Product Description
This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 10 3/4" diameter, 4 1/2" deep. Emerald

Summary: Easilly worth the money....so far 2010-08-31
Comment: I purchaced one of these a few months ago, and use it all the time. It cooks well and cleans up easy. After reading
a few other posts about possible knob melting, i replaced mine with a stainless knob immediatly.
Honestly i use this more than my calpholon pots,and i'm now considering getting a larger 8qt dutch oven. I don't see how you can
go wrong. The bottom could be flatter but no issues at this point.

Summary: Damaged goods 2010-08-27
Comment: Someone wrote a review posted two days ago that the dutch oven they received was broken - well, mine was defective as well. It arrived with a chip on a handle and the enamel finish was all messy and peculiar on one side. I was suspicious right at the outset because the box it was in appeared to me to have been opened and retaped. Proceed with caution as it appears in at least two recent instances Amazon is distributing damaged goods.

Summary: Broken on arrival. 2010-08-25
Comment: I wish I could rate and review this product, BUT, I received it yesterday and the handle was completely broken off. It got damaged during shipping. People do need to take more care in handling our items in the shipping process. I am scheduled to receive the replacement on the 27th. Will update on how that one arrived. For now I have to give it a 1 star for how easily it is to break.

Comment: I've only owned this pot for a few months, and use it on a weekly basis. I've only used it on stovetop so far, and everything I have cooked in it has turned out beautiful and tasteful. The pot gets up to high heat quickly, and often I just cover and simmer on low or no heat. Meats are tender and juicy and vegetables taste magnificent. Very pleased with this purchase.
