Great dish!
By Busy Mother Wife and Nurse
This pot is beautiful! The blue is vibrant. This is my third enamel cast iron piece and I just love how they brown meat perfectly and clean up great. I can brown 5 chicken breasts at once in this pot, it also reduces liquids quickly. This dish is built to last… heavy, sturdy construction. I will have it for my lifetime and I have no doubt that my children or even grandchildren will use it too!

Absolutely Great Pan
By Lizzie D
This pan heats so evenly and well that I’m able to cook at a much lower setting than with other pans. Clean-up is easy if you’ve used oil or cooking spray–just a little dish soap gets everything with no scrubbing necessary. The pan’s capacity is just right for making a casserole or stew for six but it’s not as deep as a traditional dutch oven. I handle with care around my ceramic cooktop because of the weight and because sliding the pan could cause scratches. The color reminds me of “coppertone” kitchen applicances from the 60s, a nice flashback for a Boomer. This pan IS heavy but that will not come as a surprise to anyone who’s cooked with cast iron. It’s a great pan for either stovetop or oven. Highly recommended.

Love this Casserole
By Big Mac’s Wife
I have this casserole in the cafe color. When I ordered it, I wasn’t certain I would like the color, but truthfully, I believe I prefer the more neutral color over the brighter colors. I have yet to use it in the oven ’cause I haven’t had it long enough but it doubles nicely as a fry pan. I have fried chicken in it & country style steak with gravy with great results. My cooktop is the kind with cast iron burners, slow but easy on maintenance. Surprisely, this pan is so easy to clean & no worry about ruining the seasoning of the pan or eating non-stick coating. You have to wonder about cooking with non-stick when the manufacturers of non-stick cookware instructions tell you that cooking with it could be fatal to pet birds’ respiratory systems.
It would be nice if Lodge made a 2 qt. enameled sauce pan ’cause I’d buy one in a flash. I also own a cheaper brand 3-1/2 quart Dutch oven & rice cooks wonderfully in it, and again, it’s easy to clean.
I now have on order the Lodge 7 qt. kiwi enamel Dutch oven (my husband doesn’t know yet) & I can’t wait to prepare some homemade veggie soup in it as well as other meals in the oven.
Had I known how wonderful Lodge enamel cast iron is, I wouldn’t have a kitchen full of stainless cookware that’s hardly used. My suggestion is don’t make the mistakes I’ve previously made buying cookware sets – buy individual pieces you know are quality & pieces you know you will use.
