Description

This 3 Qt enamel covered casserole 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. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 11 3/4" diameter, 2 1/8" deep. Caribbean Blue

Great dish!
Busy Mother Wife and Nurse

This pot is beautiful! The blue is vibrant. This is my third enamel cast iron piece and I just love how they brown meat perfectly and clean up great. I can brown 5 chicken breasts at once in this pot, it also reduces liquids quickly. This dish is built to last... heavy, sturdy construction. I will have it for my lifetime and I have no doubt that my children or even grandchildren will use it too!

Love this Casserole

I have this casserole in the cafe color. When I ordered it, I wasn't certain I would like the color, but truthfully, I believe I prefer the more neutral color over the brighter colors. I have yet to use it in the oven 'cause I haven't had it long enough but it doubles nicely as a fry pan. I have fried chicken in it & country style steak with gravy with great results. My cooktop is the kind with cast iron burners, slow but easy on maintenance. Surprisely, this pan is so easy to clean & no worry about ruining the seasoning of the pan or eating non-stick coating. You have to wonder about cooking with non-stick when the manufacturers of non-stick cookware instructions tell you that cooking with it could be fatal to pet birds' respiratory systems.It would be nice if Lodge made a 2 qt. enameled sauce pan 'cause I'd buy one in a flash. I also own a cheaper brand 3-1/2 quart Dutch oven & rice cooks wonderfully in it, and again, it's easy to clean.I now have on order the Lodge 7 qt. kiwi enamel Dutch oven (my husband doesn't know yet) & I can't wait to prepare some homemade veggie soup in it as well as other meals in the oven.Had I known how wonderful Lodge enamel cast iron is, I wouldn't have a kitchen full of stainless cookware that's hardly used. My suggestion is don't make the mistakes I've previously made buying cookware sets - buy individual pieces you know are quality & pieces you know you will use.

Better than mario batali's

I have had this exact casserole for about a yr and a half now, maybe longer. I love it. I did not get it at amazon, but paid a similar price at a kitchen collection store (the kind you find at outlet malls), go there if you would like to see this collection IRL. The picture does not do this lodge series justice. I think that they are actually prettier than the le crueset version! It is a very deep and rich color, not like the bright tomato color from my computer monitor.It cleans up beautifully, I have not had any issues with any staining. The outside is in perfect shape and looks brand new. I use it on a gas stove and store it in my oven. I use this casserole as a skillet about 75% of the time, but also use it in the oven as a casserole as needed. I figured that there is NO way I could pick up a cast iron skillet with the single handle, so why not save myself storage space by getting something that is basically the same size and depth, but allows me to carry it with both hands in a more safe way. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone looking into enameled cast iron. I *almost* bought a le creuset, but am glad I did not waste the $ and took a chance. I know this pot will probably outlast any of my other pots and pans. Oh, and I have the mario batali dutch oven, the quality and finish of the lodge is MUCH better than the mario batali. Had I known it would have been such a drastic difference, I would have saved $ and gotten the lodge version of the dutch oven, which would have at least matched my beautiful casserole. Oh, a quick cleaning tip, sprinkling some baking soda into the enameled cookware works like magic to get any discolorations or any difficult foods off.
