## Description

Lodge Logic Dutch Oven with Spiral Loop Handle Even, Gentle HeatingThe Lodge Traditional Dutch Oven with Wire Bail handle has been popular for over a century, and is perfect for camp and hearth cooking. The Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven is a multi-functional cookware that works wonders with slow-cooking recipes. It comes with a tight-fitting lid that helps lock in nutrition and flavor. This pre-seasoned Dutch Oven works like a charm right out of the box. Made of cast iron, this Dutch Oven evenly distributes heat from the bottom through the sidewalls. Also, it retains heat better so your delicious meal remains warm for a long time. Sporting a stylish black color, the cast iron Dutch Oven looks good in most kitchens and it doubles up as an excellent source of nutritional iron. It features loop handles for convenient handling and the oven is easy to clean and maintain. A simple Cast-Iron Dutch Oven, like the one your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface, without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. Many of the pieces of cast iron cookware made in the Lodge Foundry over a century ago remain in use today. Cast-Iron LidFeatures: Made of cast ironPre-seasoned and ready-to-useMulti-functional cookwareVirtual Non-stick surfaceWorks with induction stove topsBrutally tough for decades of cookingWire bale handleEasy to clean: hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil Detailed Highlights: Multi-Functional Cookware The right tool for searing, sauteing, simmering, braising, baking, roasting, and frying. Made of Cast-Iron Cast-Iron is a form of cookware developed over a millennia ago remains as popular today as when it was used to prepare meals hundreds of years ago. Cast Iron is one of only two metals compatible with induction stovetops. Unparalleled in heat retention and even heating. Can Be Used With A Variety of Heat Sources At home in the oven, on the stove, on the grill or over the campfire. Skillet may be used on various heat sources including gas, electric, induction and ceramic-glass top stoves and ovens. When using on glass stove tops, be careful not to slide the cookware around as it's possible to scratch the surface. Seasoned cast iron can also be used on the grill or outdoor fire and coals for camp cooking. Begin heating cookware on low and slowly bring heat up to medium or medium/high. Always remove cookware from the stovetop after cooking. Pre-Seasoned Seasoned for a natural, easy-release finish that improves with use. Seasoning is a necessary step in using cast iron cookware. Oil is baked into the pores of the iron at the foundry to prevent rusting and to eventually provide a natural, non-stick cooking surface. Unlike synthetically coated cookware, it is possible to restore the cooking surface of cast iron. Lodge uses a proprietary soy-based vegetable oil to season our cookware. The oil contains no animal fat or peanut oil. The seasoning is functional application and slight inconsistencies may appear in the seasoning finish. The inconsistencies will not affect cooking performance. Easy to Care for Hand wash, dry, rub with cooking oil. It is very important to replenish the seasoning of your cast iron cookware by applying a thin layer of oil after each cleaning. Seasoning is an on-going process. The more you use cast iron, the seasoning is improved. Using Your Lodge Cast Iron Rinse with hot water (do not use soap), and dry thoroughly. Before cooking, apply vegetable oil to the cooking surface of your pan and pre-heat the pan slowly (always start on low heat, increasing the temperature slowly). Once the utensil is properly pre-heated, you are ready to cook. TIP: Avoid cooking very cold food in the pan, as this can promote sticking. PLEASE REMEMBER: Handles will become very hot in the oven, and on the stovetop. Always use an oven mitt to prevent burns when removing pans from oven or stovetop. Care and Cleaning of your Lodge Cast Iron After cooking, clean utensil with a stiff nylon brush and hot water. Using soap is not recommended, and harsh detergents should never be used. (Avoid putting a hot utensil into cold water. Thermal shock can occur causing