4.5 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid – Caribbean Blue

This 4.5-Quart enamel Dutch oven is perfect for cooking, marinating, refrigeration, and freezing. The porcelain enamel on cast iron not only looks great but is also versatile, suitable for use on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. However, it is not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open flames, nor is it safe for use in microwaves.

Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel cookware is crafted by casting molten iron into individual sand molds, creating a durable and reliable product. The enamel surface eliminates the need for seasoning, while the cast iron material provides superior heat distribution and retention, ensuring even heating throughout. The tight-fitting lid seals in moisture, reducing the energy needed for cooking.

The pot features two layers of chip-resistant, easy-to-clean porcelain enamel in a sleek black finish. The stainless steel lid knob is oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, adding to the cookware's versatility. The matte porcelain rim on the pot is hygienic and non-reactive with food, ensuring a safe cooking experience.

The Lodge Dutch oven is your go-to choice for all your cooking needs, offering a flawless combination of form and function. Whether you're broiling, braising, baking, or roasting, this enameled cast iron classic can handle it all, up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit in the oven.

The porcelain enamel on cast iron is created by bonding glass to the cast iron at high temperatures, resulting in a heat-tolerant and water-resistant finish. The smooth interior minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists staining. While dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended for maintaining the Dutch oven's pristine appearance.

With superior heat distribution and retention, the Lodge Dutch oven ensures even heating throughout, from the bottom to the sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture, perfect for delicious pot roasts, stews, or beans. Plus, the excellent heat retention reduces energy consumption during cooking.
