  • LODGE porcelain enamel cookware... Terrific Value
Color: Island Spice Red
This is an easy product to like.! I have been a user and a fan of cast iron cookware for a long time. We used it 50 - 60 years ago while I was growing up and I continue to use it today. There are several good manufacturers of cast iron cookware on the market today. And there are even more if you consider the ones from the not-so-distant past.! But most of them were of the standard "black" or "grey" iron construction. It is only in the more recent past (say maybe the last ten or fifteen years..) that enameled porcelain has been used as a surface treatment for cast iron cookware. The advantages are many, but for me ease of maintenance and the ability to cook acid ingredients without damaging the pot or causing off-tastes in the food are what make me give these "new-fangled" cast iron pots a try. Lodge is one of the names that almost everyone has heard of (in the cast iron cookware business..). I am very happy to see that they have now decided to join the growing trend toward coated cast iron. The Lodge name on this pot was enough to make my decision for me. I have wondered about these pots for several years..... now I know the answer. I guess it doesn't matter too much which brand you choose, these coated pots are FAR better than the older style CI pots for cooking stews or soups or anything that contains tomatoes or other acid ingredients. For these tasks, these coated pots are perfect. I decided to make the purchase when I discovered that Lodge had seemingly broken through the price barrier and their pots were available at a much better price point than other brands (which I won't mention here..). I was pleased to see this addition to the Lodge line and jumped at the possibility to own one of these pots without raiding my 401K or seeing a banker for a loan.!! If you base your buying decision on performance alone, you will have a difficult decision. There are several brands available... all of which are top quality products. It is when you factor in VALUE that the Lodge line seems to rise to the top. This is a top quality product, beautifully made and finished, that cooks like pots that cost double or triple the amount. I made my decision based on value. I bought this pot because I wanted one... and I could justify the expense of THIS one. It does the job perfectly. It cooks just like you would expect a Lodge pot to cook. And it looks beautiful as well. The bottom line was price. Since I chose this Lodge pot, I can now afford to buy a second one of a different size.!! Yay.!! Give one of these a try. Top quality + Decent price = VALUE. Highly recommended. You cannot go wrong with this. ... show more

  • A kitchen must have
Color: 6 Qt Sandalwood
I couldn’t be happier with this Dutch oven from Lodge. The quality is outstanding — it feels solid and durable, and you can tell it’s built to last. The Sandalwood color is beautiful and looks great both on the stove and on the table. It heats evenly and retains heat incredibly well, which makes it perfect for bread baking, soups, stews, braising, and slow cooking. I’ve made homemade sourdough in it and the crust came out amazing thanks to the moisture-sealing lid. Everything cooks consistently without hot spots. The enamel interior is easy to clean and doesn’t require seasoning like traditional cast iron, which is a big plus. The dual handles make it easy to move (with oven mitts, of course), and the lid fits snugly to lock in flavor and moisture. For the price, this Dutch oven delivers exceptional performance and versatility. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking or wants to upgrade their kitchen essentials! ... show more

  • Great Alternative to the Expensive Brand
Color: 6 Qt Apricot
Title: Great Alternative to the Expensive Brand I absolutely love this cast-iron pot! It feels very high quality and performs just as well as some of the much more expensive brands. The orange color is really fun and looks great in the kitchen. I personally hand wash it and dry it immediately to keep it in great condition, and it has held up really well. If you’ve been considering one of the higher-end cast-iron brands but want to spend a little less, I would definitely recommend looking at this one. Overall, 5 out of 5 stars! ... show more

