Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Color 6-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice Red
Customer Review: Great at first
Summary: 1 Stars
I might as well have adopted a puppy to work this hard taking care of something. I babied this thing because it was the greatest bakeware ever and I loved the results. After a few months of use (following the stringent care instructions, mind you) it was showing a few chips on the top and scratches on the inside-bottom. That was only half as disappointing as the day I opened it (around 6 months after purchase) to find the enamel bubbled and ready to chip off on the bottom. Now it sits on its special counter perch un-usable. I will write back when I get a response from lodge on the warranty claim. By the way they sell this at Target for 60 and you won't have to pay for 10+lbs of shippingCustomer Review: Awesome Dutch Oven
Summary: 5 Stars
I really debated buying this pot since everyone I know LOVES the Le Creuset version. I just couldn't bring myself to spend $300 on something when I could buy this one for 50 bucks.
I am NOT sorry. This is my favorite kitchen item now. I love it. I have made stew, pot roast, soups, Ropa Vieja and everything comes out fabulous.
It does take a bit of time for the pot to heat up but once it does, you can simmer with a very low flame for the size of the pot. It heats evenly, doesn't stick and cleans easily.
It is heavy and must be hand washed but I hand wash all my pans anyway.
If you are in the market for this type of pot, buy this one. You will not be sorry.
Customer Review: Lodge Red Enameled Cast-Iron 6-qt Dutch Oven
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter had just bought a red enameled 6-qt Lodge dutch oven about 3 weeks before. I was cooking a roast in her dutch oven and I let it boil dry...I mean really DRY...and smoked up my daugher's downstairs. Because of the high heat and rough treatment, the enameled surface inside the pot "crackled" - I had to replace it for her (it wasn't really hurt...my niece was proud to get it!). I checked the Wal-Mart price (about $70). Amazon's price was $50 with free shipping. How could I beat that deal!! All Lodge products I have used have really been good and have held up well. You just can't beat an old iron skillet (or dutch oven or griddle, etc.) when cooking!Customer Review: Excellent alternative to Le Creuset
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased as a Christmas gift to my household. We had been in dire need of a dutch oven and this one fit the bill when it came to size, price and of course, color. I had read some reviews talking about the enamel coating on the inside coming off, but as of yet, no issue with that. The dutch oven heats up nice and evenly, and retains that heat, great for making sure what you're serving people has not overcooked but also isn't sitting there rapidly cooling down on the stove top.
I have no complaints about it as of yet (and don't expect I will), but I will try to remember to update my review once a full year has gone by.
Customer Review: excellent dutch oven for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I received a 3.5qt red Le Creuset dutch oven as a gift but needed a larger dutch oven. I did not want to pay the price for a 6qt Le Creuset dutch oven so I saw the Lodge product and thought I would try it. It performed just as well as the Le Creuset. The only difference I saw was while the Lodge was as easy to clean as the Le Creuset the lodge did stain on the inside and the Le Creuset was pristien. I think you can buy a cleaner for the Lodge product or the instructions say you can use a bleach. That is the only reason I gave the Lodge oven 4 stars instead of 5. Oh yes the red color is very red and matched the Le Creuset red.