the metal to warp or crack). If you are having trouble removing stuck-on food, boil some water in your pan for a few minutes to loosen residue, making it easier to remove. Towel dry immediately and apply a light coating of oil to the utensil while it is still warm. TIP: Do not let your cast iron air dry, as this can promote rust. Store in a cool, dry place. If you have a cover, or lid, for your utensil, place a folded paper towel in between lid and utensil allowing air to circulate. This prevents moisture from collecting inside the utensil, which can cause rust. TIP: The oven is a great place to store your cast iron; just remember to remove it before turning on the oven. NEVER wash in dishwasher. If for some reason your utensil develops a metallic smell or taste, or perhaps rust spots (maybe a well-meaning relative washed your utensil in the dishwasher or with soap thinking they were being helpful), never fear. Simply scour off the rust using a very fine grade of sandpaper or steel wool and refer to our section on re-seasoning. Re-Seasoning your Lodge Cast Iron While maintaining the seasoning should keep your Cast Iron in good condition, at some point you may need to repeat the seasoning process. If food sticks to the surface, or you notice a dull, gray color, repeat the seasoning process: Wash the cookware with hot, soapy water and a stiff brush. (It is okay to use soap this time because you are preparing to re-season the cookware). Rinse and dry completely. Apply a thin, even coating of MELTED solid vegetable shortening (or cooking oil of your choice) to the cookware (inside and out). Place aluminum foil on the bottom rack of the oven to catch any dripping. Set oven temperature to 350 � 400 degrees F. Place cookware upside down on the top rack of the oven. Bake the cookware for at least one hour. After the hour, turn the oven off and let the cookware cool in the oven. Store the cookware uncovered, in a dry place when cooled. Why should I choose Lodge cookware over other brands? For over 112 years, Lodge has provided quality cast iron cookware and accessories, with a broad and innovative assortment. Our continued commitment to quality enables Lodge to offer a superior product line. How is the diameter measurement of Lodge Cookware determined? We measure from outside rim to outside rim across the top of the cookware, not the bottom. What type utensils are recommended to be used with Lodge products? We recommend using wood or silicone utensils to avoid scratching. Why should soap or detergent not be used to clean cast iron cookware? Soap and detergent are used to break down and remove oils. Since the seasoning of your cast iron consists of oil, cleaning with soap will strip or remove the seasoning from cookware. Are there any types of food that are not recommended to be cooked in cast iron cookware? Foods which are very acidic (i.e. beans, tomatoes, citrus juices, etc.) should not be cooked in a cast iron utensil until the cookware is highly seasoned. The high acidity of these foods will strip the seasoning and result in discoloration and metallic tasting food. Wait until cast iron is better seasoned to cook these types of foods. Lodge is a Green Foundry: Lodge is a zero hazardous waste stream foundry. Lodge designed a vegetable oil recycler for the seasoning process to reduce waste and unusable oil is recycled and used as biodiesel generator. Lodge uses recycled and biodegradable packing materials. Reuse of foundry sand used in the casting process is recycled and unusable sand, working to purify the water of the local streams and planting trees to improve air quality and beautification. Lodge History: Lodge is the oldest family-owned cookware foundry in America. Since 1896, the Lodge family has been casting premium iron cookware at their Tennessee foundry. Starting with raw materials and finishing with their seasoning process, they continue to improve on the highest quality standards that go into every piece we make. As the sole American manufacturer of cast iron cookware, they are proud to carry on the legacy started by founder Joseph Lodge. Lodge doesn't just make cast iron; they make heirlooms that bring people together for generations.

