Dutch oven $240 and skillet $300 if you were wondering :)

I once inherited two, 12' skillets that were over half a century old from a senior citizen off craigslist for just $15 and promised her that they were now in good hands. Best purchase yet.

Their shop has come a long way from when Anthony Bourdain interviewed them. Good to see they're thriving.

I’ve followed this company for years since they make impressive products. I know Bourdain was a fan. Bought a cast iron skillet from them like a decade ago. Ordered their Dutch oven through their Kickstarter campaign, and man, was that a process. They provided updates throughout, including when complications occurred - like the enamel company going out of business, their decision to attempt the process in-house, and all the complexities of navigating through the pandemic. Needless to say, it took a while to finally get the Dutch oven, but I’ve never questioned their level of dedication or craftsmanship. Great product!

Proudly 'Made in the USA'. Great to see such attention to detail and passion.

I love the idea of them reprocessing the scrap iron to turn into the pans. I hope they continue to flourish and can continue to keep up their high quality.

I was a appretice pipefitter in Dayton in the late 60s, we had several jobs at G.H. and R foundry. I loved watching them making cast iron moulds then pour it, I learned a lot just watching the guys work.

Beautiful products. It’s nice to see craftsmanship still lives in America.

I can totally dig a family company where the founders are putting in the work instead of kicking the labor out of the way just for the video. Out of my price range but maybe I’ll luckily score at a thrift store some day. The skillet and Dutch oven are very practical and what I’d consider art work. Very well done!

I've been designing cast iron components for 20 years and I really enjoyed watching your process. They look great

So nice to see owners take so much pride into their product. That seems rare today.

"We try to make things we can be proud of" ... Looks like you have far exceeded you expectations. Bravo

I'm really impressed by the mold making and level of finish these have, they look great! I wish people could understand how much actual time and effort goes into getting something like this out the door.

I had two family cast iron pans - one from 1917 and one from 1947 - that had been unused for years. So I seasoned them and they work great.

I am blown away that they made that whole production line themselves

A ton of individual labor. Very detailed in their craft. As someone who works in manufacturing, I can appreciate this. They are giving something of themselves in each piece. Beautiful and functional and able to be passed down from generation to generation. If you love cooking and more importantly, cooking with cast iron, a very reasonable price.

I am completely enameled by their creative process.

This is the type of content I needed. Cast iron pans makes the best food

Thank God for these highly skilled and dedicated craftsman. God bless your work, business and family. May God always protect you all from dangers in your work.

Watched the video twice. Great to see people who love what they do and focused on quality. Thanx.

I use cast iron a lot, and got very technical into it. This is by far the most care, labor, and quality in any cast iron manufacturing process I've seen; truly handmade! One correction for the video (07:49): flaxseed oil has a very low (not high) smoke point.

This couple is an excellent example of American hard work, ingenuity, attention to detail, craftsmanship, and self sufficiency. Cheers to them both!

I wish that there were more people like this in America so proud and happy for them Keep up the great work 👍

I'm impressed they pre-season them the right way. Just wish I could afford their products as this is a small business I can get behind.

This guy does a great John Malkovic impression

No one should EVER be scared off by the cost of a quality cast iron cooking piece. I have cast iron pieces that I quite literally have had for decades (30 years + and counting, and I don't see that not going for another 30). Compared to most other mass-produced pans, these can last an entire lifetime of the user.

I have been working in the foundry industry for 25 years. It was so cool to see things I see every day, but only in smaller scale. When I started working in a foundry, I didn't know what it was. It has not only become my career, but also my passion.

What a crisis that America has no enameling companies left. Those black speckled enamel roasting pans were just so iconic and useful. Thanks for keeping this craft alive even though I would not choose a enameled cast iron pan, plain for me!

That Dutch oven lid is beautiful, and very smart!

I've never had a video get deleted while I was watching it 😂😂 glad the reupload was quick!

So happy to see a beautiful enduring product coming out of the U.S...New York has made great cookware for more than a century...Good health and success to you craftspeople...It's becoming a lost art...

Wow. A lot of love goes into the final product. We can only hope your children are able and interested in your business. It is quite a legacy!

I am thrilled to see a company such as this, providing handmade products made lovingly until perfect! I would buy a couple of these, they'd last a lifetime! A big thank you to the industrious couple in the video. May you be blessed with much prosperity. Stay Safe.

It’s great to see how far they have succeeded in the last few years! Terrific!

"You Get What You Pay For" I salute your hard work, and great success. May God bless you and your family.

