Lodge 6.62 litre / 7 quart Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven (with Loop Handles)

I bought this to up my breadmaking game. I went for the 7qt version because I wanted to go large on the loaves. I'm baking 1.5kg recipes and the 7qt accommodates this very well. The 5qt would be fine for 1kg loaves in my opinion. I went pure cast iron because they can take any temperature and, provided you keep it dry after use, it'll conceivably last forever. I've looked at hyper expensive alternatives and, now I have this, I really can't imagine needing anything better. I'm very much into high quality cookware and the Lodge is perfectly good for me. I seasoned it once (came pre-seasoned, but I did it as a precaution) and it hasn't needed anything since. I use it for bread only and I use parchment paper for lining it. The bread results (the photo was my second attempt) are incredible. If you're up for bread making this is a game changer.

DEAR SIRS! AFTER HAVING USED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE BACK OF THE LEAD WHEN I WAS CLEANING IT SOME VERY UNUSUAL KIND BROWN THICK PASTE IS IT NORMAL? EVEN WHEN IS DRY IT LEAVES THAT BROWN STAIN. PLEASE CAN SOME BODY TELL ME IF IT IS NORMAL? IT DID COST OVER £90.00 POUNDS.ALL I WANT IS AN ANSWER TO THAT EFFECT.

Arrived today in great condition in very good time from the US, we have several pieces from lodge and we use them all the time, if you look after them they won't go rusty , we got the dutch. oven for baking bread.and are really pleased with this purchase . it arrived well seasoned but we did it twice more in the oven and its ready to cook in.

I love Lodge cast iron and have quite the collection! I bought this model specifically for baking my Sourdough loaves and after a wee wait (just under 2 weeks) my Dutch oven arrived safely from the USA, the home of Lodge. Very happy with it xx

Useful when you don’t need a big pot, many uses, even bake my banana bread, I use on my glass electric top hob

Much cheaper than enamel ware; gets better with age; can be cleaned up and re-seasoned very easily. No substitute!

Good solid iron pot will last a lifetime if cared for and seasoned regularly.

I have from far past few Lodge items - perfectly made. This one though excellent design, good size....quality is trashious. I couldn't believe that on one side of the cover it was visually thinner. Very strange that it even passed quality check...

I love Lodge cast iron! The 2 qt. serving pot makes a great and versatile addition to my kitchen. It is the perfect size to cook for 1-3 people. I roasted potatoes in it after a quick scrub out of the packaging, and they turned out perfectly, with no sticking. (I know some people don't trust the factory seasoning, but I'm pretty sure the factory has seasoned more cast iron than I ever will. It was fine. Zero issues.) I was also excited to discover the lid fits perfectly on the Lodge 8" skillet, so both pieces will probably get more use.

You simply can't go wrong with a Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven! This product has become an absolute gem in my kitchen, and I find myself using it all the time. The durability and quality of Lodge products are unparalleled, and this Dutch Oven is no exception. From stovetop to oven, it performs flawlessly, delivering even heat distribution for consistently delicious meals. The versatility of this Dutch Oven has truly transformed the way I cook. The fact that even my kids asked for one for Christmas speaks volumes. It's a testament to the enduring appeal and functionality of Lodge cast iron cookware. If you're considering adding a Dutch Oven to your kitchen arsenal, look no further. Lodge delivers yet again!

I purchased this dutch oven just after Christmas and it did not disappoint. It has no defects and although it came pre-seasoned I re-seasoned just once to be certain. I have cooked so many different meals in it already I use it easy every 3rd to 4th day for something. I like the size as I can do a lot of batch cooking, and stocks. I use it for Rice and Beans, large cuts of meats, small chickens, and duck. I have used it for deep frying and just recently butter chicken. It really is a workhorse. Ive had no problems with its seasoning, if your concerned about it do look up how to properly care for cast iron, it should help you. Yes it is very heavy, when its filled it is even more so, it's an 8qt Cast Iron Pot and I didnt expect anything less. All around Im happy to have finally bought myself a great quality dutch oven.

Esta olla funciona como un pequeño horno, ya que distribuye perfectamente el calor en todo su interior mientras esté tapada, la utilizo para hacer arroz y queda perfecto, también la he utilizado para hacer fondue y permite que el queso se funda uniformemente sin adherirse a la superficie de la olla. Muy recomendable. A la hora de limpiarla deben de hacerlo con una fibra de metal y secarla inmediatamente después de su uso, ya que al quedar húmeda aparecerá óxido, lo cual es normal en este tipo de material, pero es inofensivo para la olla, solamente es necesario tallarla de nuevo para retirar el óxido y quedará como nueva.

Mal emballée, sans rembourrage, couvercle égratigné.
