Ya know, you would think with all of our modern machinery, robots doing all the work, etc etc, we could turn out a skillet/pot of equal to, or greater quality that the old companies did, for the same $20+ or so that Lodge charges.
Comparatively speaking, Griswold, Wagner, and even old Lodge were working with primitive tools compared to what we have now.
Why is there no company making great quality finished skillets outside of the few boutique companies that are still hand pouring? Finex, Borough Furnace, etc.
Is it just a money thing, is the market so small that it wouldn't be profitable?
