Product DescriptionThe one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require ''seasoning.'' To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. A perfect pot making pot roast, simmering slow-cooked stews, or making your own veal stock.
What Others Say
Just as expected
Being from the south, I have used iron skillets for more than 50 years. I presently have five. The seven quart Dutch oven is well seasoned and ready to go. I expected no less from the makers, fellow Tennesseans from little old South Pittsburg. After another couple of years of use it will be even more perfect.

dutchoven
this dutchoven was damaged on it's interior as the finish was scraped off in 2 large areas from handling ( all the texture was gone as well as the pre-seasoned surface they advertise ) at mgf or the vendor it should have been a reject and am returning it this is one of my gripes about buying on line they pass off seconds and rejects counting on people just accepting it and not returning items that are obviously trash

Impressive Cooking
We have been looking for a way to cook today's beef roasts. Oven bags and crock pots have not produced the results we wanted(tender). We tried the dutch oven yesterday and it was great. The beef was tender and the potatoes and vegetables came out fine too. We were also impressed with the solid construction and quality fit of the Lodge Dutch Oven.
Don't forget to get buy the "Cast-Iron Cooking for Dummies" book.
Kim's Dutch Oven Review
The pot is great but the condition of the shipping container was horrible. The pot was not properly wrapped so it was a little scratched in transit. The shipper should have bubble wrapped it or something.
