"I thought I would love this lids but it is just OK for my needs."
"heavy duty."
"We have found Lodge cast iron items to be top notch in quality, and this lid is no exception."
"Bought this to fit a no name number 5 and it was SO close."
"The lid has expanded an already large repetoire of cooking options for my beloved skillet and I accordingly recommend it to anyone who has a 12" cast iron skillet and who wants to do more than just fry and open bake with that."
"Something to keep in mind is that the lid has to be treated the same way as a cast iron pan, for me that involves mostly inverting it over an open flame after use."
"It fits perfectly, it's solid - good addition for the Logic 12" pan."

They don't even make a lid for the cereal bowl, so this saved moving it into another container for storage. Even neater is that there are small sizes so if you have a cup that isn't empty (you want to save your bourbon until next time your brother in law comes over), you can just put the small lid on and it will fit and keep it safe. I found in using them that one key thing is you still need to try and match the general size of the stretch lid to the container, it will only stretch so much. But it's much better than when you have a plastic container that resembles twenty different lids in your drawer in both shape and size and none of them fit."
"I bought these lids particularly so that I could reheat food in the microwave without any splattering of food onto the inside of the oven. The details in the add did state that these little silicon lids are microwave safe and can tolerate an extreme amount of heat. But, as with microwaving anything with a lid, you need to remember that the steam in reheating is coing to cause the lid to possibly fly off the container, causing a mess in the oven and possibly injury to yourself. Use in Microwaves or Ovens is not recommended unless the seal is broken by leaving an opening in the cover. If the container is fully sealed whilst in Microwave or Oven, the expanding heat and pressure and subsequent release of the cover, may result in damage and/or injury."
"What a great purchase."
"They are great for the Pyrex bowls that are missing lids and I use them with my colanders when I am preparing a bunch of fresh produce."
"These have already saved me a ton of money that would normally be spent on press and seal wrap, aluminum foil or saran wrap!"
"I bought these during prime day and was very excited! Often I come to the fridge to find them off of the Tupperware or bowls they were previously covering."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I scrubbed it with hot water and coarse kosher salt, rinsed, then set on a burner and turned the burner on low, then gradually increased the heat until fully dry. While the pan is hot, I take a little bit of Crisco Shortening (about a tablespoon) and drop it in the pan, using a pasty brush I spread the melted shortening over the full interior surface, then I take a paper towel and wipe out any excess (but not too dry you want it to have a slight sheen to it), then I rub the outside of the pan, including the handle, sides and bottom. If you do have a sticking when the pan has cooled add hot water only, allow to soak for about 15 minutes or so and clean as usual."
"But really, the proof in the quality of this cast iron was obvious when i made sweet potato corn bread and baked it in the oven in this skillet. I'm enclosing pictures, so you can see the nice way it cooked the corn bread on both the top and bottom of the bread."
"I love this skillet!"
"Perfect for egg muffin sandwiches, it's the right size and height after cooking compared to the "Mc" brand."
"To season the pan (yes, it is pre-seasoned, but...if you want the BEST non-stick pan...) just coat the pan with a light coating of cooking oil and put it in the oven (upside down) at 450 for 20 minutes. Then, turn the oven off and let the pan cool off. The best part is when a recipe requires cooking in a pan and then transferring the contents into bakeware, so it can be placed in the oven."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I love to cook, and the technology as well as the ability to have an app where I could store everything to do with my Instant Pot in one place really excited me, so rather than purchasing another Duo I decided to go for the Smart Pot for several reasons, one of which was the convenience of using the app to store recipes that I have created along with cooking/timing instructions that I thought could be stored in the app. Except for the included recipes that come with the app, you must access your recipe elsewhere instead of having your downloaded or created recipes available to reference within the app itself. In other words, you can download scripts that go with recipes from the web, but you can't download the recipe itself, nor the photo included with the recipe/instructions. As of today there are 21 recipes in the app which were included with the app. All you can do is put scripts that go with recipes in there, but no recipes to accompany the scripts. ***Note: The very limited number of recipes that are included with the app have the full recipes, photos, plus instructions included, as well as the script that accompanies the recipe. I assumed when purchasing the Smart Pot, that the recipes on the web which were advertised as being downloadable by Instant Pot would appear the same in the app as the recipes included with the app. Disorganization of recipe