Amazon.com Product Description
Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention, but now the company offers another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. Lodge Logic cookware, such as this 5-quart Dutch oven, comes preseasoned with a proprietary vegetable oil formula and is ready for cooking right of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in the oven before use. The timesaving process allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the cast-iron surface, maintaining the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.

This Dutch oven measures 10-1/4 inches in diameter and 4 inches deep--an ideal size for most family recipes. Whether baking casseroles, enchiladas, pasta sauce, or a compact pot roast, the pan delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention is especially ideal for slow-cooking recipes that prize tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. In addition, the underside of the lid contains several self-basting tips that allow the condensed liquid to remoisten the food, keeping the contents from drying out. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. The company recommends hand washing the Dutch oven with a stiff brush and hot water. In addition, the pan carries a lifetime warranty.

Customer Reviews

Classic Dutch Oven
We have lots of cast and this is one of my favorites. I have to say that when I purchased this, I really wanted the one with just the loop handles but this one was cheaper at the time. Boy, am I glad that I got the one with the wire handle. It is one of my favorite features. Cast can be really heavy, especially when full with a pot of food and this handle is so nice just to grab out of the oven. 5 quart is a really good size for a family and Lodge quality is always top notch.

A dutch oven is a must for any kitchen and cast will last a lifetime. It is also the most healthy way to cook.

I can't believe I didn't buy this sooner
The Lodge dutch oven is a fantastic pan, I really cannot believe I have been cooking for 15 years without one. The lid fits perfectly, providing a leak-free covering for long-simmering stews. I was a bit skeptical about the pre-seasoning, but it was perfectly done, the pan was ready for use right out of the box, I just wiped it a bit in case there was any dust.

Because of its solid construction, it is a very heavy pan. I am glad that I did not buy the 7-quart, as it would have been too unwieldy once filled with food.

I was considering an enameled dutch oven by Le Creuset, but cannot see spending three times as much as the Lodge cast iron oven. Care must be taken to make sure that the pan is perfectly dry when put away to avoid rust, but such is the nature of all cast iron cookware, and is not specific to this item.

Lodge Logic Cast Iron Dutch Oven
We had been having a cool spell in sunny, Southern California and home cooked Beef Stew with a side of Cornbread sounded like a good hearty meal for our cool nights. I purchased this Dutch Oven with that in mind. The Dutch Oven cooked our meal like a dream and cleanup was a snap no stuck on food. The handle on the dutch oven made it nice and convenient when we moved it to our table from the stove. I recommend this product highly. We give it a 10!
