Lodge cast iron enamel Dutch oven

Well, here it is folks; the Lodge cast iron enamel Dutch oven all your “successful” and “grown-up” friends who don’t live with their stepdad’s basement keep talking about. In their defense, you really can do no wrong with a Dutch oven. Braised pork? Dutch oven it. Pasta? Dutch oven it. Pizza? Dutch oven it… unless you’re jonesing for that thin NYC-style crust – you’re gonna need one of these beauties. 

This six-quart enameled Dutch oven pairs form and function for a ridiculously easy cooking (or baking) experience that anyone – regardless of talent – can master. Made from heat and water-resistant porcelain enamel, this one-of-a-kind pot is crafted to withstand temperatures up to 500°F while promising superior heat retention and even heating. 

Saute, simmer, boil, or roast, or use it to marinate meat and refrigerate leftovers. The secret is a material called frit – a particulate of glass that’s applied to cast iron and superheated at temperatures between 1200 and 1400° F. The melted glass frit bonds to the cast iron, creating an impenetrable bond that’s impervious to heat. So, you know you’re gonna get some great searing outta this thing. 

With a kitchen tool of this magnitude, your only limitation is your imagination… and I guess fresh ingredients. 

Cook up something delicious when you bring home this Lodge cast iron enamel Dutch oven (Desert Sage) for $58.85 on Amazon.