Review: Wanted this for about 6 months. desertcart had an open box deal for $42. SCORE!!! - I'm thrilled with this purchase. I purchased a 5qt Lodge Dutch Oven which I love. But, I wanted something that would fit a large roast or meal because I like cooking for my whole family. Even if it's just the two of us, I like cooking extra so I can freeze some. I've been looking specifically at this pan & wanted to buy it when the price was around $60. But, I needed other things at the time. This was a want, not a necessity. Then the price started going up to over $70. I found this offered by desertcart for $42 because the original packaging was damaged. But, the pan is brand new. It arrived & the Lodge box was in one piece but had been taped in several places. The pan was in perfect condition. I took the chance because desertcart would take the pan back if I wasn't happy with it. The pan is well made as are my other Lodge pans. I like using this brand because it is made in the US & I don't have to worry about questionable metals being used. The handle really makes it easy to lift the cover. I'm still getting used to cooking with cast iron. But, having this size pan will make it possible to cook larger items or large one pan meals. The pan is quite heavy. I'm 60 yrs old, female, & not in the best shape of my life right now. But, I can still lift the pan to use it. Of course, it will be even heavier when full. Still, I'm sure I'll be able to lift it. Just be aware that if you don't have arm strength, you might find this a bit difficult to maneuver. That said, it'll be worth it. I cooked fried chicken in it the other day. My chicken came out perfect & the pan cleaned up in a breeze. I've slowly been purchasing different Lodge cast iron pans as I have found that many things I cook come out better in the cast iron pans. Also, even though the pans are preseasoned, I season them 2 more times just to be safe. Foods rarely stick to the pans. When they do, I use the small scraper & brush that come in the Lodge Seasoned Cast Iron Care Kit Red Hot Handle Holder. I also use a cast iron chainmail cleaner. The pans are so much easier to clean than my expensive hard anodized nonstick Circulon pans or my stainless steel pans w/ copper bottoms. My daughter, son-in-law, & 2 grandkids love to go camping. They love using cast iron to cook over a campfire. My son-in-law was amazed at the price I paid for this pan on desertcart. It retails on the Lodge website for $120. Guess I'll watch for another bargain price on this & buy one as a Christmas gift for them.
Review: PERFECT - Just love this cast iron dutch oven! I received stainless steel cookware as a wedding gift years ago, added various other pots, pans you name it over the last forty years...but my cast iron experience was limited to a small fry pan that I used to fry taco shells...but for some reason I never used cast iron other than a few LeCreuset pieces (an au gratin pan, large fry pan, huge dutch oven)which of course have a porcelain finish and after years and years of use the porcelain was wearing thin. My daughter, also a foodie, raved about cast iron, but really I thought maybe she just liked it because it didn't require "cleaning" on the other hand my Mother had been totally compulsive about her Lo-Heat stainless and cleaned it with KleenKing after every use for 60 years...it still looked like new but what a hassle! I'm an inveterate fan of dishwashers and yet just rinsing out a pan after using it and putting on the stove to dry sounded "iffy"...I knew I'd end up throwing it in the dishwasher and endlessly re-seasoning and watching it rust. Incidentally I did do that every time I used the small cast iron fry pan that I've fried thousands of taco shells in but hey, it worked, never rusted and has a lovely patina but then again I'd never used it for anything other than putting corn oil in it and frying corn tortillas...it was re-seasoned every time I used it! So while throwing it into the dishwasher was my "guilty secret". My 90 plus year old Mother passed away two years ago and while I kept her stainless for sentimental reasons, I re-discovered her 70+ year old collection of cast iron the source of countless roasts, fried chicken, stews and hamburgers. These pans were fantastic (of course they'd had 70 years of seasoning and love) after trying these cast iron "beauties" and discovering they were great...and no big deal to clean, I decided when I needed a new wok to try a cast iron wok...worked GREAT! Then I had a great recipe for no-knead bread and really thought I should try this dutch oven again just GREAT. I don't throw them into the dishwasher but I do gently swish them in a little mild dish soap, rinse them, dry them by putting them over a low flame on the stove to dry and "shine them" with a tiny film of oil and I mean really just the least amount possible it needs to disappear leaving nothing behind but the shine. So if you are looking at a relatively inexpensive pot that can become a cherished heirloom, is virtually indestructible, tolerates high temperature both oven and stove top and, while heavy, does a super job with very little effort I'd definitely recommend one of these healthy cast iron beauties.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can the wire bail handle be removed from the lid?**
A: The wire bail is not connected to the lid but to the Dutch oven itself

**Q: Is the 13 1/4 inch a top or bottom of pot measurement?  I need to know measurement across diameter of BOTTOM of pot.**
A: That is external top diameter, not counting wing handles or lip tab on one side.  Outside bottom is approximately 11 inches in diameter.  (Slightly rounded edges. :))

**Q: Can a whole chicken fit in it?**
A: Yes this is an excellent vessel for ANYTHING that fits. Until you become accustomed to it size, try a medium size chicken first. I love this unit.

**Q: can this pot be used in a capfire - directly on the coals? Would oven with legs be bettet for this?**
A: Ys this can be put directly on the coals of a fire.  The dutch ovens with legs and flat, rimmed tops are made specifically for use in fire pits.  Remember to cook in the coals and place some of the coals on top, that what the rim is for.  This model will work if you have a couple of bricks in the fire to give it stability.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Old world quality.
*by M***N on November 28, 2025*

Wonderful old time quality. Use it for making chili and soups. Great for placing on my pellet grill giving the chili that wonderful smoke aroma and flavor. While it comes pre seasoned we followed their instructions for seasoning the Dutch oven in the oven at 400 degrees and now it’s protected and a thing of beauty. Easy to clean after every use. Can’t wait to try it over a camp fire.
