Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Color Dutch Oven, Café Brown, 6-Quart
Customer Review: Good Quality, Good Price
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like this pot. After looking around, I just couldn't justify spending all the $$$ for LC or Staub... so I thought I'd give this a try. I'm glad I did! Cooks great, looks great & is easy to clean. I switched the knob to a stainless cabinet knob so I could use it in a very hot oven (the knob will crack in an oven over 400). $2 at the hardware store - just make sure to buy a long enough screw. If I ever get a little hard-to-clean residue; baking soda w/a drop of water (make a paste) cleans it right up. Now I want to buy the 3 Qt & the skillet...
UPDATE 4/09: I've now owned this for over a year & I use it at least once/week 6 months of the year. I really like this pot & can't imagine not having one. It still looks beautiful & shiny. I keep the inside clean/white w/baking soda (light cleanup) & Barkeeper's Friend (when food gets really cooked on). It's a really good buy.
Customer Review: This is a workhorse!

I received my Lodge Enameled 6qt Cast Iron Dutch Oven last week. It arrived properly packaged and in great condition. The color is so beautiful, but the utility is amazing. I have used this at least once a day for the past week. Even though I made room in a cupboard for it, I now leave it on the stovetop so I'm not bending every hour to get it out! I have used it on the stovetop and in the oven with amazing results in my recipes - eggplant parm, pot roast, chili, lentils, chicken cacciatore, chicken marsala, steak pizzaiola, rattatouille, zucchini & eggs, you name it - it is great. Easy clean up, too! I highly recommend this size, too. I have other smaller ones and also regular cast iron - which also gets a workout in my kitchen. But this one - just superb!Customer Review: Who needs Le Creuset?
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had a Le Creuset enamel cast iron pot for a few years. Very nice, but I never added more pieces because of the exorbitant expense. Then I discovered Lodge of Tennessee. 120-year old company. Got the 6-quart and 3-quart Lodge "Color" series of enamel cast iron Dutch Ovens -- what a fantastic treat! I adore these Dutch Ovens. Other than color and subtle styling differences I cannot tell the Lodge pieces from the Le Creuset. They are lovely, highly functional and surprisingly easy to clean -- even after cooking and storing chili in the 6-quart for days and potato salad in the 3-quart. Five stars is not enough to convey the tremendous value of these Lodge Dutch Ovens, and that's at full price. I've now been giving them away for birthday presents.Customer Review: Developing muscles everyday
Summary: 4 Stars
I love this dutch oven, and the price is absolutely unbeatable. I use it to cook everything from roast chicken, to risotto, to chili. I use it at least twice a week, and I only really cook 4 or 5 times a week. The main draw back is its weight, but there's really nothing you can do about that if you want even cooking.
However, I did have to go out and buy a rubber covered whisk for this thing because the enamel that lines the pot is delicate. You can't use metal tools in this thing which means you can't mash potatoes in it, which is pretty much the only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5.
Overall, great workhorse, and completely affordable, even for a barely paid graduate student like me.

Summary: 5 Stars
I finally found it. I have been searching high and low for years for an affordable, quality Dutch Oven. I have finally found it and it far exceeds my expectations...AND it's enameled all the better.
I truly cannot stop using this gem because not only is it perfect for everything it's just beautiful to use.
Remember, it's enameled cast iron so it is heavy, I like that.
Buy this gem and it will last you a life time. DON'T waste your money on other over-priced, triple digit ($$$), made over there options. This is the Dutch Oven your looking for, AND it's made in the USA . Buy it !!!
Oh, it's comes in other colors too, I so want a green and blue one.
