Lodge 6 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven – Oven Safe to 500°F – Island Spice Red

About this item

• WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON. It is glass that becomes bonded to the cast iron at high temperatures. A particulate of glass, called frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400° F. The glass frit melts and fuses to the cast iron, forming a bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is heat tolerant and impervious to water and other consumables.
• THE IDEAL DUTCH OVEN: A perfect combination of style and performance that never stops. The Lodge Dutch Oven enhances the appearance of your kitchen and is a timeless enameled cast iron piece perfect for cooking and serving delicious meals. Cook, braise, bake, or roast your preferred dishes in the oven at temperatures up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
• EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior has a smooth finish that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization and resists staining. Although enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended to keep your Dutch Oven in tip top shape
• HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating throughout both the bottom and sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture for scrumptious pot roast, stews or a large batch of beans. Our heat retention also reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking.
