Editorial Review: Product Description: For more than a century home cooks and great chefs have cherished their round enamel cast iron ovens. From the stovetop and oven, to its elegant table presentation, Lodge Enamel provides superior cooking performance, versatility, and unparalleled style. When you're finished with your meal simply store your food in the refrigerator or freezer without any concern about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface. Amazon.com Review: Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Don't Cook At High Temperature!I purchased this dutch oven on Amazon because it was on sale and looked attractive. Unfortunately, I used it without reading the directions that said it shouldn't be used at temperatures over 400 degrees. I made No Knead Bread with the dutch oven and cooked it at 450 degrees. Sure enough, the knob on the lid cracked and when I took out the bread, there was a nickel-sized hole in the enamel finish at the bottom of the pot. Just a word of warning that if your recipe calls ... Read More Rating:  - Exellent value; great resultsI've had this pot for several months and it has performed flawlessly. Gumbos, pasta sauces, etc. all cook very well and have not stained or discolored the white enamel in the least. Can't beat it at this price, much less $29 that I paid on sale!!! Rating: - A proper dutch ovenHeavy, wide, cast iron with an enamel coating. Lid fits very tight. You can even boil water in it with not much steam escaping. I don't think the knob is recommended for the oven, but mine has survived quite nicely. Muh cheaper than many others *coughcoughLeCrucetcough*. Absolutely worth your money. Rating:  - As Good as Le Creuset, but a Lot Less ExpensivePut the Lodge up against the Le Creuset and you'll be hard pressed to tell the difference. It cooks just like the Le Creuset as well. But the Lodge is much less expensive. The enamel surface is easy to clean, just don't use abrasives. It weighs a ton, so be sure to use the free shipping option. Rating: - Lodge Color (red) Enameled Cast-Iron Dutch OvenGreat product - works flawlessly. Excellent heat retention - i can keep a soup at a low boil on setting 2 of my oven. Easy to clean. 5 Stars |
