If you can find the old, old cast iron from Griswold, they are much lighter. Or I’ve heard Stargazer is as well. You can get Stargazer on Amazon but it’s pretty pricey. I was fortunate enough to get a Griswold handed down.

So I said much lighter. I weighed both my Lodge & Griswold 10-in. The Lodge was about 4-1/2 pounds & Griswold about 3-1/2 pounds. So cast iron is case iron, but when handling with one hand, I found the difference noticeable.

Thanks for the tip on the veggies. I knew about the meat, but I never thought about it being best to allow veggies to come to room temp to heat evenly.