Everyone relax, this guy is a true craftsman and does not need a readout to tell him when the temperature is correct. Trial and error, day in and day out as he said in the video. Its really not any different than heating a knife and knowing what color it should be to quench properly.

Lots of work and Craftsmanship goes into one of those. I can see why they are not cheap.

This guy is soooooo interesting. Love the way he talks. He's so knowledgable.

This is such beautiful work, thank god there are company’s like this out here that provide pots/pans that aren’t coated with Teflon (poison) and built to last forever. Much respect

These are two very smart people. To pretty much make their entire manufacturing process from scratch. Extremely impressive.

This guy needs to be a narrator on the Calm app.

Okay. I love my le Crueset, and my all clads, but now I NEED some of these.

From when I was a kid to when I left home at 24, my Mother used the same black cast iron frying pan. Since I've had my own home I've gone through probably 10 or 15 teflon pans in the last 20 years.

No way you can pay your bills with this enormes handmanship. The production costs are too high. Greetings from Germany

Such respect for the craftmanship you guys put into this cookware. Seriously, bravo. The epitome of "do it yourself". Congratulations guys. Will be a customer for that grill pan come December 2020 👍👍👍

Love it when the owners know in and out of the manufacturing process.

Left out a very important piece of information about cooking with cast iron pans. Benefits of adding iron to your diet. That is one of the reasons I started using cast iron daily.

Had a lovely email correspondence with Liz. Highly recommend.

Simply beautiful, well thought out cookware.

When he said they remove the enamel from the lip edge of the lid and the pot I was sold. 😍

Delicate craftsmen...delicate products...for delicate cooking! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I discovered cooking on iron about 10 years ago. It really was a revelation. I have a cast iron skillet, a square griddle pan and a big flat griddle plate. I use the skillet literally every day. Never wash with soap. Just scrub in hot water while the pan is still fairly hot then dry immediately. I do occasional light oil with a paper towel and olive oil but find the hot water washing method leaves just enough oil on the pan to keep it well seasoned and rust free if I use them every day. The big flat plate I don't use often so I do oil that after every use. Sadly, I have a neurological condition that has weakened my wrists and grip to such an extent I wont be able to use them much longer so am going to donate them to my young adult student sons who are good cooks - but only steel! It would be nice to think they would use my iron pans for many decades as they will never wear out.

"no good way to measure the temperature" as a metallurgist, this hurts my feelings...

Great video! I'm looking forward to getting mine soon. 2 dutch ovens for $390 (including shipping) on the Kickstarter campaign. Granted it has taken longer than planned but they are doing something nobody else in the US is doing. I'm glad to support their business.

I love the process you are doing and the durability of them will last for years. Great work to both of you.

I'm VERY impressed. The amount of care and effort that you put into your craft is incredible. Thank you for this education.

My dude here giving me John Malkovich in space force vibes. The way he talks is uncanny.

For a self promotion this is beautifully made. You clearly know yourselves and I wish you well.

Such a beautiful team making beautiful cookware. I respect the attention to detail and quality.

I love these products. And their workshop look like it's their hobby and passion. Very calm and satisfied with their work.

Go watch Anthony Bourdain‘s video where he visited this place with the Balvenie series he did.

Someday, I will buy your products. Thank you for the "art" with longevity in mind.

Pure quality in this product.. something that will last a long time.. very rare these days

Amazing and interesting. Very surprised at all the work and customization that goes into a single piece. A lot of work for mass production. Really appreciate what you do... hopefully it can continue for generations...

I checked their website, they are completely sold out for Christmas.

A broken disc brake becomes a frying pan. Great stuff.

Passion, precision, family, what a fantastic business and achievement. Keep, keep going, you are making history...plus, I love cooking and would be so very happy to use what you produce, this is alchemy!

it makes me really happy to see the bright red of it when they opened the kiln

The kiln opening to the Ferrari Red hot pans,,it's like a graduation of sorts.

This isn't just cookware, this is art!

I got the 9 inch! Love my cast irons.. use em everyday. Good to help out a true craftsman and craftlady here! Look forward to getting it.

Wow, brilliant recreating the enameling process. I have a little experience casting metal and it isn't easy. Good job!

Is it just me or does 10:51 look absolutely beautiful

I love the process and the aesthetic but they’re being a little idealistic about the function. Cast Iron isn’t going to “hold” the temperature after turning the heat off or adding food. It maintains the temperature very well but they made it seem magic. It’s also 10x as expensive but I can’t imagine it works even 2x better than a Lodge or vintage skillet. Again, love the design and the small business aspect but just want to be realistic.

