Essential Enamel Braiser - Refrigerator- & Oven-Safe up to 500° F - Heat-Retaining, Induction-Safe & PFAS-Free Enamel Cookware - 3.5 Quart, Island Spice Red

Beautiful addition to my cooking dishes!! So happy I bought this. It's a great size for family cooking. Goes directly from the stove to the over and back. Great quality and very sturdy. Wipes clean! easy to use and it's exactly as pictured. Going back to buy other parts of the set! Cooks evenly and casseroles are SO nice ... Sautee on the stove, finish in the oven!

Recently purchased this. I needed a larger braiser, but wanted something that would also fit in my oversized toaster oven, and this fits like it was custom made. At $80 it's a steal. I have cast iron pans I've been using for over 50 years, including a Le Creuset dutch oven, and this appears to match the quality, and I expect my kids to finish out the next 50 years with this Lodge after I pass it on. Two key points. The bottom of the pan is about 10.75 in, or roughly the size of a 12" skillet. And the sides are nearly vertical and 2.5" tall. This is great for browning things without steaming, and keeping hot oil in the pan. The porcelain looks great, cleans up easily. It heat like a champ on the range and the lid works well, fits well and seals well. The handles are adequate in size. This is a piece you won't regret, and will use often.

Love this pan, looks so pretty I leave it out on my stove, mainly because I use it almost everyday! Cooks even and the clean up is a breeze. Love that it can go from stovetop to the oven! Like the little tabs that come with it to help protect the edges when storing. So worth the money.

I have the Lodge 3.6 quart cast iron enamel casserole pan, and I love it. I also have Lodge dutch ovens in 3 quart, 4.5 quart, 6 quart and 7.5 quart. I have had them all for about six months and I use them all the time. Lodge never claimed that these cast iron enamel coated products are made in America, their cast iron skillets and such are made in America, and I guess if where something is made is what determines whether you like an item, you will most likely not like this casserole pan. I am not sure what some of the reviewers are doing with the casserole pan, or why they have peeled and cracked really bad. I use my casserole pan all of the time. I take care of them, I don't put them in the dishwasher, which is what causes the enamel to crack, I store them carefully, though I guess not too carefully as they are stacked together, and I don't wash them when they are still hot, but I don't let the food sit in them for extended periods either. I do not use this pan as an everyday skillet either, and I don’t believe it was meant for that either, that is what their skillets are for. I heat them up prior to putting food in them to cook, though I do use high temperatures at times. I put them in the oven almost every time I use them after starting on the stove. This casserole pan has held up wonderfully and make the most wonderful meals for me and my family. I love it, and it is not super expensive. Seeing as I have five items from Lodge, if there was really something wrong with the enamel coated products, I would assume I would have experienced something by now with at least one of the ovens or casserole pan, and I have not. Don't put them in the dishwasher!! They will not hold up. These are truly wonderful tools for cooking. I make the best pot roasts, short ribs, chicken coq au vin, and more with them. The 3.6 casserole is perfect for chicken coq au vin, and one pot chicken and rice, and dishes like those. I absolutely love that pan and I use it frequently. I make enough food for four people comfortably, five or six depending on portions. It can fit about 8 chicken thighs with skin and 1 pound baby potatoes or a cup of rice. I will detail the other items that I have below, just as an FYI. I have made pot roast and beef stew in the 3 quart dutch oven, and it has come out so good, so don't pay attention to the people that say you can't do so with the smaller ovens. You 100% can. I make my elder parents food in the 3 quart all the time, and it the makes perfect amount for them to have a couple of dinners. The 3 quart is also great for baked ziti dishes, bread, and the like. This dutch oven is perfect for a single person to make magnificent meals in. The 4.5 quart dutch oven is also perfect for making pot roasts, stews, and such for a couple of people. It has a little more room than the 3 quart, making it perfect for two people. The 6 quart dutch oven is perfect for making food for my husband and I that we can eat for a few days. It is also great for making food when we have company over. This oven would be perfect for a family of four, though you could also make enough for six without leftovers. The 7.5 quart dutch oven is perfect for a large family. I use this when we are eating with my brother and his children, or we are having several couples over and want left overs. My husband loves leftovers. I hope this helps. The only time I have ever written a review this long or detailed is for the Lodge enamel coated items. I really love these products and find them extremely useful. This casserole pan is a wonderful addition to my kitchen.

Excellent quality. Amazing for one pot meals; it sears and deglazes beautifully. Clean up takes ten seconds. I avoid toxic chemicals and products and cast iron enamel is a winner in that regard. I have lots of pans, but I use this almost exclusively, making it a great value.

Very heavy but a great pan for cooking and using in the oven. I use mine daily. A great addition

LOVE this casserole pan, cooks beautifully, clean up is a breeze, nothing sticks, and the perfect size for all my cooking needs.

The first covered casserole I received had a bulge on the bottom and would not set flat on the burner. I called lodge to see if that was normal and they told me it should set flat, and recommended that I return it. The second casserole I received was perfect! It works wonderfully well as an open or covered skillet as well as it's intended purpose of a casserole. I washed it thoroughly and applied a small amount of oil or butter before using it. Eggs, potatoes, pancakes, caramelizing onions, and etc., cook great and do not stick. It is fantastic for braising and browning on top of the stove as well as baking in the oven. This is a great pan to use all of the time and can be used to cook anything. It is a beautiful color, very well made and very good quality just like my Lodge enameled 6 qt. Dutch Oven that I use all the time for stews and chilies. The size is very convenient for two people. I don't think you can go wrong with this pan. Update: 05/05/2016.......I use this covered casserole all of the time, not only for casseroles, chili, soups, stews, etc., but also for bacon, eggs, sauteed foods, and a myriad of other tasks! Recently, i misjudged how much room I needed to add the potatoes on top of my shepherds pie. The results cooked over quite messily in my oven. This was the biggest test so far for my pan. I thought I was going to have to get my Scrub Daddy out and go to work on it! Wow, after soaking the empty pan in warm, soapy water for 5 minutes, it came out looking brand new! I am so impressed! Nothing I have cooked in this pan has stuck AND it cooks everything just great! Another benefit is that after baking in the oven, the pan keeps everything much hotter for a longer period of time! This is one fantastic pan!!!!
