## Description

Product Description Lodge Cast Iron Camp Dutch Ovens - the Cookware of the Outdoors! Whether you’re cooking food in the garden or at the campsite, Lodge’s collection of cast iron outdoor/camp Dutch ovens turn meal-times into an experience worth sharing. Available in a range of sizes that cater for a variety of needs, they will rise to the challenge of almost any recipe! At home directly over coals on their specifically-designed integral legs, or attached securely to an accompanying tripod, they are a must for anybody that revels in the delight of classic outdoor dining. About Lodge - 100 Years and Still Cooking Originally established by Joseph Lodge in 1896 - and with over 118 years of experience - Lodge is renowned for producing the finest cast iron cookware in the world. The family-owned company, based in South Pittsburg (Tennessee), is the only remaining manufacturer of cast iron cookware in the USA. The business has survived two World Wars and the Great Depression and continues to prosper today due to its legacy of quality and dedication to improving manufacturing methods. The Evolution of Lodge Lodge’s legendary foundry has undergone several notable upgrades as the company has grown. In order to respond to increasing demand, it was converted from a hand-pour operation to an automated moulding process in 1950. This led to safer and more efficient manufacturing procedures. In 1992, with an emphasis on conservation, Lodge’s coal-fired cupola furnaces were replaced by an electro-magnetic induction melting system. With consumer demand beginning to exceed foundry capacity, Lodge recently completed a comprehensive expansion of its facilities that cost in excess of 30 million dollars. This included new melting and sand systems, an additional moulding line and enhanced seasoning capabilities. These developments have increased capacity by almost 50% and have ensured that Lodge’s foundry is now the most technologically-advanced in the world. Why Cast Iron? Cast iron provides the finest heat distribution and retention of any cookware metal. The heat spreads rapidly and evenly across both the bottom and sides of the material and stays hot for a prolonged period of time. It is also extremely versatile and can be used to sear, fry, sauté, grill, roast, bake, braise and broil - both indoors or out. Cast iron will tolerate any heat source (except microwaves) and is therefore suitable for induction, ceramic, electric and gas cooktops. It will perform effortlessly in the oven, on the stove, in the grill and even on barbecues/campfires. The material is also brutally durable to the point of being almost indestructible. In fact, amazingly, some of the very first skillets, griddles and Dutch ovens, produced more than 100 years ago, are still being used in kitchens today! Why Lodge Cast Iron? Every shipment of iron that arrives at Lodge’s foundry passes through a stringent radiation detector. This ensures that no contaminants are able to enter the manufacturing process. Although standard procedure at Lodge, many other factories around the world do not follow this protocol and actually encourage the addition of secondary materials to the iron so that production quantity is maximised. Lodge’s privately-held metal formula and precision moulding systems are the result of the company’s continued dedication to improving quality - a process that began with the very first skillet that was ever made. Not even the most expensive stainless steel or aluminium cookware comes close to rivalling the heat distribution/retention, versatility, durability and value of Lodge cast iron. Its cooking performance ensures that it is an essential tool for both professional chefs and discerning home cooks. Seasoning - a Natural Coating that Improves with Use In 2002 Lodge introduced pre-seasoned cookware, known as the Lodge Logic range, into their ever-evolving assortment. This eliminated the requirement for seasoning prior to initial usage and ensured that Lodge cookware was ready to use as soon as it was removed from its packaging. At the time this was an industry first. It has since become standard practice. The Lodge seasoning procedure is a multiple-step process in which vegetable oil is applied via an electrostatic spray system that coats the cookware. It is then baked into the iron in commercial ovens at temperatures of 600 degrees Fahrenheit (315 degrees Celsius). This allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the pores of the iron and provides the easy-release properties that are equivalent to a natural non-stick surface. Crucially, this process eliminates the health concerns that are associated with chemical non-stick coatings. The foundry-based seasoning process is far superior to what can be achieved at home. The oil is more advanced, the spray system coats the cookware more uniformly and the oven temperature is substantially hotter. Independent tests have confirmed that it takes several years of regular home seasoning to equal the performance of that attained at the factory. That said, in addition to the pre-seasoning that occurs during production of Lodge’s cast iron cookware, the natural non-stick surface can actually be enhanced and repaired (if necessary) once it has been used. This