It's a personal choice, but I've used Lodge along with a few other brands over the years and my 12 inch Field cast iron is my favorite.
Fields just feel like two thirds the weight of others and the new ones with the preseasoning last a good while before needing to reseason again. Very much worth it to me.
It just wasn't the same honestly. There were channels cut into the side after she cleaned it that I always got food stuck in that spot. I would have had to sand it down to get rid of it.
Not before I take this steel wool scour pad to a fully seasoned Field Company cast iron skillet that was soaked OVERNIGHT in vinegar water and then complain how dirty it was.
My Mother in Law literally did this. She ultimately bought me a new one.
Thank you for this. I was setting up to buy an nvidia shield to replace my roku ultras.
FWIW, I have so far tried:
Onn Google TV 4K: Returned it, freezes constantly.
Jailbroken AMZ fire stick w/ LineageOS. Buffering issues and wireless issues in general. I still use it, but not my favorite.
So for now it seems my next purchase will be a TiVo Stream 4k android device or a jailbroken fire tv cube and if that fails, I may just have to DIY an android Pi system lol.
Okay. I lol'ed.
