Customer Reviews of Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 3-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice
Customer Rating:   Summary: No no-knead bread! Comment: If you are purchasing this pot, as I did, to make the famous No-knead bread DO NOT DO IT. Shortly after I got the pot I made the bread and within the first 5 minutes in the oven the plastic knob on the lid "popped" and the plastic was split apart and emitted a terrible plastic-chemical smell into my oven. I take responsibility in not checking that the maximum temperature the knob is rated for is 400 and the bread recipe calls for a 450 oven...I was too anxious to make this famous bread. I now own a beautiful pot that I cannot use the way I would like to. Customer Rating: Summary: Why should you pay the price of Le Crueset? Comment: I own a 7.5 qt. Le Creuset bouillabaisse pot and love it, but I wanted something smaller for everyday and small jobs without paying Le Creuset prices. I took a chance and got the Lodge 3 qt pot. I love it! Performance and maintenance are identical. The Lodge cast iron seems to be thicker and consequently scorches less easily than the Le Creuset. For 1/4 the price it is a no brainer. All we need now is for Lodge to make more pieces and colors available. Customer Rating: Summary: Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 3 Qt Dutch Oven Comment: This is a fairly good dutch oven for the price. You just need to baby it a little. My experience after a year of regular use according to the instructions included with the pan - Pros: cooks evenly, holds the heat, nice size, attractive Cons: lid does not sit tightly on pan (good for slowly reducing, but not for retaining moisture in the oven) stains easily, enamel cannot tolerate the heat of browning meat, after a while in use cannot be soaked because tiny enamel faults start to rust - especially around the rim I brown meat and vegetables in another pan, and then make the stew/braise in this pan if I want a long, slow reduction of the liquid. I do not think it equal to a LeCreuset, but the price seems fair for what it is. Customer Rating: Summary: Lodge Enameled Cast-Iron 3 QT Dutch Oven, Island Spice Comment: Totally love this product. Color is fantastic and I've made some great recipes in this dutch oven. Recommend it and give it 100% rating! It's not the biggest dutch oven out there, but for smaller quanties, this fits the bill. PS I also have the bigger size one too in the same color and also love it! Customer Rating: Summary: This pan is wonderful Comment: This pan is wonderful. I use it every day: for frying, stewing, etc. I love cast iron but I want a pan I can soak.

Choosing Appliance -> Ovens Most avid bakers prefer separate, even-heat double electric ovens. If that describes you - and you have the space - be sure one of the ovens is equipped with a broiler that provides at least 3,000 watts of cooking power. Also look for racks that pull all the way out and lock in place for safe, easy access to the oven. On the inside, a dark interior shows less baked-on grime, while a porcelain interior is easier to clean Choosing Appliance -> Range Cookers The way you cook is also key to deciding which type of range cooker to choose. No-frills heat storage ranges such as Agas retain heat they have gradually built up and generally have two ovens without temperature controls - the hot oven is for roasting and baking, the cool one for slow cooking/keeping warm.
