Your cart is empty.This 1.5 Quart enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Stainless steel lid knob is oven safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. Made in China.

I use my wood stove to cook on...it's so easy and practical. These enameled cast iron dutch ovens are invaluable for cooking virtually anything on the wood stove, an induction cook top, gas, and electric radiant cook top. On warmer days when we don't have the wood stove going, I use this on the glass cook top on low as a slow cooker or oven.This is a very hard-to-get size. Basically, only Lodge and Le Creuset make this size. For the price, this is definitely the logical choice. I own quite a bit of enameled cast iron from various brands and have never had problems with the Lodge pieces. I can't understand why anyone would spring for several hundred dollars when the same thing is so much more affordable from Lodge. The only improvement is I wish Lodge used other colors in this size. That's what Le Creuset has over other manufacturers. Greens? Yellows? Oranges? Purples? The jewel tones would be so pretty sitting out on an exposed shelf in the kitchen.As far as the Lodge dutch oven, all the things that make a difference are there:-the bottom is flat, not rough so it won't scratch the glass cook top-the bottom of the dutch oven has a large ratio of cook surface for the volume (as opposed to the cute but illogical apple oven that Lodge makes) so the heating is faster-the bottom is flat, not concave, for more even heating (a concave bottom is useless, even harmful, on glass cook tops)-the lid sits snugly on the oven and doesn't rock so steam doesn't escape during cooking with the food drying out-handles are sufficient for grasping-the enameled surface allows me to cook more acidic foods, like tomato bases, and white foods, like rice or quinoa, without staining the food-the size is just right for soup for two, rice, reheating leftovers, two cans of corn, etc.It's heavy, of course. You hope it's heavy because it's not iron if it isn't. Iron IS heavy - check the periodic table of elements. It'll save that trip to the gym for the reps on the arms.Meanwhile, remember that the enamel is basically glass which shatters if there is a quick change in temperature. The iron and enamel expand and contract at different rates so warm it with warm water before putting it on a very hot surface, like a hot stove, if you don't want small cracks in the surface. If the inside stains, it's from a strongly colored food entering the small fissures that you created when changing the temperature too quickly. I've recently discovered a great cleaner for these pots - the Kohler cast iron sink cleaner works miracles on the stains in these pots!! Amazing!After removing all of the contents, initially soak it with water that is a similar temperature. ALL enameled cast iron needs this precaution, the brand doesn't matter. But, with its versatility and length of life, it's worth it!

It's just the two of us so... When my non-stick cookware died a long and painful death (may it rest in pieces), we needed to replace it, and the sticking point for us was a small enough pan to throw a can of corn in to heat it up for dinner. We always nuked our veggies, but they didn't stay warm for a long enough time to matter. Enter this little gem: everything stays nice and hot on the table as long as you replace the lid after serving from it. It's the perfect size for two people, and maybe up to four folks if using two cans.We have several pieces of non-coated cast iron, and I LOVE the way they perform, so I took a deep breath and ordered several Enameled Cast Iron pieces.1. This is perfect for oven-to-table use because it's nice-looking as well as tough as nails.2. The heat retention is fantastic; everything stays hot while you're eating.3. The heat distribution while cooking is the best I've seen: it caramelizes onions and browns meat evenly and far more rapidly than my non-stick pans and crates a beautiful fond on the bottom which is the cook's ideal result4. The cleanup is quick and easy, a nylon scrub pad (do NOT use anything that can scratch the surface such as Brillo or cleansers) is all that's needed. I don't put these in a dishwasher, per the manufacturer's recommendation to hand wash.

Very nice saucepan, possibly the best of this size I've ever owned. Great heat distribution, relatively easy to clean, seems to withstand putting in the dishwasher (which is not recommended). My only issue is that it is 1.5 quarts just to the top. Anyother other saucepan, etc., has had a bit more room, but not this. I've adjusted some of my recipes to deal with this. This isn't "the" premium brand, but I'm still fairly happy.

I can't believe that it has been since 2018 that we have owned this thing, and I am just now getting around to rating it. We have a ton of Lodge cast iron products in our house. They are significantly better than most cookware these days, especially when treated properly.But in this case the Dutch Oven was researched heavily and compared to that 'French' company that is also famous for their Dutch Ovens. I couldn't justify the price difference between them vs functionality AND since we were already a Lodge household it only made sense to keep our faith in a product that has already been servicing us faithfully for decades.I am glad to say that faith was not disappointed in ANY way. This is an amazing product. And I hope that my grandchildren (if I ever have any) will have the same faith in their products and presumably will inherit some of what we already have as well. My oldest piece of Lodge is not actually cookware it is an egg sized cast iron skillet that my grandmother used as a trivet on her stove. She has been gone for almost 40 years now and I still own it. My father has her actual cast iron cookware and still uses it.But these products have been serving my family in the kitchen since at least the 1930s and potentially earlier. It's amazing to think that given their affordability that the kind of quality you receive is enough to span generations. Any time I need cookware of any sort the first place I look is to Lodge to see if I can get it from them and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life.

I use my little Dutch Oven constantly! It makes perfect crispy bacon and fluffy rice. I bought some lid protectors for storage and also some rubber tip tongs. Just be sure to let it totally cool down before cleaning with a non-abrasive scrubber and it will be your new best friend in the kitchen!

We used it last night for the first time. What a perfect meal, cooked evenly and tasty. My wife lived that the inside bottom did not burn nor difficult to clean. Smart decision at a very reasonable price.

It's cute addition to my enameled cast iron collection.The price you pay for in India is the only downside of the product.Otherwise,a go to casserole when cooking for one person.

Grazie ad Amazon ho scoperto questa ghisa smaltata con una qualità /prezzo eccellente. Risponde perfettamente alle dimensioni e utilizzo personale. Bellissima, domani preparero' della marmellata di arance. ;-) Complimenti anche per l'imballaggio, recapitato persino in anticipo dalla data descritta nella scheda di consegna. Altre stelle le aggiungo io con molto piacere âââ

The rim edges still needs to be wipe, dried & oiled every each washing. Rust came out when you air dry but was removed by wiping with oil. Nice and good anyway. I've just used it once and still way too early to say more. Anyway so far the lesson i learnt is don't let it air dry. Needs wiping right away after washing.
