New cast iron is basically Lodge, without many other options.  I
always see Lodge cast iron sold individually.  New pieces are more
rough and heavy than the good old brands, for whatever reason.  I'd be
surprised if Lodge is even made in North America anymore.

I had to google to make sure it is still made in the US but I recently
saw a tv show that featured the Lodge plant and it was in the US.  The
site Mr. Google found for me indicated that the cast iron pans are made
in South Pittsburg. Their enameled pans are made in China.

levels of molybdenum, cobalt and other elements. Overnight, Le Creuset
changed all of their glaze recipes.

still using it. Made in France.

   New Le Creuset cast iron (made in  France) is available
