Are...are you me?
I was literally comparing the cuisinart at ollies vs this earlier today. Im going with the cuisinart though, for a few reasons:
- Made in China (lodge) vs made in Vietnam (cuisinart). I'm going to call that a wash
- 7.5qt (lodge) vs 9qt ( cuisinart). If you are going this big, might as well go all the way
- $55 (lodge) vs $40 (cuisinart)
So the cuisinart is 20% bigger, for 15% less money, and comparable quality. I kind of like the red for the lodge, but not enough to override the numbers.

Yeah, the US one can be ordered directly from their site. Crazy expensive - $350 - though, for this size. I would personally look at le cruset at that range.

Honestly, I don't think there IS a difference between the two. The very first thing that the US version says is that is made in America with imported materials. So it's the same iron, same enamel, just in a different cast.
The weights are even the same: 17.71lbs (US) vs. 17.73lbs, less than half an ounce. Maybe from the different know.
Just doesn't seem like it's worth 7x the price. The warranty is even the same...lol

Lodge Enameled Iron products are made in China to strict metallurgical and casting specifications.
