Cajun Cookware Cast Iron Dutch Oven - 4.5 Qt. Review

Wish I had this years ago. This pot is super. Like all cast iron cookware, it is hard to burn something (if you use medium or low heat) because the heat dissipates so evenly, it imparts a great flavor, is easy to clean, and keeps food warm long after removing from the heat.

You can brown, simmer, and bake all in the same pot.Here is an example.

Today I made a "pot pie casserole."I browned chicken pieces in olive oil, added cream of chicken soup, frozen veggies, and simmered. Then I covered with Bisquick dough and baked to form a crust-- all in the same pot.

I took it out of the oven, my wife joined me 20 minutes later (and the food was still piping hot), all in one pot. Then an easy clean up, heat on the flame, turn off, spray with cooking, and it is ready to go for next time.

Great flavor for making spaghetti sauce, etc.

Note: when you receive it, wash in dish water, heat, add and brush with cooking oil (olive, canola, etc) and let get real hot over medium heat for three minutes.Turn off and it is "seasoned." Clean with hot water alone (when you can), put on heat, when good and hot, turn off and spray with cooking spray or oil.This is the original "no stick" cookware!

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 9-Quart Dutch Oven with Iron Cover Review

Great Pot. Works great in many different applications. Can use it to cook in the oven, smoker, stove top, fireplace or over open flame.
Built to last. I give a light coat of Veg Oil after every use. Do not cover pot while not in use. Keep pot and cover vented. Moisture will stay inside a covered pot and start to rust the metal.

Lodge Logic 7-Quart Dutch Oven with Spiral Handle Bail and Iron Cover Review

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.

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.

Lodge Logic Dutch Oven with Loop Handles Review

When I saw the price,free shipping, and factory pre-seasoning, this dutch oven proved irresistable. The size is great and the black color was attractive.Sadly, the factory pre-seasoning did not meet expectations! I learned to cook using cast iron, and I still own several "original finish" cast iron skillets, griddles and specialty pans (tri-ply stainless steel is wonderful, but some things just cook more evenly with cast iron). While cast iron is not difficult to season,it was just an added bonus to order a dutch oven that I thought would have an even, well applied finish to begin the seasoning process (properly seasoned cast iron pans only get better over the years). When the dutch oven arrived, I was surprised by what seemed to be a discoloration under the finish on the inner surface of the pot lid. I used the dutch oven for the first time to make chili. The steam from the chili caused the "pre-seasoning" on the inner surface of the lid to mottle badly, and the area that had initially appeared discolored was revealed to be covered withrust. A tell-tale metallic smell was also present (usually a sign that your pan might need to be seasoned again). Needless to say, I was disapointed. This pan proved to be MORE effort than the original finish pans since I had to scrub down the lid to remove the remainingmottled pre-seasoning, and to remove the rust. I then just seasoned the lid properly the old-fashion way in my oven. All in all, the Dutch oven is well worth $25 (and the saved $12.66 in shipping charges is also appreciated), but the Lodge Cast Iron Manufacturing Co. has a reputation for quality that this finish did not meet.I contacted the company to express my concerns (ie, did I need to take additional steps to remove all of the factory applied finish) and to ask if this problem was evident in other pans in the pre-seasoned line.The Lodge Co. has not responded to my email. Bottom line, before paying full price plus shipping, for anything in the pre-seasoned line, I would compare the cost to the original finish, or to the beautiful new Lodge enamel cast iron items.
