(More customer reviews)I like to cook with Dutch Ovens. I also like to experiment with new recipes that are not necessarily designed for a Dutch Oven. I have four other Dutch Ovens: Two 12 inch, one 10 inch and a 14 inch. Over the years I have done my experimental recipes in one of the larger ovens. This is fine if everything works correctly and I have 6 to 8 people to feed, but for much smaller groups and/or bad results, I like the smaller oven.
Within a day of receiving the oven I tried a dessert recipe, but cut the amount by three quarters. Although it came out good, it still made six servings, but this was better than the 24 servings the full recipe made. My wife and I had dessert for three nights. I have now used it at least a dozen times in the past month for cooking everything from desserts, game hens, roasts and homemade spaghetti sauce. I am thinking of buying a second, and a friend (a Dutch Oven cook) is looking at acquiring one for himself.
For small groups, couples, etc, this 8 inch Dutch Oven is an excellent addition to anyone's Dutch Oven and cast iron cookware collection.
One final note: All of the cooking was done in an outside BBQ area designed for Dutch Oven cooking using charcoal.

Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 2-Quart Camp Dutch Oven with Iron LidLodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 2-quart camping Dutch oven, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The Dutch oven measures 8 inches in diameter and 3 inches deep--an ideal size for making small stews or outdoor casseroles. The vessel is also suited for boiling water, making rice, or heating up soup, as its cast-iron material delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention particularly enhances slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. As with all of Lodge's camping cookware, the bottom of the pan includes a quartet of integral legs for campfire and fireplace cooking. In addition, the flanged lid inverts for use as a griddle, letting campers enjoy their morning flapjacks and sausages. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the oven, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.
