Lodge Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid - Oven-Safe Enamel Cookware up to 500° F - Heat-Retaining Braising & Roasting Pot - Non-Toxic Cookware - 7.5 Quart, Island Spice Red

This cooking pot is so amazing! First off the color is beautiful! It is solid and the perfect size for soups, roasts and sourdoughs! The heat capacity is tried and true to the Lodge brand. It holds heat so well. The inside is better than a cast iron in that it is so much easier to clean because it is enamel! This product is so easy to use and comes with instructions but I did not need to read them. I have already made a roast and it came out perfect. It goes so well from stove top to oven so seamlessly! I am still in the newness but I expect it to season well over time although it is coated in enamel. For my roast I used a little bit of olive oil and there was no stickiness at all! A+ highly recommend!

PROS: Well-made cast iron pot from the USA; excellent quality; versatile use: generous size for baking and stewing; bright colors, beautiful cookware that will last; easy to clean; follow instructions for care - easy; great warranty. CONS: pricey but I would wait for it to go on sale

I gnashed my teeth trying to decide whether to go with the Lodge or that (much) more expensive French option. In the end, I am glad I went with the Lodge. The only downside to the Lodge is that it is somewhat heavier than the more expensive option. I don't really see that as an issue for this type of pot. I'm very satisfied with the quality of the item and the 7.5 qt size is ideal for my use.

Absolutely beautiful coloring, the pictures don't do it justice, very beautiful blue. Also very heavy, and durable. Exactly what I was looking for! It was packaged EXTREMELY well for shipping, no chance of the enamel getting damaged.

Very impressive. As a La Creuset user, this is my first Lodge and I have to say I am very impressed at the fit and finish and how well this cooks and it really retains heat well.

I received my 7.5 quart LODGE Dutch Oven today! The color was true to the photo, it is constructed from heavy cast iron, and has a porcelain enamel interior finish that should make it almost non-stick. All the surfaces were coated with baked on enamel which should also make it rust free (except for the edges of the pan--but you should treat them with cooking oil anyway). It will be very durable and we should enjoy many stews, breads, or anything else that be made in one big pan like this Dutch Oven. The best "plus" for this item was the cost. It was easily 1/4 the price of the "high end" competitor but the same quality!!!!

I’m very impressed with this Dutch oven; it’s aesthetically pleasing, incredibly easy to clean, and produces excellent results. My only critique is the weight—it’s quite heavy on its own, and once filled with food, it becomes significantly more difficult to maneuver

Like it a lot. Nice color and weight. Not bad at all especially for the price

External paint has clear scratch around 5 to 10 cm area patch adjacent to handles

First time ordered, had a chip. Company quickly sent a replacement. New one has been great to cook in. Holds heat well. Some enamel has come off the bottom but that hopefully will be fine, just wear and tear of electrical elements on stove.

This is a good quality cast iron Dutch oven. Easy to clean, however, it's very heavy so a bit hard to handle. Overall, I'm super pleased and would buy it again.

Came with small chip

We have a 7 quart, but for us older people it is a little heavy should have got the five quart.. it is good if not better than some of the products twice the price.
