Lodge 7.38 litre / 7.8 quart Cast Iron/Porcelain Enamel Dutch Oven/Casserole Dish, Red

Really high quality cast iron pot. We use this for baking sourdough bread in the oven at 230 degrees Celsius, and it is definitely up to the job.... Retains the heat well, does great bread, and very easy to clean....

Very pleased with this Dutch oven. Beautiful quality. Arrived within a week to UK. Now our sourdough bread comes out perfectly cooked. This is just so useful. We’ll be using it for stews, etc as well. Large size but happy to display this on top of my stove. Highly recommended and worth every penny

Gorgeous colour, cooks quicker than others I've used so saves on energy, easy to clean with no staining from things like tomato or curry paste. So glad I spent that bit extra to get this top quality cookware

This arrived after 10 days from the US. There was full tracking provided and strangely for such a heavy item it was delivered by Royal Mail. It was packed really very well and arrived in first class condition, just a little dusty but a quick soapy wash and it's good to go.

Love this, bakes bread & great for casseroles etc keeping everything lovely & moist.

Great pot, works as you'd expect.

Cheaper than more expensive le creuset but just as good. Use it 3-4 times each week and it always cleans very well even after burnt on food.

Great heat distribution

すごくよいです。見た目や色もすてきです。お手入れも楽。 大きいので4～5人ぶん楽勝です。

This is a good quality cast iron Dutch oven. Easy to clean, however, it's very heavy so a bit hard to handle. Overall, I'm super pleased and would buy it again.

I have a cheap stove, so it's not easily possible to stew things at lower temperature with regular pots. The heat dissipates too quickly, so it just stops simmering. Not with this pot: It has amazing heat retention, so it has become indispensable since I bought it. It is extremely heavy though, which is to be expected by such a large mass of cast iron. Maybe it can double as a makeshift bomb shelter in a pinch. I guess any dutch oven has to measure up to Le Creuset, which I don't personally have any experience with. However, I can see that the Le Creuset costs at least twice as much on Amazon. I doubt that it can be twice as good because this pot is damn near perfect. At 6 liters, it is a bit too big for two people, but that's hardly Lodge's fault. Only disadvantage to me is that the lid edges are kind of rough so they feel like unglazed terra cotta. That means that putting the lid on, taking it off, or moving it makes a scraping sound which I personally hate more than nails on a chalkboard. Fortunately, the lid is very heavy as well so it's not like you move it around too much. I'm kind of blindly rating its taste though. I have not tried eating it because I find cast iron too hard to chew, but I have to assume it's delicious.

Well made and heavy but that is to be expected of cast iron. Perfect size for a couple or small family.

First time to own a dutch oven, and after using it only a few times, I can't believe I've gone most of my life without one. Well, except the cost. The more famous brands cost 2-3 times what this Lodge brand cost, and although I can't say anything about longevity, I'm betting it'll become a family heirloom. Superb quality, all the way around.