scripts: there is no way to categorize or alphabetize added scripts-. As if not being able to write and add recipes or download recipes isn't bad enough, additionally there is also no way to organize scripts. The scripts are difficult to locate, as there is no way to organize them to help you locate the scripts that you have downloaded or customized and added.What happens when you download or create a script is that the name of the script will show up in a little box at the bottom of your app. No photo (or recipe) to accompany that, but just the name of the script and script instructions for pot. To find a recipe script you will have to laterally and literally scroll through all the other recipe script names. (high pressure for 3, release pressure after 10 minutes) Yet still on the app, the script states "Hold to high pressure for 4 minutes", "Pause Hot for 10," "Pause done 01". Also, when the app is running this script the app says the pot is at low pressure when the pot is actually at high pressure. (evident by viewing pressure bars on pot) This bug presents itself when using other recipes in the app as well. *When I use scripts, the scripts finish and the pot doesn't go into "keep warm" mode. Note: What I am doing is using an app called Paprika to store my recipes along with the scripts for the Instant Pot. I simply go from there and create a script in my Instant Pot app to use temporarily. It saves more time and less frustration than trying to find a script within the disorganized Instant Pot app, and since I can't upload or enter a recipe in the app, I have to store recipes in an organized place. Update April 21: For those of you interested in the Instant Pot Smart, I have recently seen via the Instant Pot website (comments under the Smart Pot page and spoken by one of the Instant Pot people) that the new version will be released in May 2015. Copied from Instant Pot site comments: "we expect the Android app to be available in May, roughly coinciding with availability of the updated Instant Pot SMART!" For example I have a script called "Bean Soak" but when I search for it the app can't find it. I was recently short on time so I bumped the Smart Pot script up to 130 for 4 hours and that worked perfectly as well."
"I used to use a food processor which was a mess to clean, now I throw the whole head of cauliflower in my steam basket with 1 cup of water in the instant pot and it's done in 1 minute on manual. Cheesecake, beans, ribs, bbq sauce, chicken pot pie, whole spaghetti squash, hard boiled eggs, I've loved every single thing I've tried so far."
"Here was their response: "Thank you for the pictures, we are sorry that your base got melted did you left the base on after you took the inner pot out or left on top of a heating element, our pot has 10 safety features to prevent any over heating, by the pictures that you send the melting is from the outside in is perfectly melted evenly and clear that was sent on a heating element, you can definitely purchase a new base for $60.00 Please advice." I very clearly explained to them it was having issues cooking things properly and kept burning stuff, and then this happened which smelled like an electrical problem, as there was smoke and a capacitor that popped and noxious fumes.... and the response: "That is correct, the overheating error will appear on the screen and the pot will turn it self off, this damaged was not cause by the heat inside the base, as per your picture the whole heating element is untouched. They're trying to say the overheating error on the screen has to do with electrical fires as well as your food getting too hot.... and that because the heating elements were fine inside the pot that it's obvious the unit didn't malfunction electrically, despite the electrics obviously not being inside the pot, but under, where it burned and melted. After incoherent and very defensive/obstinate responses from customer support, including an email that said "please see the pictures attached from honest customers" with three straight emails sending me pictures I didn't request, I asked the customer support agent to stop and to forward our correspondence to a supervisor. Funny thing is the pictures attached looked nothing like the damage to my unit, but whatever, after requesting to speak with a supervisor the customer service agent said she'd send me a new base. From denying your product could ever be faulty, to then determining with a few pictures that not only was it the customer's fault but that it would be a good idea to send three straight emails to the customer with pictures of OTHER people's damage claiming it's from 'honest' customers, and of course trying to SELL the customer a new product every step of the way."

"The two best things about this product are: A: It's cast iron, it will out last you if you take care of it. just spend five minutes after your meal to wash it (no soap needed). dry it (with a dish rag and then on the stove over low to medium heat) oil it (light coat with a paper towel). Ooh, I wanna take ya! Okay, Its only about seven or eight pounds, but you still shouldn't drop it on your toe. Or an Ewok, which is not a Wok at all, but a joke played on all of us by George Lucas."

If I can figure out how I will post a photo of before and after a couple minutes of vinegar. I just added a very small amount of vinegar, about 2 T probably, swished it around let it sit for a minute, applied a sponge, rinsed, dried and bam see next photo."

