Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Color 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red
Customer Review: Good price but still not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had this pot for over a year. It cooks well but my biggest complaint is that it stained from the get go and only continues to stain more and more on the interior. I think it is unsightly. Tonight when I used it I was taking off the lid and accidently tapped the lid to the pot and a chunk of the red enamel on the outside of the lid broke off. That was the last straw for me. I am throwing this pot away. I ordered a Staub to replace it because it was a little better priced than a Le Creuset. To me it makes more sense to spend a couple hundred dollars on a pot I will have a lifetime than a $50 on a pot I will keep a year. I am surprised by all the great reviews for this pot. The reviews were why I chose it. But beware - all of the lesser priced pots are made in China.Customer Review: Affordable Dutch Oven
Summary: 5 Stars
This Dutch Oven is the greatest! I have been looking for one quite a while but refused to pay over $100 which is normaly the price for a good Dutch Oven. American's Test Kitchen rated this lodge Dutch oven just as good as the expensive French model that goes for over $200.
Amazon offered free shipping and a sale price of $35 so I gave it a try. This Dutch Oven is wonderful! I have made Pot Roast, chilli, stew, and a pot of pasta sauce. Everything browns so nice and the lid fits tightly. It is very heavy but do not let that stop you from purchasing this pot. You will love it and can not go wrong.

Customer Review: About My Lodge Color Enameled 6-Qt. Dutch Oven
Summary: 5 Stars
Love my new Cast Iron Dutch oven. Having bought the Dutch oven to make "No knead Bread", I soon discovered that I am using it frequently for other things such as pot roast and sauces.
The Dutch oven heats very evenly; is usuable on the stove top as well as the oven; cleans up lickety-split and is pretty to boot.
I own Le Creuset which is wonderful. However, Lodge is significantly cheaper and, in my view, just as good as the more expensive cast iron.
By the way, when the shipment arrived the lid and pan were separated by little black bumpers which I kept so that the lid and pan would continue to be protected in storage. Just remember to remove the bumpers when the Dutch oven is in use.

I received this item in record time, just before Thanksgiving...Thank You!
I cooked Artisan bread in the dutch oven but I first coated it with vegetable oil as per the recipe, DO NOT DO THIS. I had a very hard time cleaning the pot, I had to use baking soda and a soft scrub pad (nothing else worked). I was very lucky that it did not scratch the finish and I was able to clean it as if it was brand new. I do not think it needs the vegetable oil since I cooked another loaf and did not use the oil and the bread came out perfect.
This is a very beautiful pot and not too heavy at all, I leave it on my stove since it looks so nice and gives my kitchen a splash of color. The price on this pot is GREAT!
Customer Review: Sturdy and long lasting.
Summary: 5 Stars
I would have to say that Lodge makes great piece of kitchen equipment. I cooked my first meal just a few days ago, German Rouladen. It browned them nicely and simmered even better. The best I have ever made. Everyone complimented the dish. The only down side it that I will have to start cooking more Rouladen for the folks who enjoyed it, they now want more. I will echo the only negative is that I too purchased the Le Creuset replacement knob as well, per the suggestion of other Amazon shoppers. I am glad I did, the knob is okay, but the Le Creuset lid is so much better. It's like a Cadillac with cheap tires. Over all I still will give the Dutch Oven a five star rating. Hope this review will help others.
