While Lodge has been making skillets in Tennessee for more than 100 years, a new cast iron company was founded here just last year. Murfreesboro-based Borough Furnace, a startup by cousins (and self-proclaimed Lodge fans) Jason Connelly and John Truex, craft cast iron cookware with an emphasis on design.
“The beautiful modern design that John has come up with allows for cast iron to be a part of a home where the classic rustic cast iron pans may look out of place,” Connelly explains.
These more contemporary skillets are also eco-friendly. “We are working on a system to use 100 percent post-consumer material,” he adds. For more information, visit www.boroughfurnace.com.
