Lodge is the only cast-iron cookware company still operating in the US, and the pans are terrific. In this set you will find two skillets, a Dutch oven with cover, and a griddle.

These are great pots and pans for someone just starting out. Not too expensive and are great for the college student who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a set of pots and pans. I would recommend this cookware set for anyone.
