Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

“most used tool in my kitchen”

“I have yet to hear a good case made for why I should spend a cent more than a Lodge when it comes to my Dutch oven. Not because she isn’t one of the most important things in my kitchen, but because she works perfectly as is! Le Creuset and Staub are cute enough but what really are they doing that Miss Lodge isn’t for all that extra money? Nothing as far as I can tell! Lodge forever for me :’)”

“You don’t need an expensive dutch oven. I’ve had this exact one for 8 years and she’s still going strong. When it’s colder out, I’m using her 2-3 x per week. I make a lot of beans and curries but I’ve also used her to make a Hannukah brisket. If you have kids or you like to meal prep, I definitely recommend the 6 qt size.”

“I repeat …you do not need an expensive Dutch oven. I have her in blue and she is great.”

“I bought one of these back in 2013 and I still use it almost everyday in 2026. If you need an affordable and durable alternative for an enamel Dutch oven Lodge is the absolute way to go. I have braised, I have baked, I have made endless soups, and gravies in this Dutch oven.”

“bake bread. make a stew. keep it forever.”
