Whoa, I was not aware Lodge did such intricate engraving work in Canada's honor. They almost look like the designs on coins.

I can't wait for Lodge to also produce one skillet design for each US State haha. It appeals to both cast iron users, and numismatists. A strange Venn Diagram, no doubt.

The very first state I looked for was California, because it would presumably be a large and complex. And it is. But then I scrolled down by one state and saw Colorado. That's just disappointing lol

All the rectilinear US states make boring skillets, although credit where it's due, the photos suggest that those skillets are properly accounting for how lines of latitude curve with the Earth. Meaning that the Colorado skillet's top and bottom sides might actually be curves rather than straight lines. Very interesting. I enjoyed this haha

The amazing thing is they still charge $700 if you want to buy that Colorado. Even Rhode Island is $150...

I’m so disappointed with the placement of the Florida pan’s handle.

If they weren't going to make a panhandle out of the panhandle, they could have at least put it down at the bottom angling from Biscayne Bay down to Key West.

My main pan. I can no longer find it for sale. If I'd known, I would have purchased a second one.

Was there a picture that was meant with this comment? I don't seem to be able to find which pan you're referring to.

I was responding to your comment about the pan with the maple leaf...

[–] litchralee@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago

Ah, I see. I didn't know if it was that one, or the one with the loon + maple leaf, in the top-right.
