Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Lilac

The Lodge Dutch Oven is an enameled cast iron classic that offers a flawless pairing of form and function, making it an excellent choice for preparing and serving memorable meals. Unparalleled in heat retention and even heating, this Dutch Oven is a versatile tool that can be used for marinating, refrigerating, cooking, and serving.

The smooth glass surface of the Dutch Oven won't react to ingredients, allowing you to broil, braise, bake, or roast your favorite meals in the oven up to 500°F. You can also sauté, simmer, or fry on any stovetop, making it your new go-to Dutch Oven.

Porcelain enamel on cast iron is a unique feature that provides superior heat tolerance and imperviousness to water and other consumables. The process of creating this enamel involves applying a particulate of glass, called frit, to the cast iron vessel and then baking it at temperatures between 1200 and 1400°F. This process ensures a strong bond between the glass and the cast iron, resulting in a durable and reliable cooking surface.

The porcelain enameled interior of the Dutch Oven has a smooth finish that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists staining. Although the Dutch Oven is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to keep it in top-notch condition.

The cast iron vessel's superior heat distribution and retention ensure even heating throughout the bottom and sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture, resulting in scrumptious pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. This heat retention also reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking, making it an energy-efficient option.

Family-owned since 1896, Lodge is more than just a business; it's a family. From environmental responsibility to community development, their heads and hearts are rooted in America. The products they make are crafted with non-toxic, PFOA and PTFE-free materials, ensuring a safe and healthy cooking experience.

In summary, the Lodge Dutch Oven is a must-have in any kitchen, offering a perfect blend of form and function. Its versatility, durability, and heat retention make it an invaluable tool for preparing and serving unforgettable meals.
