A flawless pairing of form and function, the Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven is a classic way to both prepare and serve memorable meals. The 6 quart capacity is perfect for pot roasts, scrumptious stews, or a large batch of beans. Broil, braise, bake or roast in the oven up to 500 Degree F. Great for induction cooktops. Sauté, simmer or fry on any stovetop. The right tool to marinate, refrigerate, cook and serve with unparalleled in heat retention and even heating. ENAMEL BASICS: If cookware includes rubber bumpers, set aside and keep for storage. The porcelain (glass) finish is hard, but can be chipped if banged or dropped. Interior protection must be used to prevent chipping if cookware is stacked. There is no exposed cast iron on your enamel cookware. The black cooking surfaces, pot rims and lid rims are matte porcelain. Oil rim after use. Smooth glass surface won’t react to ingredients. Use vegetable oil or cooking spray for better cooking and easier cleaning. LET’S COOK: All new cookware should be rinsed and dried thoroughly before your first use. Always lift cookware on smooth-top stoves. Sliding anything can scratch the surface. Be sure to protect your hands, our handles get hot too. Protect counter tops/tables by placing hot cookware on trivets or heavy cloths. Cast iron performs best when heated and cooled gradually. Cast iron has superior heat retention and rarely requires a “high” heat setting. Do not heat an empty enameled Dutch oven. Use wooden, silicon or nylon utensils. Metal can scratch the porcelain. QUICK CARE: Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware’s original appearance.

After only two uses, I now have a small chip on the inside of the bowl. I don’t use medal utensils and followed care instructions. After reading amazon feedback, there appears to be a number of people with similar problems. I am waiting to hear back from Lodge, but probably should have gone with a higher end product.UPDATE: I did contact Lodge on the above issue. After a few…
Lack of durability I’m not a picky person and it’s very very rare for me to give a product 2 star!I have to say I was very happy when I got this product. It looks just like my mom’s big old Le Creuset Dutch Oven and it’s much much cheaper.The first two cooking experience (braise short ribs and made some casserole in oven with 375 degree) was nice, it worked fine and was easy to clean. But today when I brown chicken breast, I heard of a pop and the oven looks like as following pic.I promise I followed…
