Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Original Finish 10-Quart Deep Camp Dutch Oven
Customer Review: Lodge is the only cast iron cookware to buy
Summary: 5 Stars
I own a 10 and a 14 quart pair of Dutch ovens. The larger one is big enough to bake things in, you invert a pie plate and place your cooking vessel inside the Dutch oven. They're without peer -- they're simply the best made. I'm dubious about the "preseasoned" iron -- it's just not that hard to season your own cast iron cookware.
They're excellent for camping (Lewis and Clark considered them some of the most important equipment they had) but they perform brilliantly indoors, too. I tend to use my big Dutch oven in place of my wok (the wok's too small). They'll develop a velvety interior in no time, you wash them with HOT WATER ONLY, NO SOAP! Cast iron develops the finish Teflon is meant to imitate.
These are ideal for deep-frying and for making huge batches of spaghetti sauce. If you camp, take them with you -- figure each charcoal briquette is about 45 degres Farenheit and work from there with top and bottom heat -- you can literally cook anything you would cook indoors in a Lodge Dutch oven. See if amazon offers "Lovin' Dutch Ovens" as a good jumping-off point.
These will last a lifetime. Seriously. I own cast iron cookware that's pushing a hundred years in age. These are crucial kitchen tools, second to none. Remember, Lodge is the only name in cast iron you ought to consider.
Customer Review: Great for campouts or fish fries!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cast Iron is ALWAYS a good value for the money and it's indestructable (I'm still using my mother's Lodge skillet that she got for a wedding gift in 1954). This dutch oven, designed specifically for the camp or fireplace cook, goes from the fire to the table with ease. It stews and bakes beautifully - get a dutch oven cookbook and learn how to make campfire biscuits as well as those stews and chilis! Also makes a fabulous wedding, shower, or housewarming gift. Forget expensive wedding registries - buy the bride a lodge dutch oven and skillet. She'll hand them down to the next generation. Every camper can use this and so can every backyard griller. Great for the church fish fry too! Highly recommend!
Customer Review: Best piece of cookware EVER
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but not much. If you ever cook for more than 5 or 6 people at camp-outs, you must have one of these. It does an incredible job of cooking either with coals, or directly in, or over the campfire. Baking, stews, rice dishes, you name it, it works well. It is HEAVY so it holds and distributes heat really well. What amazes me is that Amazon gave me free shipping on it! This sucker weighs almost 30 lbs! Just be sure to season it well when you first get it. Anyway, it gets used on pretty much every camping trip now.Customer Review: Awesome
Summary: 5 Stars
While it took several months to actually ship to me. Now that I have it, I absolutely love it. Most of my friends have the 12 inch, 8 qt dutch oven. This is really great for large-group cooking. It also works well with ribs!
