About this item

• ### YOUR IDEAL DUTCH OVEN:
• A perfect blend of style and utility that stands the test of time. The Lodge Dutch Oven enhances your kitchen aesthetic while serving as an enameled cast iron essential, perfect for crafting and presenting unforgettable dishes. Cook, braise, bake, or roast your favorite recipes in the oven at temperatures up to 500°F.
• ### WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON?
• This material consists of glass that bonds to cast iron when subjected to high heat. A glass powder known as frit is applied to the cast iron piece and then fired at temperatures between 1200 and 1400°F. During this process, the frit melts and adheres to the cast iron, creating a durable bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron withstands heat and is resistant to moisture and various foods.
• ### SIMPLE COOKING AND CLEANING:
• The enameled interior features a smooth surface that reduces sticking, enhances caramelization, and resists stains. While enameled cast iron can go in the dishwasher, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon brush is advisable for maintaining your Dutch Oven's condition.
• ### EXCEPTIONAL HEAT RETENTION:
• The cast iron construction ensures excellent heat distribution and retention, providing consistent heating across both the base and sides. The snug lid locks in moisture, making it ideal for pot roasts, stews, or large quantities of beans. This superior heat retention also lowers energy consumption during cooking.
• ### FAMILY-OWNED HERITAGE:
• Lodge represents more than a mere business; it embodies a family legacy. Established in 1896, the Lodge family continues to operate the company today. Their commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement reflects deep American roots. All products are made from non-toxic materials, free of PFOA and PTFE.
