About this item

• OUR BESTSELLING DUTCH OVEN: A perfect combination of style and functionality that never disappoints. The Lodge Dutch Oven not only enhances the look of your kitchen but also serves as a timeless enameled cast iron classic ideal for creating and serving memorable meals. Use it to broil, braise, bake, or roast your favorite dishes at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON? It is a type of glass that is bonded to the cast iron through high temperatures. A glass particulate called frit is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass frit melts and fuses with the cast iron, creating a strong bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is resistant to heat and impervious to water and other substances.
• EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior features a smooth finish that prevents sticking, encourages caramelization, and resists stains. While enameled cast iron can be washed in the dishwasher, it is recommended to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to maintain its excellent condition.
• SUPERIOR HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel offers exceptional heat distribution and retention, ensuring even heating on both the bottom and sidewalls. The well-fitting lid keeps moisture sealed inside, resulting in delicious pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. Our superior heat retention also reduces energy consumption during cooking.
• A FAMILY-OWNED COMPANY: Lodge is more than just a business; it is a family. The Lodge family established the company in 1896, and they are still the owners to this day. They are committed to environmental responsibility and community development, with their values deeply rooted in America.
