some care. Heavy, breakable so need care . This is normal in cast iron . Taste good .Take more heating time to become non sticky.No handle to direct touch .as this is breakable item. But there could be some arrangement.I want to give 5 star as want to keep. Very good for dosa.

★☆☆☆☆ Good for Sticky Dosa. Worgly purchase by the wrong spec. Because of stick and poor dosa experience changed my old Dosa pan but new dosa pan very horrible than old pan now started using old pan. Planning to scrap because occupying useless space and heavy weight too.

★★★☆☆ It is not seasoned for sure. It is good quality tawa. But not seasoned. You have to do procedure of seasoning at home.

★★★★★ Nice and worthy. Nice. dosa are very crispy and tasty coming out very easyly it's worthy can go for it with out second thought.

★★★★☆ Tawa that produces crispy dosa. Good value for it's price. Needed some seasoning in the beginning but now able to prepare crispy and thin dosa. It retains heat. The oil seeps all around when applied in the centre. Therefore, it's important to spread some oil in the centre after use. Otherwise rust forms in the middle. The tawa is really heavy. So, think about your handling power when you buy. A good product at this price.

★★★★★ Iron plate. This is completely made of iron and superb in quality and also dosa comes very smooth and neat. This is heavy but good
