3-Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Red

This versatile 3-Quart enamel Dutch oven from Lodge is perfect for a wide range of cooking tasks, from cooking and marinating to refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel finish on the cast iron construction allows it to be used on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. However, it is not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open flames, nor is it suitable for microwaves.

The Lodge Dutch Oven is crafted from molten iron poured into individual sand molds, resulting in a durable and high-performing cookware piece. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron, providing a smooth and easy-to-clean cooking experience. The cast iron construction ensures superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating the bottom, sidewalls, and even the tightly fitting lid, which helps seal in moisture for delicious, slow-cooked meals.

The excellent heat retention of the cast iron vessel helps reduce the amount of energy needed for cooking, making this Dutch oven an efficient and eco-friendly choice. The two layers of hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip-resistant and easy to clean, while the stainless steel lid knob is oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The matte black rim on the pot is made of porcelain, not exposed cast iron, maintaining a sleek and hygienic appearance.

The porcelain enamel finish is non-reactive with food, ensuring a safe and healthy cooking experience. Although dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash this Dutch oven with warm, soapy water to preserve its original appearance and performance.

Lodge is a family-owned business that has been crafting quality cookware since 1896. With a focus on environmental responsibility and community development, they take pride in creating non-toxic, PFOA and PTFE-free products that are built to last. The Lodge Dutch Oven is a true kitchen classic, combining form and function to deliver exceptional cooking results time and time again.
