Customer Review: Lodge 3 qt. Dutch oven
Summary: 4 Stars
MON 14JUL08
1) am not a professional food preparation person, nor am I exactly "chef material"--if you get my drift.
2) know what I like; own some Calphalon, Le Creuset, et al. "high-end" cookware.
3) like to compare/contrast/look around--from time-to-time, in re: new/other products.
4) Lodge appears to be a viable product.
5) the difference between a sharp knife & a dull one isn't much--in terms of metal, but is a lot in terms of efficacy. You pay a lot more for just a little more; but it's that "little more" than can achieve the results that you like so much.
With these thoughts, please proceed.
Rec'd Lodge 3 qt. enameled Dutch oven today. My "issue" is that the lid does not fit tightly--& that's by design--something no previous review indicated. The lid has three cast ~1/16" standoffs @ "noon", "4" & "8" which are designed to allow the hot cooking gases, vapors & liquids to escape freely, rather than build-up until enough pressure is generated to lift the cast-iron lid--or to "surprise" the lid-liftee; that is, unless the cook is tuned-in to what is happening, i.e. cooking, & actually tends to her/his business.
Personally, I want to have control over those things under my control. I do NOT want to be protected from myself. Le Creuset French (Dutch?) ovens have FLAT rims & recesses. Yes, just like on your car radiator, the temperature will increase w/ the pressure & it is easier to scorch & burn--but also faster to cook (as in a pressure cooker) when the interior pressure is elevated.
For me, a tight-fitting lid is what I want. Lodge has a higher-end line (maybe more than one). Not taking the time this yr. to purchase, use & review.
Oh yes, & BTW: Le Creuset does not make a 3 qt. enameled cast iron oven. No disrespect to Lodge, but it looks like I've talked myself into a Le Creuset purchase--again.
Description of Lodge Color 3-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red
This 3 Qt enamel Dutch oven is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing. The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. 9 3/4" diameter, 3" deep. Island SpiceDutch Ovens
