Lodge 6qt Cast Iron Enamel Dutch Oven

I have cooked in this dutch oven five times now, all different types of food (meats, veggies, noodles, soups, stir fry) and I can say this one tool in the kitchen is my favorite. I usually use different pans or pots for what I'm making and now that I have this dutch oven I use it for everything! Unless I have to keep food separate. The heat distributes evenly, it doesnt scratch easy, extremely durable. You will definitely feel the weight when you pick it up. The size is perfect for a family of four. I'd go with the 7qt if you have more than four people in your household. I wish there were more color options. I went with the red and I will admit in the store I didn't care for it at all but the reviews were so good I told myself it's about what it does not how it looks, and what it does definitely out weighs the color. The red has grown on me though. I have a black oven with stainless steel covers (I live in an apartment) with tan/dark brown cabinets and dark granite. The red compliments the tones nicely, brings color to this dark apartment.

Bought the blue one and use it for soups. Love the pot so far no problems

After pulling it out of the box I already knew it was going to be a prized possession. Made a risotto in it the night I got it and loved cooking in it. Can't wait to make more recipes. It is heavy so requires so careful handling but it works really well and can't beat the quality for the price! And the blue is so beautiful. It sits on my stove top as decor when it's not in use. It'll definitely be used for years to come until I get some Le Creuset money haha :)

Thick, heavy. Brilliant blue finish. Easy to grip handles. White interior; perfect for making rues.

I love my new Dutch oven! Great quality, inside enamel is beautiful. Seems like it will last forever.

Exactly as described

Bought this as a gift she loves it

I have been using this dutch oven non stop. No problems with chipping, rusting, etc. I'm also super careful handling it especially during handwashing as it gets slippery with soap. Super easy clean up no matter how dirty, sticky and sometimes burnt it gets. Works just the way its supposed to. I've been preheating empty in the oven constantly for bread making but I always do a gradual preheat so I don't ruin the enamel. It looks as good as the day I bought it at my local Target. I am very pleased and will be buying one for a shower gift soon. Very good buy for the money and the red is quite beautiful.
