Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Ovens - 5.5 Quart Red

There is nothing to dislike……the Dutch oven is heavy, but to be expected considering the materials it's made of. Mine is blue %26 arrived in perfect condition. I immediately used it for Thanksgiving on the cooktop. The lid holds heat in wonderfully and this saved space for cooking inside my oven stove. Might also say, I have an induction range which lodge cast iron works beautifully with. I have a much larger Dutch oven but I believe this 5.5 qt. size will be more versatile for my husband %26 me.

I bought this pot specifically for making sourdough bread. It works perfectly for that job. it is so attractive that I leave it on my stove top and have found myself using it for soups. stews, and sauces. It is heavy duty, a real workhorse in the kitchen. It is also very easy to clean.

We have been looking for a Dutch oven for a while and while in Walmart we saw this Lodge one for a great price. We wanted to see if it was available in a different color the sale assc. told us to check online. We found the same price and the right color on the website.

I originally purchased this to bake sourdough bread in (still waiting on the starter to be ready). In the meantime, I used it for making lasagna soup and a batch of rice. Both turned out great. The Dutch oven is quite heavy and is really good quality. Food doesn't stick to the interior, and it's easy to clean. The lasagna soup obviously was made with marinara, but that washed off easily without leaving a stain on the cream interiors. Even my picky husband is impressed and excited to cook more with the Dutch oven this winter. Highly recommend!

I love this pot. The inside does stain, but that’s normal for enamel. Can’t beat it for the price. Highly recommend I did have to return the one I ordered online due to it getting a big chip on handle from sloppy delivery. The delivery person, instead of walking up the 3 cement steps, choose to set it up on the porch upside down on the handles. The broken pieces were inside the packing bag .

I just spent $45 on this and when I received it, there’s clearly a reduced sticker on it that says it’s only $26.80. SERIOUSLY?? Why would Walmart think someone would be stupid enough not to see this. What a rip off. It’s going back!!! Really bad business practice Walmart!!!

I wanted to purchase a Dutch oven as an Christmas/anniversary present for my boyfriend and I to expand our culinary capabilities, and I was delighted to find this affordable alternative to the pricey Le Creusets. I'm impressed by the quality and the quick turnaround on the delivery so close to Christmas- we were able to make some delicious short ribs for Christmas!

At first I like the size and I love cooking/ baking with cast iron, so the enamel interior made it easy to clean. but after a few uses I noticed that the enamel was chipped on the inside. I hand wash all my cookware and I don't use metal utensils so i don't know when or how the chips occurred. It says the max baking temp is 550⁰and i haven't gotten near that, i don't break 500⁰. So now I'm stuck with a heavy pot that i can't use, who wants to get enamel on their soup.

I have had this Dutch oven for 2 months. it already has a huge crack in it and it's chipped all over. it has been well taken care of. I don't do drastic temp changes, it is washed, dried, and put away immediately after use. it has been well taken care of and then I go to pull my roast out oven the oven and it was destroyed. I washed it trying to find the issue and huge pieces of enamel fell off. I do not recommend purchasing this Dutch oven.

Walmart delivered this gift in a bag. It should have been put in a box with packing material for protection Who knows what it was banging against on the delivery truck? Seems like a no-brainer to me, considering how expensive Lodge items are. It should have been cared for in a much better way. Now my gift has caused a problem for the person I was showering with love.
