Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 3-Quart Covered Casserole Review

This pot is beautiful! The blue is vibrant. This is my third enamel cast iron piece and I just love how they brown meat perfectly and clean up great. I can brown 5 chicken breasts at once in this pot, it also reduces liquids quickly. This dish is built to last... heavy, sturdy construction. I will have it for my lifetime and I have no doubt that my children or even grandchildren will use it too!

This 3 Qt enamel covered casserole is great for cooking, marinating, refrigeration and freezing.The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames.Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron.The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid.Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture.The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking.Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean.Lid knob is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron.Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food.Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance.11 3/4" diameter,2 1/8" deep.Caribbean Blue

Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 11-Inch Skillet Review

Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 11-Inch Skillet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had this pan for several months now and had previously been used to frying with regular cast iron or stainless steel. I have a flat top stove and am not supposed to use my cast iron on it so I thought I would try this one instead. I've found that the interior is better than stainless steel for cooking certain things (like over-easy eggs) with a simple clean-up and minimal sticking. It's also good for reheating left-over meals, or making pancakes.
However, when I tried cooking things like sausage, or stir-fry meat, or with any sauces that contained sugar, I ended up with charred bits that would not come off. I tried boiling the pan with vinegar, or scouring gently with baking soda and nothing works. I did of course follow the directions and have never cooked on any setting above medium (usually, I use medium low). Then I made the mistake of frying falafel in the pan. I now have a permanent layer of caramelized oil on the bottom of my pan. Add the two chips on the handle that came off within the first week of use (and I am extremely gentle with this pan), and I would have to say I am fairly disappointed.
I also own the Lodge Enamel 6 quart dutch oven, and that item is fabulous. Not a chip or stain on it, even though I use it extensively. Also, I have fried up some of the same things in the dutch oven as the fry pan - with no sticking/stains in the dutch oven, but with permanently charred bits in the fry pan. Lodge should have made this one with the glossy interior.
Perhaps I'll replace this one with the 3 quart covered casserole since it has the glossy interior.

Reston Lloyd 2-Quart Teapot Review

About a year ago I bought your orange tea pot. Yesterday I was making a pot of tea and went to use the restroom. When I came back to the kitchen, my tea pot was on fire. After I put out the flames, i opened the tea pot to see that it still was full of water. The paint itself had set on fire. The tea pot was cheap and I guess you get what you pay for. I was lucky my kitchen didn't set on fire. Thankfully nothing was harmed but the tea pot. Selling these items is both dangerous and irresponsible. Feel free to contact me.