Good to see people MAKING something in the USA !! And cast iron is the best for cooking . I’ve been using it for 50 years and I had to go around to old farms and ask to look in there barn “junk” rooms to find old cast iron skillets ,Dutch ovens and such. Then I’d sand blast them and preseason them so I think most of mine are going on 80-100 years old . But I do have some new stuff too.I hope they are able to keep this business going.

Nice to see good product still been made. Also no program obsolescence on it. Is great to see.

Very interesting. This explains why good skillets are so expensive, and why cheap skillets are so shitty. You gotta appreciate craftsmanship when you see this! I do.

Yeah I'm gonna have to save up few months to want to buy one. But hey I'm proud of you all and I hope you sell great cause it all looks really nice. My budget is in the lodge or flea market. Lol

I've driven past their shop at least 100 times and didn't even know it was there. Now that I know high quality, hand made cast iron is produced locally, I'm definitely buying some.

Saw Tony Bourdain’s visit them while they were up in Syracuse, which led me to purchased one of their dutch ovens. Really amazing product, also cool to know they moved closer to my home, Ithaca N.Y.

OK, I subscribed. Fascinating. I've had a cast iron skillets that are 101 and 60 years old. They have outlasted 3 aluminum cookware sets. I am sure they be around long after I am dead, possibly used by alien archeologists.

Amazing stuff! I just buy my pots and pans from the goodwill store 🤣

Awesome , I used to love love visiting my dad in his works foundry .

She mentioned the art background and described her "predilection" ... a word many have a particular fondness for, actually. I came for the metal craftsmanship and got a bonus vocabulary refresher. How cool is that? 😎

Basic skillets are US made, however the Dutch Oven is made in China. With that said, I love my US made Lodge brand, skillet!

I love cast iron cookware! it literally changed my approach to cooking, and now I actually enjoy cooking

What a great product, thoughtfully made with pride and love. This is the best attribute of American innovation...sadly lacking in most products today.

I'm a big fan of vintage CI, but too, as a kid growing up, I love the stuff mom had . I use Barkeepers Friend to clean my collection of Revereware copper bottom pans- it's the only thing I trust to not denude the copper plating. Revereware and Ekcoware are two of the best vintage cookware to own- I only buy in the date range of 1939- 1968 too. I buy the ones that are bellied; overheated and sprung out on the bottom, they can be easily restored by placing them upside down on a workbench and using a rubber mallet giving a sharp blow to reverse the bell from convex to concave. Now use as normal, the belly may return but I found it stays true after only 2- 3 treatments. I scored a bellied Revereware 4- 1/2 qt. pot for $.75 (and that was a half- price sale day), these pans are the ones people avoid for obvious reasons and thrift stores heavily discount because nobody wants them- except guys like me. ☺ Tip: Used Revere Ware is often labeled vintage because it looks old, not because it has the original, thick cladding; a 10" fryer can go for about $45 + S&H on Ebay. Since the difference isn't visible, how does a buyer know which is which? Simple, look for the Process Patent hallmark. All Revere Ware made with the original, thick copper bottom carries the inscription: Pat Pend. or Made Under Process Patent (1939-1968). Newer Revere Ware (made after 1968) has no notation regarding patents. Then too even a later date make is far superior to what they produce today, they have the plating thickness controlled down to the 1- 2 micron level; it's more copper color than copper plating and it's gone in the first month of use. Oh yes, nicely done video too folks☺

Buy these pans people. Much better than the Teflon crap people use now.

As an ex machine manufacturer I'm hugely impressed with the quality of the iron castings, truly remarkable.

That is some excellent cookware. I need these in my life.

Exquisite! Next time I treat myself with a new pan, I will definitely look to you guys.

cast iron pans are amazing af

7:50 flax seed oil has a low smoke point of 225 degrees farenheight.

I'm super impressed. Usually these shows are like used car salesman. This guy is all about the technology and making the best product possible. When you consider that these will easily last 100 years the price is a bargain.

I have been wanting a dutch oven. Gonna check them out! Love this series!

I just brought one 10.5" Frying Skillet

Quality lasts. I have a Dutch Oven that my Great Grandfather made in a foundry during WWI. It is still feeding the 5th generation of my family. I use a lot of cast iron pans. I’ll get one of these some day soon.

Second time I've watched this.... Still impressed with their workmanship

Fascinating and such craftsmanship. My cast irons and my woks are probably my most used kitchen ware.
