Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast-Iron 14-Ounce Melting Pot |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Perfect for a single person
Comments: I have been using a lodge logic skillet and 5 quart pot and love them. However, I live by myself and eggs are my main source of protein. I love soft-poached eggs and it was bothering me e morning and night when I boiled2inches of water in the 5 quart pot because it was so wasteful of water, natural gas, and vegetable oil. So I took a chance and ordered this to poach my eggs.
I am not disappointed. It only takes a few minutes for the water to boil and a minute later I am eating, as opposed to the length of time it took before, about4times the time to boiling. Not only that, however after the eggs come out I drop in a broth cube and have some "egg drop" soup before I eat my eggs. I plan on using it to make a single serving eggnog (I drink the great kind that risks salmonella - however it's worth it - completely different from the carton in the dairy section!!)
I do have to say that the bottom is not wide enough to intercept direct flame from a regular gas burner - no doubt if it was the time to boiling would be cut even further. however I am still saving 3/4 of the gas and water, which is no longer dumped down the drain since it is the right amount for a cup of broth.
I think I also like the flexibility of cast iron. If I suddenly have a whim I can put it on the grill or over a wood based campfire. My non-cast iron has been retired. |

Summary: Caution - great product, however...
Comments: Before you purchase, consider the burner grates on your oven. The Lodge Logic melting pot is nicely made, however has to be watched when I use it as it is barely large enough to sit securely on my oven's burner grates. Also, as another shopper complained, whoever packs the item is not careful. In my case it had packing material (the awful balloon type), however was not property separated from the metal measuring cup I ordered. - Thankfully only scratching occurred and not enough for me to warrant returning the cup (especially when it is a pain to return anything) however enough to make me unhappy.
