Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled cast iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light) on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob, the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, saute, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri

 NO LEAD IN THESE November 26, 2007

I called Lodge Mfg. They e-mailed me a report showing the testing that they have had done on their enamel coated cookware. All of their non enamel cookware is made here in the U.S. The enamel coated cookware is made in China but has been tested for lead content. That set my mind at ease and thought this review would help others too.

This Dutch oven is absolutely gorgeous! An incredible value in the world of enameled cast iron these days, I have a Le Creuset dutch oven that I love, but wanted another piece that was smaller and to be completely honest, wanted to to test one of Lodge's new enameled cast iron pieces that are more price friendly. I have other lodge pieces which I love and thought it was worth a try. I have to admit I was lured by the beautiful red color. Now that I have received it and see it, the picture does not do it justice! It is so pretty, but it cooks superbly like my other lodge pieces, but clean up is so much easier and I don't have to oil each time. I can also cook dishes that are acidic that I can't in the regular cast iron. You also can cook at almost half the normal temps in the oven because it retains the heat so well, which is great with the price of electricity and gas right now! I really think these are going to take off with their affordable prices on these. They have the Lodge name security backing them and hopefully they have not sold their name to produce these like a lot of other companies these days, but I doubt it. But for under $50 for a 6 quart dutch oven, it is worth a try! I am very happy and showing all my friends and family. Do give these a try!

I have been looking at enameled cast iron cookware and have not purchased one due to their prices. When I saw this one I was excited. I own a non-enamel lodge cast iron dutch oven and a frying pan and have been impressed with their quality. I have had them for several of my rookie cooking years and have not taken care of them in the way that cast iron cookware should be taken care of...cleaning pots immediately and not letting them "soak" and caring to oil them after being cleaned. I am from cajun country so buying a cast iron pot with an enamel coating seems like cheating, since you are supposed to be seasoning them with every meal and the pot should be better and better every time you use it, but I must have gone wrong somewhere along the way. The pots quality is excellent and it's finish is flawless. I have been very impressed with the meals that have come out of it so far. It is easier to clean up than regular cast iron and also the flavors don't seep into the pot. I cook a lot of different ethnicities of food so I don't want my thai food to have a slight cajun roux flavor just as I wouldn't want a gumbo or stew to have curried or ginger flavors. I love this pot my husband laughs at me because every meal, big or small, that I have cooked since I got this in the mail has come out of this pot. But I want to use it as much as I can, and the pretty red color is nice to look at as well. This has been a great purchase.

I, too, own Le Creuset (2 pieces). They are very expensive. Thought I would try the Lodge. Beautiful blue color that matches the Le Creuset. And did I mention the price. For two pieces I paid less than the price on one of the other ones. And it cooks beautifully! What more can one say?

A good dutch oven for the money. Not top of line, but very useful. Heavy, not for the weak handed. Enamel is staying in good shape with care.
