Lodge8.52 litre / 9 quart Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Dutch Oven / Casserole Dish (with Spiral Bail Handle), Black

I have become a convert to cast iron cookware and all my skillets have come from Lodge via Amazon. I wanted to venture further into out dooor cooking but didn't want to take my beautifully seasoned pots outside just yet, so i ordered a cheaper brand of pot again through Amazon from Big-BBQ. Unfortunately it did not survive the journey and became undeliverable according to the tracker. I contacted Amazon who explained the situation very patiently, refunded my payment and took an order for the Lodge 9 quart pot. That was Thursday evening. The following Saturday early morning my pot was delivered to my door. Now unboxed and sitting on my stove with its fellow pots and skillets. The thumbnail picture does not do it justice . It is reassuringly heavy and sits well over the *wok" ring. Looking forward now to cooking my first pot roast in it.High five stars to Amazon I cant thank them enough for turning a disappointment into a happy ending

Excellent but should be for the price, this will eventually pay us back ! Faultless Quality so I will enjoy long after I forget the price!

A pan for for life!

Very nice pot, a bit heavy thing, but quality is great. Thanks

Well made, excellent quality, far better than the Chinese made pots.

Simply the best cast iron.

9 Quarts. Nine. That's around twice what a normal enamel dutch oven holds, which average around 4 or 5.This thing is big enough to cook almost anything you want. It can replace an entire set of pots and pans for one-pot/one-pan meals. It's wide enough to use as a skillet, it's got enough capacity to use as a stock pot. It can be thrown in the oven or into hot coals. You can probably even use it like a griddle and put short handled pots or pans into it, though I haven't tried this. If you have enough space I don't doubt you could broil in this thing as well. I'm pretty sure it can fit a whole bird, so if you throw a trivet in you won't need a special purpose pan for the holidays either.But that also is a downside. It's big, it's heavy, you need a lot of space to clean it. If your sink is wide and deep enough, no problem. But if you have a small apartment sink? It can be a little tough. The actual methods and ease of cleaning is the same as any cast iron. And the handle is a great one with a wire bail for grip and (stovetop only) insulation.If you want to meal prep, this can do it. If you're cooking for a family, this will handle it. If you do potlucks, you'll make enough for everyone. With a large pot comes the ability to process large amounts of food, so if you're being frugal this can save effort as you're not having to cook in small batches.Anything bigger and you're outside the territory of a normal domestic kitchen, and into the realm of outdoor cooking or high end huge ovens.

Gran capacidad de cocción. Esta cosa te sobrevivira a ti, a tus hijos, tus nietos, visnietos, tataranietos, etc. Es hierro desnudo, es decir sin pintura ni nada para evitar el contacto con el oxigeno del aire. Se oxidaria facilmente de no ser por que ya viene curado, osea que tiene una capa de aceite que lo protege, pero cada vez que utilices este horno debes lavarlo solo con agua tibia, (no detergente porque le quitarias la capa de grasa que lo protege) secarlo y untarle otra capa de aceite para protegerlo mientras llega el siguiente uso.

Il prodotto in sé lo conosco ed è assolutamente di qualità. Il problema è che mi è arrivato con della ruggine su tutto il fondo, smalto rovinato anche all interno . Come se fosse stato conservato male in magazzino all umido. Il che lo ha reso inadeguato per un regalo. Restituito

Eigentlich war ich schon lange auf der Suche nach einem Ersatz für unseren Bräuer weil dieser nicht induktionsfähig ist. Leider hat mich kein Mitbewerber qualitativ überzeugen können. L🍳dge Pfannen habe ich schon länger ... leider haben die aber kein cast Iron Bräter im Portfolio... sonst wäre die Entscheidung gleich gefallen, nachdem ich die Qualität von Gusseisen Produkten des asiatischen Mitbewerbs erleben durfte ist es dieser Topf geworden... leider ein klein wenig kleiner als der ex bräter lang. Aber in Summe sollte er für die martinsgans reichen und für: Chili, Gulasch, ratatouille und Bolognese ist er perfekt. Nachdem ich als kleiner Bub schon die tolle Qualität von gusspfannen erleben durfte: L🍳dge bitte. Danke!

Amazing acquisition, super happy with this monstrous Dutch oven. Made Beef Stew which was finger licking good. Extremely well built, rugged and built to last a life time if easy to follow instructions are followed. Though its pre seasoned it is a good investment of time to season your case iron cookware 2-3 times or more before use. No soap, no scrubber but just use hand or nylon brush and hot water to clean after use and dry with a lint fee paper / cloth towel and heat it till it smokes and you are all set. Set for a lifetime of delightful cooking experience.
