Lodge Dutch Oven, 5 qt, Black, 17L8DOL3

Brilliant product. I have a couple of lodge frying pans and grill plate. I won't use anything else. This was great for a slow cook on the stove. The heat seems to spread fairly evenly with not real burn spots (depends on flame intensity). I love Lodge products.

I bought this for making sourdough bread. My first loaf is proving at the minute and the big test will be when I go to bake this. But the product is of excellent quality and the loaf will depend on the baker so I am sure there will be a time of trial and error until I master the proper technique. The goods arrived promptly and I was very pleased with the quality.

Great looking pot can cook very well! I have now moved on to using cast iron for all my food! I love the taste of the stews I have made in them! They give meat such a full flavour! I enjoy the whole process of just rinsing, drying and oiling! Also enjoy seasoning and just makes me love to cook, bake and roast! Well the pot came seasoned but did my own seasoning anyway as I enjoy doing that with all my new cast iron cookware! I have the bigger pot aswell and other skillets aswell. I have gone all cast iron and do not have to worry about my teenagers scratching the non stick as I can reseason! Well worth the purchase!

This is the nicest casserole style pot I have used. Equally good for browning on the hob or slow cooking in the oven. Comes clean very easily if you just use a medium stiff washing up brush under the tap (no soap or washing up liquid). A quick wipe around with a bit of oil on some paper towel makes it gleam. Bit heavy, but then cast iron is.

Old school USA quality, actually made in USA too. Very heavy, beautifully finished. 5l is big though, so probably only useful if you are feeding the 5000! Or making a big batch of amazing stew for freezing.

loved it immediately then so disappointed with myself for putting it in the dishwasher-came out with speckled rust spots all over it *sigh

I love this Dutch oven it does take a little bit of looking after re season and cleaning after use but it will serve you for many many years

Came ready to use. made my first 2 loves this morning beautiful golden colour, crust perfect,tastes great. I have used all types of bread tins, bread making machines, nothing compares to this Dutch Oven, this is how I will be making my daily fresh loaf... Defiantly would recommend. Having a Sunday beef roast dinner, then for tea fresh baked bread stuffed with beef....Yummy.

Cast iron is the best cookware to use according to specialists due to the fact that it is safe and adds iron to the food (fact). Lodge is one of the best brands for Cast iron cookware. Needs some care.

La he comprado para hacer pan y es fantástica. Sirve como cualquier olla de hierro fundido para hacer excelentes guisos. Se puede utilizar con cualquier fuente de calor ... obviamente no en microondas. El acabado es perfecto. facil de limpiar, atendiendo a mantenerla engrasada. Tengo otras marcas, pero esta es la mejor atendiendo a la construcción.

Sehr Qualitativ und Massiv

No doubts about the product absolute beauty but DEAR LODGE pls do something abt the prices. I need more of ur products but prices are too high. Seasoning is oil Seasoned , majority Indian makers are doing chemical seasoning, SIZE is perfect for 4 5 family members... no food color changing due to natural oil seasoning.... PERFECT, USA 🇺🇸 BUILD VERY NICE

Got this Lodge 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven as a wedding gift for my cousin, and they absolutely love it. They put it to work right away with a beef stew and told me it heats evenly, keeps its temperature perfectly, and makes everything taste incredible. Because it comes pre seasoned, a quick rinse was all they needed before cooking, which is great for beginners. The two handles make it simple to move from stove to oven, and its weight gives that solid, durable feel you want in cast iron. It is heavy, but that sturdiness means it will last for decades. Practical, timeless, and good-looking in any kitchen, it turned out to be the perfect gift choice.
