Lodge, L8DOL3HH41PLT, Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Handle Holders, 5-Quart, Black/Red

Great cast iron cooking pot. Ideal for one or two people.

I bought this to up my breadmaking game. I went for the 7qt version because I wanted to go large on the loaves. I'm baking 1.5kg recipes and the 7qt accommodates this very well. The 5qt would be fine for 1kg loaves in my opinion. I went pure cast iron because they can take any temperature and, provided you keep it dry after use, it'll conceivably last forever. I've looked at hyper expensive alternatives and, now I have this, I really can't imagine needing anything better. I'm very much into high quality cookware and the Lodge is perfectly good for me. I seasoned it once (came pre-seasoned, but I did it as a precaution) and it hasn't needed anything since. I use it for bread only and I use parchment paper for lining it. The bread results (the photo was my second attempt) are incredible. If you're up for bread making this is a game changer.

I love Lodge cast iron and have quite the collection! I bought this model specifically for baking my Sourdough loaves and after a wee wait (just under 2 weeks) my Dutch oven arrived safely from the USA, the home of Lodge. Very happy with it xx

DEAR SIRS! AFTER HAVING USED IT FOR THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THE BACK OF THE LEAD WHEN I WAS CLEANING IT SOME VERY UNUSUAL KIND BROWN THICK PASTE IS IT NORMAL? EVEN WHEN IS DRY IT LEAVES THAT BROWN STAIN. PLEASE CAN SOME BODY TELL ME IF IT IS NORMAL? IT DID COST OVER £90.00 POUNDS.ALL I WANT IS AN ANSWER TO THAT EFFECT.

Useful when you don’t need a big pot, many uses, even bake my banana bread, I use on my glass electric top hob, Update this pot so good I want another, sadly no longer sending to my address, please Amazon, could u start sending to my address again

Very pleased with this Lodge saucepan. Excellent quality, can make huge quantities of food. It does take a little elbow grease to clean but it's so worth it. Highly recommended

Much cheaper than enamel ware; gets better with age; can be cleaned up and re-seasoned very easily. No substitute!

I have from far past few Lodge items - perfectly made. This one though excellent design, good size....quality is trashious. I couldn't believe that on one side of the cover it was visually thinner. Very strange that it even passed quality check...

It's adorable,great little size can't wait to make some roast and sew in it!

I purchased this dutch oven just after Christmas and it did not disappoint. It has no defects and although it came pre-seasoned I re-seasoned just once to be certain. I have cooked so many different meals in it already I use it easy every 3rd to 4th day for something. I like the size as I can do a lot of batch cooking, and stocks. I use it for Rice and Beans, large cuts of meats, small chickens, and duck. I have used it for deep frying and just recently butter chicken. It really is a workhorse. Ive had no problems with its seasoning, if your concerned about it do look up how to properly care for cast iron, it should help you. Yes it is very heavy, when its filled it is even more so, it's an 8qt Cast Iron Pot and I didnt expect anything less. All around Im happy to have finally bought myself a great quality dutch oven.

Rien ne bat la durabilité de la fonte. Des articles de cuisine qui passent à travers le temps et absorbent le goût de l'amour et des plas cuisinés de fois en fois. La cocotte en fonte avec supports de poignée de 5 litres en noir et rouge est un ustensile de cuisine polyvalent et robuste! Parfaite pour mijoter de délicieux plats, la fonte retient bien la chaleur, assurant une cuisson uniforme. Je m'en sert pour faire mac and cheese sur feu de bois. Aucune chaleur n'est trop chaude. Les supports de poignée facilitent la manipulation de la cocotte, même lorsqu'elle est chaude. C'est un incontournable pour préparer de savoureux repas en toute simplicité! 🍲🔥

Mal emballée, sans rembourrage, couvercle égratigné.

Love my Lodge cast iron Dutch ovens. I own 4 of them and use them for baking bread as well as using them as a slow cooker for various meals, such as pulled pork.
