What Others Say
My Favorite Pot
Perfect size for singles/couples or for side dishes for families.
The cast iron is great for heat retention and durability. The enamel coating allows for more versatility than regular cast. The red is a beautiful color. I have the 3 qt. and the 6 qt. in red and the emerald. I have also bought these as gifts.
I love the fact that you can start a dish on stovetop and then transfer to oven, all in one pot. Food tastes delicious and cleanup is a breeze. You can also store your food in the refrigerator in these. It is so easy to use these pots.
Some tips from the brochure:
The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The black rim on the pot and lid are matte porcelain, not ... Read More
Better than mario batali's
I have had this exact casserole for about a yr and a half now, maybe longer. I love it. I did not get it at amazon, but paid a similar price at a kitchen collection store (the kind you find at outlet malls), go there if you would like to see this collection IRL. The picture does not do this lodge series justice. I think that they are actually prettier than the le crueset version! It is a very deep and rich color, not like the bright tomato color from my computer monitor.
It cleans up beautifully, I have not had any issues with any staining. The outside is in perfect shape and looks brand new. I use it on a gas stove and store it in my oven. I use this casserole as a skillet about 75% of the time, but also use it in the ... Read More
Good Quality, Great Price!
This is my first piece of enameled cast iron ware. I was looking for le creuset style without the price tag. So far the casserole has performed excellently. I had no difficulty with sticking (as some others have reported); the weight is nicely heavy but not unbearable and the appearance is great--I really liked the red color! The price was very affordable--I just placed an order for the matching 3qt dutch oven. I would recommend the Lodge pieces to others who are looking for some affordable and quality enameled cast iron ware.
Lodge trumps Le Creuset for value. Equals for quality.
Have had a Le Creuset enamel cast iron pot for a few years. Very nice, but I never added more pieces because of the exorbitant expense. Then I discovered Lodge of Tennessee. 120-year old company. Got the 6-quart and 3-quart Lodge "Color" series of enamel cast iron Dutch Ovens -- what a fantastic treat! I adore these Dutch Ovens. Other than color and subtle styling differences I cannot tell the Lodge pieces from the Le Creuset. They are lovely, highly functional and surprisingly easy to clean -- even after cooking and storing chili in the 6-quart for days and potato salad in the 3-quart. Five stars is not enough to convey the tremendous value of these Lodge Dutch Ovens, and that's at full price. I've now been giving them away for birthday presents.