capability, which isn’t evident in chemical-based coatings, means that Lodge products can be used on a regular basis for 100 years or more! The Lodge ‘Bubble’ Lodge cookware is hanging as it passes through the electrostatic sprayer and conveyer oven. As a result of this, a ‘bubble’ or ‘blister’ of oil may form at the southern-most point of the product and be initially visible when unpackaged for use. The ‘bubble/blister’ can be rubbed-off and will leave a brown spot directly underneath it. This is not rust - it is a seasoned spot that is indicative of the varnishing stage of the coating process. It will turn black with usage, as does home-seasoned iron when employed repeatedly. It is not the intention of Lodge to produce cookware that appears as if a non-stick coating has been applied to it. The black patina given to the products by the seasoning process is not paint, is not a synthetic polymer coating, nor is it enamel - all of which modify the valuable characteristics of cast iron. It is, in fact, vegetable oil that has been baked into the cookware. This is a functional application; it isn’t a cosmetic one. Care and Use Instructions - Follow these to Ensure that Your Lodge Cast Iron Lasts a Lifetime! Care 1) Hand wash and dry immediately - even before the very first use. 2) Allow your cookware to cool naturally prior to cleaning (plunging hot cast iron into water may cause damage). 3) Rub a small amount of vegetable oil into the product after every wash. Use just enough to restore the sheen, without it becoming ‘sticky’. This reinforces the natural seasoning and protects the cast iron from moisture (which can lead to rusting). Use 1) It is safe to use metal, wood or silicone utensils with your cookware. 2) Some foods (especially eggs) may stick to some degree during initial usage. It is advisable to employ extra oil or butter until the seasoning has built-up. 3) Acidic foods such as tomatoes, beans and certain sauces can damage the seasoning and should be avoided until the natural non-stick layer has matured. 4) Cast iron rarely needs to be placed on an above-medium heat setting if adequately pre-heated. On occasions when a higher cooking temperature is required, elevate the heat gradually and apply oil just prior to adding the food in order to prevent sticking. 5) Holders/mitts are essential when using the handles. Protect countertops with trivets. Cleaning - to Soap or not to Soap? Lodge cookware reaches 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) in 4 minutes on a medium heat setting and is sterile at 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius), so soap is often not necessary. However, if using it is preferred, wash with mild soapy water and dry immediately before adding oil. Dishwashers, strong detergents and metal scouring pads will remove seasoning, so are not recommended. How to Reverse Rusting Without protective seasoning, iron can rust. If this does occur, it can be easily fixed by scouring the rust, rinsing and drying the cookware, and then applying a small quantity of vegetable oil. If significant rusting is apparent then the cookware may need to be re-seasoned. Visit www.lodgemfg.com for specific directions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do I know what is the best sized oven for me?**
A: 12 inch is usually considered the standard size for dinners, but I guess if you were only cooking for two people the 10 inch would do fine.  We have several 12 inch that we use for dinners, and a 10 inch we cook dessert in.  We also have a large 14 inch for when we have a large group to cook for like a family gathering.  You can put a whole chicken into a 12 inch but just a few pieces of chicken into a 10 inch.  If you want to cook bread or rolls, you'll need the room of the 12 inch.  The beauty of the Dutch oven is you can stack them while cooking so you can use a 12 inch for the main course, another for dinner rolls, and top it off with a 10 inch for dessert.  Be careful not to confuse quart size with inches.  Lodge typically measures by size in inches, while Camp Chef ovens are deeper and measure by quarts.  I've noticed the deeper Camp Chefs take more coals to get the same cook times, but they do hold more food.  Lodge offers better quality, but Camp Chef includes a lid that can be flipped upside down and used as a griddle, which is handy if you'll be camping.  I like both brands.

**Q: Is Lodge Made in America?  Please tell me they didn't go to China.  Thank you.**
A: Lodge manufacturers all of their cast iron products here in the U.S., in Tennessee. The enameled Dutch ovens are made here but then sent to China for the enameled coating.

**Q: What is the right size? No more than 4 people camping but 8 or so for-party.  Bigger is better?**
A: The 8 quart dutch oven will supply you with plenty enough food for a party of 8 and camping with 4. I have had alot of large meals come out of my 8 quart oven. I also have two 12 quart dutch ovens and just 1 of the ovens will feed a small army. I have fed 3 familys ( 10 people ) at the same time with the 8 quart oven. I started out makeing my best meals with my old 8 quart. Hope this helps !!!

**Q: How much does it weigh?**
A: 20.75lbs This is for the whole pot and li combination.  Just weighed it on a scale.
