Product Review

The "L" Series Dutch Oven is not only excellent for cooking, it is also the ideal vessel to serve meals in. Complimenting the stylish porcelain finish is the graceful "L" shaped stainless steel handle on the lid, providing a generous grip and perfect balance when handling while cooking or when cleaning. It can be used on all stove tops and in ovens, including induction, at temperatures below 500 degrees F. Not to be used in the microwave or on outdoor grills / campfires. Where the lid and pot meet, the visible black edge is a matte enamel undercoat more chip resistant than the primary colors. The white enamel cooking surface is FDA approved. Porcelain enamel eliminates the need to "season" cast iron, creating a non reactive surface perfect for all cooking techniques, as well as marinating, refrigerating or freezing. The corrosion resistant No. 304 stainless steel handle remain cool-touch while cooking on stovetop at moderate heat. 6 Qt, patriot red

Just holds a whole chicken or a small roast with companion vegetables and herbs and simmers them to perfection. Also very pretty red with the elegant, and very well designed handle, which makes it much easier to pick up when hot than the usual knob. Excellent quality!

everyone should own a dutch oven but why spend over $200. I chose this one because of the flat base.

update: 4 months of use and the base enamel has cracked and chipped. I'll be getting a new one. you get what you pay for. This time buying Le Creuset.

I've owned the Lodge L series 6 quart dutch oven for about 3 weeks. While I initially was pleased with both it's cooking (browning) performance and quality, its already begun to show its low quality. The lid chipped after its second use. As the lid was not dropped or slammed.. this looks like an enamel bounding issue. The same can be said for the crack in the enamel that has developed on the underside. Other dutch ovens I have owned have not shown this type of fragility so quickly. The edge where the lid and pot meets also rusts easily. Another disappointing flaw that means you have to keep the edge oiled at all times.

The handle is great and I wish all cast iron pots had such a generous loop to grab onto. My wife has weak wrists and loves this feature that make the pot lid easier to handle. She wishes the side handles were as large.

I would not buy this product again if given the chance. There are other cheaper options that are no worse.. and several superior...Read more