  • Changed my review -3- times !! Nice pot, But still Made in China
Color: Island Spice Red
I have been making soups in the pot all month on top of my induction oven with no problems. I thought it was a beautiful pot, but unfortunately there may be some flaws because I ran into a problem with mine the first time I used it in the oven. This should not happen !!! That said however the company is replacing the pot for me and that is why I've upped my review from a "1" star back up to "4" stars because LODGE is a very good company and I want to be fair to the company which is located in Tennessee. Here's the deal I bought the Pot on October 6th 2018 and used it for nearly 30 days mostly making soups on my induction top and it worked out nicely with no problems. But the first time I use it in the oven I made a roast at 300 degrees for 3 hours (the meal turned out just fine.) I then let the pot cool before I soaked it with dish soap in the kitchen sink. Almost immediately THE ENTIRE POT TURNED A DUSTY WHITE. It was indeed strange, so I cleaned the pot by hand and upon closer inspection I noticed THE CLEAR COAT HAS COMPLETELY BAKED OFF !! The pot looks like hell. I've washed it by hand since day one and the first time I put it in the oven it goes to crap. Now it's Nov. 11th and I'm "SIX" days outside of the Amazon return period !!! Great. No button to return this back to Amazon. So I called the Lodge company in Tennessee and talked with Ms. Reba in Customer Service. Explained the situation, after sending pictures of the pot to the company a couple of days later they informed me they strive for good customer service and they are replacing the pot. I can only hope the replacement holds up better than the first one. If it doesn't then I will look into another replacement brand like the Le Creuset, which would cost a whole lot more. I also bought a back up 6 Quart Dutch Oven from my local KHOL's store made by "Food Network" for less than $50, because I need it this weekend. It too is a beautiful blue pot made in China. I'm gong to try both pots before buying something more expensive. BOTTOM LINE: I would not be afraid to try the LODGE Dutch oven sold here on Amazon. It's reasonably priced and they company will back you up as long as you take care of the product. Just FYI: I own two other Lodge cast iron (Pre-seasoned) frying pans, with glass tops. Bot of those are black old fashion cast iron and they are 100% made in the USA. No problems with them what so ever. Both frying pans are available on Amazon and the glass lids from LODGE are also on Amazon. I recommend those highly. Therefore I've upped my review of this item back to FOUR STARS ****. Had the Red Dutch Oven been made in the USA like the other Lodge cast iron frying pans I'd give it five stars. ... show more

  • Great Dutch Oven at a really great price.
Color: Island Spice Red
I purchased the Lodge 6 qt. enameled dutch oven in Island Spice Red. I bought it to replace a cheaper enameled dutch oven that I had received as a gift and which had discolored almost immediately when used. So far this dutch oven has not discolored - and I have used it almost 2 dozen times to make things such as soup, stews, tomato sauce and several pot roasts. I let the pot cool down and then hand wash it in hot soapy water, using only a nylon scrub brush or synthetic scouring pad to remove any of the stubborn areas. So far it looks just as it did when I took it out of the box. I usually use only wooden utensils when cooking in it as I know metal could scratch the surface - and I am sure over time scratches would lead to discoloration. As for the size....the 6 qt. is perfect for my needs. I have done meals for 4 or 5 people and it has always been ample enough to handle the job. When I make pot roast I usually do a 4 lb roast and it handles that plus the carrots and onions and potatoes just fine. Cooking it at a long slow braise (275 for 4 hours or so) everything comes out perfectly. As for clean-up, when I cooked my first pot roast, I opened the lid and it was heavily coated with caramelized cooking juices and quite darkly stained. I thought this was going to be the beginning of a long, intense scrubbing and cleaning session that would result in discoloration of the inside of the lid. After letting it cool, and using just a nylon scrub brush with plenty of soap and very minimal effort, it was completely clean and like new! I had also read reviews that were negative regarding the way the lid was manufactured, thus producing a gap between the pot and the lid, allowing for excess evaporation - which would be a problem with long slow braising in the oven. Later reviews said that this seemed to be fixed in newer product and I was very happy to see that it was no longer an issue. The seal is secure between the pot and the lid. I would recommend taking care when using it, as with any enamel ware, and use only wooden or silicon utensils whenever possible. Also, as the insert recommended, remember to lift the pot and not drag it across oven racks and burners (this requires some muscle when the pot is full) - so as not to scratch it. It has already become an invaluable piece of cookware in my kitchen, and with the proper care I am hopeful that it will remain as such. As for the being made in China and concerns about lead...I did quite a bit of research regarding the lead in cookware coming out of China and feel confident that Lodge is closely monitoring its production to insure the safety of its cookware. While I do wish it was not made in China, it is one of the main reasons it is not well over $200 dollars like other top brands and is the main reason I could afford it. If I am ever able to find a Le Creuset outlet where I can buy just such an item at a reasonable cost I would definitely do so - but for now I am very happy with my purchase of the Lodge Dutch Oven. ... show more
