Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Logic 7-Quart Dutch Oven with Spiral Handle Bail and Iron Cover
Customer Review: The greatest -- even better now that it's pre-seasoned
Summary: 5 Stars
I reviewed this item several years ago before Lodge figured out that they'd sell more cast iron wear if they pre-seasoned the cast iron. Not that it's very hard to season a cast iron pan -- just slather it with Crisco and stick it in the oven on low (240 - 260 degrees F.) for a few hours, but that's technology that seems to elude the modern cook. I have to say it: I love cast iron cookwear -- it cooks better than anything else, as long as you maintain it correctly. Here's my old review of the Lodge Original Finish 7-Quart Dutch Oven, hope it's useful. Note that Lodge has a great website with a lot of tips and interesting recipes: [...]
I own several old, but no-name cast iron pots and skillets I've picked up over the years at flea markets. I have always preferred cooking certain things (cornbread, eggs and bacon) in cast iron skillets because the results are just better. You just can't get the crunch or even heating with most of the cookware sold today. Plus, if cared for reasonably well, cast iron is better at 'nonstick' than any of the coated wonders hawked on TV.
(As for "non-stick", forget it. They haven't invented a nonstick pot or pan yet that didn't burn, scratch or emit weird fumes when overheated.)
I recently became interested in purchasing a dutch oven as a result of using my existing cast iron pot for baking bread (NY Times came out with an amazing no-knead recipe in November 2006). Although I've looked at the off-shore imports (most Lodge stuff is made in the USA), which run about $10 cheaper than Lodge, upon comparing the fit and finish, I bought the Lodge 7 qt. indoor dutch oven, the pre-cured Lodge Logic version. It is large enough for a variety of uses, including frying, baking, roasting and stews, and will probably replace our largest Farberware pot which has served us pretty well to date.
I should offer a tip that I haven't seen in any of the other comments -- crusted on gunk is rare for cast iron, but it can occur. NEVER use any steel scouring pad or scouring powder. Ordinary table salt and a paper towel works perfectly well to get the gunk off, plus you can rinse the pot completely clean with a squirt of hot water (salt dissolves!). Another use for salt is as an aid for curing skillets. Sprinkling a little salt in the pan before pouring in a little olive oil and setting on low heat helps distribute the oil evenly and aids in the curing process. I'm not sure why this works, but it does. Just remember to wipe/wash out all the salt after the curing process is done. Again, a spray of hot water followed by thorough drying makes this a snap.
If only cast iron was light enough to backpack....
