Thread: Cast iron?

They look to be a nice skillet although a bit high priced for a 10" skillet

Did you see anything saying if Legacy was going to cast the skillet themselves? If they are machining their skillets it makes me wonder if they are buying skillets from a company like Lodge and modifying them.

That was my first thought too. The do have a Lodge look to them

I'll order one when my Griswolds and Lodge's wear out

I like the idea of the machining on the cooking surface but these seem more like a decorative piece to me at first impression with the bottoms being fancy.

How would large and in some examples looking relatively sharp edges in the bottom designs reflect in heat transfer and stress from expansion and contraction if these were used every day?

I emailed Legacy to ask if they do their own cast, this was the response.

Thank you for the question.

At this time we do not make the cast iron in house. We get them from several companies all based in the US.

We have plans on opening a Casting Facility in 2018 and we will be doing our own castings in house then.

I hope this answered your question and if you have any more don't hesitate to ask

Thank You,
