Amazon.com Product Description
The American-based company Lodge has been fine-tuning its construction of rugged, cast-iron cookware for more than a century. No other metal is as long-lasting and works as well for spreading and retaining heat evenly during cooking. Lodge's Logic line of cookware comes factory pre-seasoned with the company's vegetable oil formula, and is ready to use right out of the box.

At 12 inches in diameter and 4-3/4 inches deep, this 7-quart Dutch oven holds a heap of chili, chicken and rice, or fruit cobbler. This model is not the campfire style, with legs, wire handle, and a lid for coals. This one is flat-bottomed to sit on a stovetop burner or in the oven, with a domed lid that sends moisture back into the pot. It features a traditional wire ball handle that's been popular for over a century. While the Dutch oven comes pre-seasoned to prevent food from sticking, it works best when sprayed or lightly coated with vegetable oil before use. After the meal is done, simply scrub the cast iron with a stiff brush and hot water, no soap, and dry immediately. Lodge covers the sturdy oven with a lifetime limited warranty against defects, and when cared for properly, this virtually indestructible pan should last for generations.

Customer Reviews

Excellent
We wanted a dutch oven with a good lid so we could bake Mark Bitman's no-knead bread. This requires baking at high temperatures (450-500 degrees). After looking at options ranging as much as $250, we ordered this cast iron dutch oven. Out of the box it was cured pretty well, the lid fits nicely and the spiral handle is cleverly engineered. It works perfectly, and the price is right. It is quite heavy, but that's what holds all that heat.

Great pot!
I actually use it for baking more often than cooking soup. It does excellent job for both. I really like it a lot. We did not have chance to take it camping yet. It is $20 cheaper than the one without spiral handle, that is why picked this one. The spiral handle actually gives me convenience for cooking at home.

Crusty bread maker
This is back to the future. We purchased this Dutch Oven specifically to bake crusty bread and this works marvelously. The kettle is well made and best of all, it comes preseasoned, so no fear of getting this to work without the bread dough sticking in the kettle. Did I mention the great price?
