About this item

• YOUR PREFERRED DUTCH OVEN: The Lodge Dutch Oven combines style and function effortlessly. This enameled cast iron classic is perfect for cooking and serving memorable meals. Use it to broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite dishes in temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON? It is a bonding process where glass is fused to cast iron under 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 frit melts and fuses to 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 smooth porcelain enameled interior prevents sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists staining. While the enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush for optimal maintenance.
• HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel evenly distributes and retains heat, ensuring even heating throughout the bottom and sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid locks in moisture, resulting in delicious pot roasts, stews, and large batches of beans. Our heat retention feature also helps to minimize energy consumption during cooking.
• FAMILY-OWNED: Lodge is not just a business, but a family. The Lodge family established the company in 1896 and remains the owner to this day. Their commitment to the environment and community development is deeply rooted in their values. All products are made with non-toxic materials that are free from PFOA and PTFE.
