Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven 4.5 Qt Red EC4D43

The first delivery had a little flaw in the inside of the pot. I got a replacement quickly and it was perfect this time. Love it. The size is perfect for cooking.

Great Product, and great delivery experience with Prime. The color looks wonderful in any kitchen, and the size is perfect for a family of 2-4. It is quite heavy, but that is part of the charm of using a cast iron product. The enamel coating allows to cook almost anything including acidic foods, without worrying about damage to the cast Iron. Would recommend 10/10 times.

In loooove! I always wanted a dutch oven but always felt it is a bit too expensive… when i found this i thought this is it! Affordable, on sale and took my heart! I use it for sourdough bread so far yet cannot wait to cook other foods in it!

and baaaaaaang finally my sourdough springs so much better! very happy with my purchase!

Ì bought this Dutch oven because I wanted the particular size (6qt), and couldn't get it in my preferred brands. I've used Lodge cast iron in the past, but never this enameled variety. Since then, I've used it for bread, casseroles and braising meat and I see no difference with my items that are triple the price. While I still love the exclusive workmanship and history behind my brands, this hasn't let me down or shown any inferiority.

very good Dutch oven .. must be handled with care to avoid chipping the edges

The packing was super and quality is also great

Great product, excellent for slow cooking based cuisines . Easy to use and to maintain and adds soul to the cooked food

Well made.

すごくよいです。見た目や色もすてきです。お手入れも楽。 大きいので4～5人ぶん楽勝です。

Received the pot earlier than expected date. Very good condition and nice colour! Made a pot of pork stew!

I have been thinking about getting this oven for several years now and was always worried about the questionable quality that has been described in the review section. After contemplating it for that time, I decided that at less than $80 I would take a chance, especially considering the only other option in the enameled cast iron market that doesn't have a good amount of bad reviews is the LeCrusset and I wasn't going to spend $350 on that one. I received it double boxed; the original box inside an Amazon box. I carefully took the box apart and inspected it for any signs of bad enamel, whether it be from manufacturing to poor shipping and after looking at it found it free of any discernible defects. The enamel was perfect, the stainless steel handle tight, and everything looked perfect. The main reason I got this because I cannot used acidic foods in my cast iron as it tends to strip the carbon thereby ruining the very purpose for having cast iron in the first place. I also prefer cast iron dutch ovens over their aluminum or steel counterparts as they heat more evenly and tend to be less prone to burning the food at the bottom of the pot and therefore have easier clean up. The size is also a bonus; there aren't any recipes that I use that can't be swallowed up by this 7.5 QT pot. The first meal I cooked in this bad boy is a great goulash recipe that is a big hit with the family. Super rich and hearty and bursting with beef and tomato flavors; it puts a smile on everyone's face and is an easy weeknight recipe that is big enough to feed a family of four and still have leftovers. Every other pot I ever used was bursting it's edges as this is a big recipe, but the 7.5 Lodge swallowed it up with room to spare. After putting the leftovers away for another night I used my Lodge plastic scraper to get the small amount of food that was stuck to the bottom and then scrubbed it with soap and checked it for cleanliness. It still had a very light residue on the bottom that could barely be seen, so I took some baking soda and used that with a sponge and it came out perfectly clean just as if it had never been used. Since then I have cooked a few other dishes in it including homemade marinara and baked beans. Both dishes worked perfectly and it still looks brand new. I have high hopes that I won't run into issues with the enamel breaking down and will update at a later if and when it does, but assume this; if you don't hear back from me, then it's working perfectly. If you want a good, cheap alternative to the more expensive European enameled cast iron, this is your best bet. EDIT: Six months in and I'm still loving this thing. I have used it at least a a half dozen times for goulash, bean and ham soup, jambalaya, and more and it performs flawlessly and cleans up like new. Assuming you get it to your house without any shipping damage, you will be glad you got this thing.
