Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Caribbean Blue Review
I found this for .00 w/FS a month or so back. I have several cast iron pieces in my kitchen arsenal but this is my first enameled one.
The day I got it, I cooked up a Chicken Cacciatore recipe I've been toying with. It came out superb. I've both baked and stove top cooked a dozen or more times now. It keeps the heat for a long time and distributes very evenly throughout the pot. The enameled cast iron is a dream to work with. It browns nicely and deglazes with ease. Since it is fully coated, rust is a non-issue.
The only complaint is the knob. It is only rated to 350°, so I had to buy a Le Creuset Stainless Steel knob to cook at 400 and above. That is why it only rated four stars from me. The dutch oven is a definite must have for your kitchen and Lodge performs great.

Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Caribbean Blue Overview
This 6 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food.

What a Fabulous Knockoff! - Shoppingmaller - Wisconsin
I should have bought one of these years ago. Dollar for dollar, it's a great buy. I use it at least once a week - stews, soups, sauces. I hope to purchase the 3 qt. casserole size. I replaced the lid knob with a stainless steel Le Crueset knob () because I wanted to be able to bake bread in the Dutch oven and the OEM knob won't stand the heat. It cleans easily, just follow manufacturer's instructions. Staining from tomato sauce, soups cleans up in seconds with a little bleach solution and a sponge. With weekly use since Christmas, mine looks brand new.
It's Junk - D Shelton - Tucson AZ
We bought 2 of these pieces, based on reviews and on price, but they are already on their way back to Amazon -- because the enamel started to come off with the very first use! Furthermore, the claim that there is no bare cast iron around the rim of the pan appears to be untrue, because it rusted immediately. The lid, in fact, left a circular rust stain on my countertop. Despite the fact that Lodge constantly touts the fact that they are a US company and their wares Made in America, when you get the box you will find that all of their enamelware is actually made in China, which may be the problem. What a disappointment.
Wedding gift. - Margarita - Cajun Country
I bought this Dutch Oven as a wedding gift. I had priced the same item at their wedding registery and found it with you for less money. This is the exact pot that they were looking for. Lodge Cast Iron pots are the best, I have in the past bought other name brand cast iron and they do not come close the the Lodge name brand. For the price they are the best cast iron pots you can find.
