If you are looking for a Dutch Oven at an affordable price then you should definitely take a look at the Lodge Enameled Cast Iron 6 Quart Dutch Oven
.
Lodge have been in business for over 100 years and are a respected American cast iron cookware company so you know you are buying quality from a manufacturer knows the business. It must also be noted that all of their non-enamel cookware is made in the United States and their enamel coated cookware is made in China.
So while you are customers purchasing this
- one of the problems with cast iron is that you have to season it great thing about the lodge color enamel cast-iron Dutch Oven is you do not need to season it.
- It has actually been treated using porcelain which helps to make it chip resistant
- It is very reasonably priced compared to others.

This is an ideal Dutch Oven for any kitchen and could be used over and over again for cooking. A friend of mine was using one of these a couple of weeks ago and I must say I was quite impressed. I’m the only problems (even if it is a problem) is because it is made from cast-iron its quite heavy.
Overall this is a super product and definitely offers good value for money. Reading some of the reviews over at Amazon some customers who have purchased other products and compare this one think it is probably the best value.

If you are considering buying a bunch of them there are a number of things you need to do to ensure that you make the right choice. Of course you’re going to have two spend time doing a little research, which to be honest is not a bad thing really.
You need to ensure that the oven handle the host any in that it is securely attached to the molded ears as you’ll see on the side of the. If possible try and avoid any oven that have riveted on ears because over time these could become a little weak and can’t possibly be dangerous. You’ll notice as you shop around at some handles lay down flat, you really want to try and avoid these types as you want to look for a handle that will stand at 45 degrees. This is to ensure that it is safe to pick up when needed.
1) if you’re considering using this already, for you must ensure that it has legs. They need to belong in a so it’s not touching the coal and that air can get on the need to keep the fire going.
2) if you are going to be using it at home you don’t have to worry about legs so you’ll need one with a flat bottom.
3) check that the lid fits correctly, you need to make sure that it lie’s flush with the lid off the oven all the way around and that you can see no significant gaps.
