Lodge 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven - Poppy

This is a very nice dutch oven. Be warned it is HEAVY. I have had great success cooking with it and largely the clean up has been better than anticipated (I expected it to be really terrible to clean.) I really like the color. The heat distribution is excellent. I have had to reduce my bread baking time a bit because it is so efficient.

Bought this for making sourdough and it turned out perfectly. The coloring is beautiful and the price is great. The features are better than more expensive models. I watched a video comparing different models and this one was rated highly; from handles to knob on top and even cooking surface area. There were no flaws in the finish and it arrived super quick. You could leave it on the counter as it looks like fine art.

I couldn’t be happier with this Dutch oven from Lodge. The quality is outstanding — it feels solid and durable, and you can tell it’s built to last. The Sandalwood color is beautiful and looks great both on the stove and on the table. It heats evenly and retains heat incredibly well, which makes it perfect for bread baking, soups, stews, braising, and slow cooking. I’ve made homemade sourdough in it and the crust came out amazing thanks to the moisture-sealing lid. Everything cooks consistently without hot spots. The enamel interior is easy to clean and doesn’t require seasoning like traditional cast iron, which is a big plus. The dual handles make it easy to move (with oven mitts, of course), and the lid fits snugly to lock in flavor and moisture. For the price, this Dutch oven delivers exceptional performance and versatility. Highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking or wants to upgrade their kitchen essentials!

Impressed by the finish and its good quality. Price quality relation compared to priciest one on the market, great option.

I just bought this a few weeks ago and I've used it about ten times already. Its perfect for soups, beefaroni, chili, and one pot meals. So far, I've only used it on the stovetop but it's been a great addition to my kitchen and cleans up easily. It's so pretty and heavy I just let it sit on the stove. You won't regret buying this dutch oven.

Honestly, I'm leaving this review for the joke. I managed to ruin my last Dutch oven. Now that I know better, this one sits on my stove as a nice decoration and I even use it sometimes. I just love the dark green color. I'd probably use it more if it wasn't so heavy. It just makes cleaning it more of a chore. It's a beast and will be in my kitchen forever. I've made soups and sauces and even burned a few vegetables in it. It's more durable than my last one, no problems with chipping or rust as long as I dry it and use the rubber clips when it's not in use. It's a good value for the price IMO.

Lodge is a good brand and this Dutch oven is no exception. I love using it to make soup. It’s easy to use and easy to clean. I took one star off because I asked if an immersion blender can be used in it and the response was yes. Unfortunately, that’s untrue. I used an immersion blender in it today and it damaged the enamel finish. I’m a little heartbroken.

I absolutely love this thing. I use it all the time for big family dinners, and for making bread in the oven. it is nice and hefty, it retains the temperature very well with the solid lid. very easy to use and the non stick is amazing. I would definitely recommend this 10/10 you won[t be disappointed.

Well made.

Finally decided to get a Lodge to bake my sourdough bread. It’s great but very heavy as it’s a 6qt. Love the colour. Handles are just right size.

I have a cheap stove, so it's not easily possible to stew things at lower temperature with regular pots. The heat dissipates too quickly, so it just stops simmering. Not with this pot: It has amazing heat retention, so it has become indispensable since I bought it. It is extremely heavy though, which is to be expected by such a large mass of cast iron. Maybe it can double as a makeshift bomb shelter in a pinch. I guess any dutch oven has to measure up to Le Creuset, which I don't personally have any experience with. However, I can see that the Le Creuset costs at least twice as much on Amazon. I doubt that it can be twice as good because this pot is damn near perfect. At 6 liters, it is a bit too big for two people, but that's hardly Lodge's fault. Only disadvantage to me is that the lid edges are kind of rough so they feel like unglazed terra cotta. That means that putting the lid on, taking it off, or moving it makes a scraping sound which I personally hate more than nails on a chalkboard. Fortunately, the lid is very heavy as well so it's not like you move it around too much. I'm kind of blindly rating its taste though. I have not tried eating it because I find cast iron too hard to chew, but I have to assume it's delicious.

Finally bought a big enamel dutch oven that's affordable, well made and very good looking! I put 3 whole chicken leg (about 300gm each), 4 thighs (about 600gm), 4 chicken wings (about 600gm), 2 onions, and 4 packets of brown shimeiji mushrooms into the 6-quart dutch oven and baked them in an oven. The meat turned out really well. They were soft and juicy and the whole family loved it. The next time I cook this dish, I will experiment with shorter baking time & lower temperature.

Muy bonito