We use this for all of the food we cook daily and as you fellow avid reviewers may have read, Bar Keepers Friend really what you've heard!"
"Pros: +Really good looking (I greatly prefer the brushed exterior over polished). +Set includes a lid that will fit each pan (not all at the same time, though). +Curved lip for easy pouring. +Includes exactly the pieces I'd want. +Overall build quality rivals that of sets costing 2x the price or more. +Will probably last a lifetime. Cons: -Does take a bit of work to get used to and maintain (proper preheating and use of oil as well as a bit more elbow grease to clean over non-stick). -Questionable warranty (representative placed strong emphasis on the word "LIMITED" before "Lifetime", customer pays shipping BOTH WAYS). I almost went for the Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad pieces you can pick up for a reasonable price at Wal-Mart, but decided against it as this set looks better visually and includes all the pieces I wanted; finding all the Tramontina pieces I'd need looked like quite a chore. If you understand the pros and cons of cooking in stainless and decide to go with it over non-stick, this set is the one to look at if you want something to last a lifetime."

Find Best Price at Amazon"It is large enough to sear several steaks at a time, giving them a beautiful flavorful crust. Eggs, pancakes, french toast, grilled cheese, bacon, stir fry, salmon, literally everything I have thrown at it has been cooked faster and with more flavor than a normal pan. I can heat the griddle as hot as I like, unlike teflon cookware which can damage the nonstick properties. Lodge claims that the griddle is already pre-seasoned, but the first time I tried cooking some sunny side up eggs I ended up with a burnt crusty omelet that stuck to the pan. Thus, I began my Google search for the best method to season a cast iron pan. This basically means that the fat content in the flax oil breaks down readily at high heat and forms a tough film that gives cast-iron its non-stick properties. Again you want to make sure you do not go over 400 degrees because then the oil begins to smoke too quickly and the process of forming the hard coat is rushed. You may also want to open your windows and turn on the fan, the oil is essentially burning into smoke which may irritate your eyes and lungs. After an hour, turn off your stove and let the pan come to room temperature or cool enough to handle. Contrary to popular belief, a well-seasoned cast iron pan will NOT lose its coat with soap."
"We just got a new stove and compared to the old el'cheapo model, the difference in output is astonishing. I laughed when I saw a IR image of heat distribution and the belly aching about it. Enough to hash-mark the pork loin I cooked last night. You could light one back burner on medium and I guarantee you that in a half hour, if you try to pick it up form the end furthest away form the heat source that you'll be severely burned. Use something that wont scratch and scrape it clean under warm running water while the griddle is still warm...Then place it back on the stove and reheat to remove all water."
"Anyways, I had a hard time deciding and checked out Lodge's website as they have detailed measurements in PDF form available. I couldn't find any decent comparison pictures so I decided to add my own so others can make a decision to suit thei needs. I use the Lodge silicone egg rings though, and they work well and you can fit a bunch on this product for easy cooking. Easy way to cook lots of bacon or making hot sandwiches or just about anything."

With the extra box, my Lodge arrived very carefully packaged, and the pot was in perfect, pristine condition. The Lodge dutch oven has lovely exterior enamel and the cast iron is a bit heavier than other models."
"Although the item doesn't state it, Lodge replaced all their silly plastic lid knobs with steel ones... meaning they can be in a 500F oven!"
"I haven't cooked in mine yet, but I did in the one my son has and he's had his for a few years, and it's still in perfect condition. Update: After using this gorgeous pot weekly for the past 5 months it still looks brand new as if I just pulled it out of the box with the exception of 1 small pin size spot on the inside enamel missing."
"Product received with a chip in the lid."
"But today when I brown chicken breast, I heard of a pop and the oven looks like as following pic.I promise I followed all the thing listing on the instruction, wash it by hand, never heat it when it's empty."
"I purchased a Lodge EC6D43 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 6-Quart, Island Spice Red on January 31, 2017. After reading amazon feedback, there appears to be a number of people with similar problems. I am waiting to hear back from Lodge, but probably should have gone with a higher end product."
"Enamel inside bottom chipped on the second use."
"Outside package was not damaged but as soon as I opened the box there was green enamel all on the inside!"
