About this item

• THE IDEAL DUTCH OVEN: A perfect blend of style and functionality that never quits. The Lodge Dutch Oven not only enhances the aesthetic of your kitchen but is a classic enameled cast iron option ideal for preparing and serving memorable meals. Use it to broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite dishes in the oven up to 500 Degree F.
• PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON EXPLAINED: It is a glass coating that becomes fused to the cast iron at high temperatures. A layer of glass, known as frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then heated between 1200 and 1400° F. The frit melts and bonds with the cast iron, creating a durable coating. Porcelain enamel on cast iron can withstand high heat and is resistant to water and other substances.
• CONVENIENT TO COOK WITH AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior features a smooth surface that prevents sticking, encourages caramelization, and resists staining. While the enameled cast iron is safe to clean in the dishwasher, it is recommended to hand wash with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to maintain its quality.
• EXCELLENT HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel has exceptional heat distribution and retention, ensuring even heating on the bottom and sides. The snug-fitting lid seals in moisture, perfect for delicious pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. The superior heat retention also reduces energy consumption during cooking.
• A FAMILY-OWNED BUSINESS: Lodge is more than just a company; it is a family. The Lodge family established the company in 1896, and they still own it to this day. They are committed to environmental responsibility and community development, reflecting their values as an American-owned business. All products are made with non-toxic materials, free from PFOA & PTFE.
