About this item

  • YOUR GO-TO DUTCH OVEN: A flawless pairing of form and function that doesn't quit. The Lodge Dutch Oven not only makes your kitchen look good but is an enameled cast iron classic great for preparing and serving memorable meals. Broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite meals in the oven up to 500 Degree F.
  • WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON. It is glass that becomes bonded to the cast iron at high temperatures. A particulate of glass, called frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400° F. The glass frit melts and fuses to the cast iron, forming a bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is heat tolerant and impervious to water and other consumables.
  • EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior has a smooth finish that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization and resists staining. Although enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended to keep your Dutch Oven in tip top shape
  • HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating throughout both the bottom and sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture for scrumptious pot roast, stews or a large batch of beans. Our heat retention also reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking.
  • FAMILY-OWNED. Lodge is more than just a business; it’s a family. The Lodge family founded the company in 1896, and they still own it today. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America. Products made with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE free material.

Cooking And Caring For Your Lodge Enameled Cast Iron

1. Allow cookware to cool.

2. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon Scrub Brush is recommended to preserve the cookware’s original appearance. Citrus juices and citrus-based cleaners (including some dishwasher detergents) should not be used, as they can dull the exterior gloss.

3. If necessary, use nylon pads or scrapers to remove food residue; metal pads or utensils will scratch or chip porcelain.

4. Slight stains can be removed by rubbing with dampened cloth and Lodge Enamel Cleaner or other ceramic cleaner according to directions on bottle.

5. Dry cookware thoroughly before storing. Do not stack cookware.

5.0 out of 5 stars replaced a blue dutch oven - very versatile
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2023
Color: LagoonVerified Purchase
For those of you who never have used a cast iron enamel coated dutch oven, you are missing out on a very useful and versatile part of your kitchen 'kit'.

This one is from Lodge - one of the leading names in cast iron cookware. While made in China, immediate inspection and cleaning only showed a couple of small imperfections that won't impact the durability and longevity of this pan.

I mentioned this is a replacement. The prior one was from a 'no name' brand and lasted about 10 years. We had changed color in the kitchen and because of how we store it (on the cooktop), we needed to update the color of the dutch oven as well. The 'old' one was put into the box that this one came in and is in the garage just in case we choose to bring it back into the kitchen!

Cast iron conducts heat extremely well. The distribution is very even - if the material is evenly spread across the bottom. It also holds heat well allowing a very slow 'cool down' when cooking.

This is enamel coated meaning it cleans up easily and well. A common complaint of uncoated cast iron is that it never really cleans up well. While potentially true, that is not the case with an enamel coated pan.

So what would you do with it? I have used it for krispie bars (the butter & marshmallows met great) , soups, stews, browning meat (it can go into the oven too) and even cooking bacon (sides make it hard for the splatters to escape).

We have looked at smaller (4 qt) and larger (7+ qt) but decided that for us - a 6qt one is the sweet spot. It is big enough to handle the larger cooking needs while small enough to handle and move without too much difficulty.

For those of you who have/have used enameled cast iron dutch ovens, you know what this is and already know that it is an easy 5 star rating. For those who haven't experienced it, what are you waiting for? Lodge is affordable and works great.

Le Creuset 100 percent #1 in Dutch ovens for heat retention, durability and craftsmanship but they come with a very hefty price tag. This is a close second at what I think is a very fair price. I bet it will last just as long, which is forever with proper care. I think this takes up less room than most crock pots, looks awesome on any kitchen display. Also, FAR superior to probably even the most expensive crock pot. I have cooked things for days both on the oven and burners and stuff comes out perfect every time.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a big heavy Dutch Oven
Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024
Color: Island Spice RedVerified Purchase
I've never had a Dutch Oven before this one... so I can't compare.
This is a well made cooking utensil. As others have noted it is made in China and unless you have a thing about stuff made in China this is a well made item. It is 6 quarts which is pretty big, particularly if you don't have some space to store it. Big, I think, means that there is a lot of metal to heat up and the temperature is pretty constant in the DO.
Cleaning and stirring in the pot is made easier by the curved sides at the bottom. I made a dish that required cooking rice in oil before the liquid was added and there was no sticking. The rest of the the dish was made on the stove top with simmering and bringing to a boil. The dish was finished in the oven. The pot was great for each part of the cooking.
Cleaning was easy, nothing stuck to the enamel.
Happy with this purchase.

This review is for the Lodge 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid – Dual Handles – Oven Safe up to 500°.

This is an "initial impressions" review based on my first use of this item. I plan to update this review in a few months after more experience using this item.

First, as a basis for comparison, I should note that I own several pieces of French-made enameled cast iron cookware from Staub, Le Creuset and Made In, as well as some Chinese-made pieces from lesser known brands. This includes three enameled cast iron Dutch ovens in smaller sizes from Staub and Le Creuset. I bought the oldest one of these maybe 25 years ago, and it still looks and works like brand new.

I also recently purchased, used, reviewed - and returned - a highly-rated Chinese-made 6 quart enameled cast iron Dutch oven from another manufacturer, which sells here at Amazon for a similar price to this one. That one was absolutely gorgeous out of the box. But it rusted and stained like crazy with ONE use. Ridiculous. Thus, I returned it.

This one looked very nice out of the box, but not as "pretty" as the one I returned. The enamel seems a bit thin - especially as compared to my French-made Staub and Le Creuset enameled cast iron Dutch ovens. So I have some concerns about long term durability. On the other hand, a similar-capacity French-made enameled cast iron Dutch oven from Staub or Le Creuset would have cost at least three times as much as this Chinese-made item from Lodge. And Lodge is an old, established, company with a hard-earned and well-deserved reputation for quality value-priced cookware.

All that notwithstanding, in its first use the performance of this Dutch oven was outstanding! I slow-cooked a pot of chili with beans and sun-dried tomatoes for several hours on the stove top and it turned out perfect and delicious. The thermal capacity of this beast is truly impressive.

Meanwhile, not a speck of rust . . . which is as it should be. Cleanup was not exactly a breeze, but it wasn't really very hard either. In the end, it looked like it had never been used. Hours cooking a full pot of chili with tomatoes presents quite a challenge to an enameled cast iron Dutch oven - especially one with a white or cream colored interior. However this one stood up to that challenge and met it.

Anyway, so far I am very pleased with this Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven. Since this is only an initial impression, and I do have some concerns about the durability of the enamel, at this point I'm only giving it four stars. However I plan to come back here later this year after having used it more extensively and update this review. At that point, I might upgrade it to five stars.

But . . . so far, so good!

I was initially a bit concerned about ordering due to some review regarding chips on the lid finish. But, the price was right. 25% of best known brand and Lodge is well known for it's quality. Have no fear. The fact that the enameled Lodge products are Chinese made is NO problem. This item is flawless and well packed. The color is very even. Just beautiful and more even than the photo would have you think.The lid fits perfectly, very heavy and tight. i'm totally happy with this Dutch Oven.
