You know, I think those embossed ovens are really cool to look at, especially when you first take them out of the box. Cleaning them is a whole different story, though....getting all the crud out of all those little wrinkles and impressions is a REAL pain in the wahzoo, as far as I'm concerned. I even traded one of my new raised-logo Lodge lids for one of the old ones that our scout troop had with just the "engraved" logo that they used to sell. All that "pretty" stuff just makes for a more involved cleanup process IMHO

If I had my 'druthers, I'd trade all of my raised-logo Lodge lids for the old "smooth" ones
