Product Description

This 3 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. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 9 3/4" diameter, 3" deep. Caribbean Blue

Customer Reviews

Great customer service
I'm giving Lodge a 5 star rating because of their customer service.The pot I received had some pin holes inside the pot,and developed a small chip outside on the rim after 1 use. I also bought the 6qt.dutch oven as well and that was in perfect condition. Lodge promptly sent me a UPS label and gave me a new one.These pots are quality,heavy duty pieces and I'm glad I went with a reputable company like Lodge.For the price and their grantee you can't go wrong.

Nice!
We have the 6 quart dutch oven, the fry pan and this. Be warned, this has a smaller diameter than the Lodge Enamel-on-Cast-Iron 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Caribbean Blue or the Lodge Enamel on Cast Iron 11 Inch Skillet, Caribbean Blue so the lids aren't interchangeable (the 6 quart lid fits the skillet).

Very useful though. It is smooth enamel inside and out, unlike the skillet, so is more useful and even easier to clean up. Still a total tank like the other pieces, not cookware for your 85 year old grandma (unless she lifts weights, heavy ones!). A bargain and again, use the free super saver shipping. It will save you some serious bucks.

Best Dutch oven ever and a great value!
Not only is this dutch oven pleasing to the eye and can actually go from the oven to the dining table; it does a wonderful job with braising. And, it is a great size for cooking for two people. I have another dutch oven (Calaphon) and I don't think it cooks as evenly as this pan. And, because it is enameled, it is a breeze to clean. Definitely worth the money; I will be buying the larger pot.
