Don't Buy Lodge Cookware

After reading about the wonders and joy of Cast Iron cooking, I specifically sought out Lodge as it trumpeted itself as American made and superior over those 'made in China' knockoffs. Finally getting my hands on a 5 piece set, delivered to my door, I opened the factory sealed box, and to my utter disappointment, ...A BROKEN HANDLE FALLS OUT. The manufacturer's box had been doubled into an Amazon delivery box with wads of padding. Both boxes bore no visible dents or damage. Thus, I can only assume that the thing was broken at the point of manufacture. I looked at Amazon's return policy and they would exchange the item ONLY if I returned the entire 5 piece set, with shipping at $23 USD. The other 4 items otherwise arrived undamaged. Thus, I decided to keep the 4 remaining items, but post my experience with Lodge publicly, as accountability nowadays seems to be driven by bad press more than anything else. It's sad but American manufacturing has certainly declined tremendously.
