Lodge Cast Iron 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, Lagoon Green

An excellent cookware. It requires very little maintenance. It cooks evenly whether on top of the stove or in it. The Dutch oven is non stick as long as you apply a little butter or vegetable oil. or cooking spray. The one thing I would highly recommend is never use metal utensils in it. The enamel glass finish will be damaged over time and everything will begin to stick. A lesson I had to learn the hard way .

I use this primarily for bread baking and it has changed my game! Love it. I thought the size might be too big but it has worked great and the quality and color are unbeatable for the price. Get one !

I bought this dutch oven for my college-aged daughter who cooks all the time. She was used to using my Le Creuset equivalent, and while I wasn't going to spend the big money on her, I purchased the Lodge for a fraction of the price. It exceeded all expectations. I had the opportunity to cook with this and found that it both braises and browns beautifully and consistently retains heat. Glad to have found this affordable product.

I would give this purchase a 10 star rating if I could. I found this Lodge Dutch Oven during Walmart Days by accident. Delivery was delayed due to weather. Some enameled Dutch ovens don't like tomatoes. The tomatoes sink to the bottom and scorch. This Dutch oven loves tomatoes. It is a heavier Dutch oven compared to other brands. Well constructed. Build to last with a life time warranty with the original owner. Fall/winter is coming. Looking forward to cooking roasts, stews and soups.

I purchased in December and have used numerous times already. I roasted a pork roast, chili, and pot roast with vegetables as well as making a large batch of pasta sauce. I love that you can put in the frig because it is enameled cast iron. Although I gave it 5 stars on everything, it is however a bit heavy, as I have severe muscle weakness. Wish there was a 5 quart as it might make this issue better, their 3 quart they have is to small for my needs. I read several reviews where they said it chipped or changed color or the enamel burnt, I find this almost impossible as I have not had this issue and as I stated I have used numerous times. Clean up is quick and easy. This purchase will be one of the best you'll ever make for your kitchen.

I am impressed with the quality of the enamel. Lodge always makes great cast iron cookware and this pot is no exception. I have made a chuck roast, pork ribs and tomorrow; venison chili for the playoffs. I only gave 4 stars for durability due to the fact that I have not used this Dutch oven very long. It looks like it will be a 5 star item in that respect if it is treated properly. That means not using metal utensils on it.

We have always like our Lodge cast iron pans. WE have had them for years. Using them inside and outside. When the enameled cast iron came out we bought 2, a red 3.5 quart and an red oval one. We used them all the time. So when we decided to go for a larger pan and we wanted an enamel one. I wanted another red one but after seeing some cooking shows I ordered a green one. I love it. we have used it at least 2 times a week for soups, chili, pot roast. It works beautifully. From oven to burners. I am careful because in the past the enamel has chipped. So I am careful with putting the top on and off and placing it on the shelf. I give it a ten.

Delivery was quick and product was just as described. Color is great. Weight is heavy in a nice durable sense if the word but not too heavy. I have only used it once. My food came out excellent and only had to use flame on low setting. Clean up was a breeze. Great product even better for the price.

In a side by side comparison the The Lodge's capacity is 6 qt vs Le Creuset 6-3/4 qt. Lodges porcelain finish is not as smooth, it has more orange peel compared to Le Creuset both inside and out. Both have fairly large handles and I actually preferred the handles on the Lodge compared to the Le Creuset a little more room for larger hands. Le Creuset had straighter sides which added a little more cooking surface on the bottom of the pot compared to the Lodge which had a more curved side reducing the overall cooking surface slightly so you may have to sear more batches. The Lodge Dutch oven had a more domed lid compared to the Le Creuset which had a flatter lid. The Le Creuset gives you a little edge in overall height if your oven is tight on space. As you can tell from my comparison it was more nit picking then anything else when comparing the two. While the Lodge is not a Le Creuset in it's fit and finish it is also 5 times less expensive and performs just as well in my opinion. You can't go wrong with the Lodge porcelain enamel dutch oven.

We bought this on sale, so our rating on value was good. We have not used it long enough to provide a higher rating on durability. As far as expectation it is everything we wanted. The construction is similar to Le Creuset. However, it's hard to determine the quality of the cast iron and enamel. This is an excellent dutch oven for first time owners. I was very surprised with our Lodge color enamel 6-quart cast iron dutch oven. One of my concerns was the knob. On the website it shows a plastic version. When our order arrived it had the metal knob, which is the newer model. Overall, we're very pleased and eager to use it.
