Kris Stubblefield visits a home in Chattanooga’s Heritage Landing subdivision to shoot a how-to video using Lodge products and recipes, all of which can be found on the company’s website.Kris Stubblefield is a self-proclaimed over-stirrer. “My mom was a single mother, back when the telephone had a cord on it five feet long, and she was chasing two boys around the house. At some point, she decided when she needed to get dinner on the table she needed to have the boys in the kitchen, so she pulled a chair up to the kitchen counter and said, ‘Stir this pot.’ I am, to this day, an over-stirrer,” he says.
It’s a quality that serves him well these days. As Lodge Cast Iron’s associate product manager with an emphasis on the Test Kitchen, he needs a watchful eye to perfect the products and the recipes that accompany them.
“I do intended use and extreme use testing. I make sure the product does what we say it will do,” Stubblefield explains. “We’re also getting into more recipe development.”
Around that time, a buzzer goes off in the background.
“Excuse me for a second. My timer just went off,” he says.
