Customer Reviews of Lodge Enamel on Cast Iron 3 Quart Covered Casserole, Island Spice
Customer Rating:  Summary: My Favorite Pot Comment: Perfect size for singles/couples or for side dishes for families. The cast iron is great for heat retention and durability. The enamel coating allows for more versatility than regular cast. The red is a beautiful color. I have the 3 qt. and the 6 qt. in red and the emerald. I have also bought these as gifts. I love the fact that you can start a dish on stovetop and then transfer to oven, all in one pot. Food tastes delicious and cleanup is a breeze. You can also store your food in the refrigerator in these. It is so easy to use these pots. Some tips from the brochure: The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The black rim on the pot and lid are matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. The knob is oven safe to 400 degrees. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Use for any cooking technique, as well as to marinate, refrigerate, and freeze. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware can be used on gas, electric, ceramic, and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. It is not recommended for use on outdoor grills, or over open outdoor flames. Do not use in the microwave. Cleaning and Care Tips: Hand wash with warm soapy water. Use plastic scouring pads to assist in cleaning. For persistent stains on Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware, soak interior of the cookware for 2 to 3 hours with a solution of bleach, consisting of one teaspoon of bleach per pint of water. If there is baked on food on the cookware, boil a mixture of 1 cup of water and 2 tablespoons of baking soda in the cookware. I love my mine and use mine everyday. Highly recommend. Customer Rating: Summary: Better than mario batali's Comment: I have had this exact casserole for about a yr and a half now, maybe longer. I love it. I did not get it at amazon, but paid a similar price at a kitchen collection store (the kind you find at outlet malls), go there if you would like to see this collection IRL. The picture does not do this lodge series justice. I think that they are actually prettier than the le crueset version! It is a very deep and rich color, not like the bright tomato color from my computer monitor. It cleans up beautifully, I have not had any issues with any staining. The outside is in perfect shape and looks brand new. I use it on a gas stove and store it in my oven. I use this casserole as a skillet about 75% of the time, but also use it in the oven as a casserole as needed. I figured that there is NO way I could pick up a cast iron skillet with the single handle, so why not save myself storage space by getting something that is basically the same size and depth, but allows me to carry it with both hands in a more safe way. I love it, and would recommend it to anyone looking into enameled cast iron. I *almost* bought a le creuset, but am glad I did not waste the $ and took a chance. I know this pot will probably outlast any of my other pots and pans. Oh, and I have the mario batali dutch oven, the quality and finish of the lodge is MUCH better than the mario batali. Had I known it would have been such a drastic difference, I would have saved $ and gotten the lodge version of the dutch oven, which would have at least matched my beautiful casserole. Oh, a quick cleaning tip, sprinkling some baking soda into the enameled cookware works like magic to get any discolorations or any difficult foods off. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Quality, Great Price! Comment: This is my first piece of enameled cast iron ware. I was looking for le creuset style without the price tag. So far the casserole has performed excellently. I had no difficulty with sticking (as some others have reported); the weight is nicely heavy but not unbearable and the appearance is great--I really liked the red color! The price was very affordable--I just placed an order for the matching 3qt dutch oven. I would recommend the Lodge pieces to others who are looking for some affordable and quality enameled cast iron ware. Customer Rating: Summary: Lodge trumps Le Creuset for value. Equals for quality. Comment: Have had a Le Creuset enamel cast iron pot for a few years. Very nice, but I never added more pieces because of the exorbitant expense. Then I discovered Lodge of Tennessee. 120-year old company. Got the 6-quart and 3-quart Lodge "Color" series of enamel cast iron Dutch Ovens -- what a fantastic treat! I adore these Dutch Ovens. Other than color and subtle styling differences I cannot tell the Lodge pieces from the Le Creuset. They are lovely, highly functional and surprisingly easy to clean -- even after cooking and storing chili in the 6-quart for days and potato salad in the 3-quart. Five stars is not enough to convey the tremendous value of these Lodge Dutch Ovens, and that's at full price. I've now been giving them away for birthday presents. Customer Rating: Summary: lodge enameled cast iron 3 quart Dutch oven Comment: I recently purchased the lodge enamelLodge Enameled Cast-Iron 3-Quart Dutch Oven, Island Spice casserole dish. It is great. I love the vibrant red color. It cooks so well and holds the heat great. I highly recommend this product. More Reviews Americans have always had a passion for marinating, and what better piece of cookware to use than the Lodge Color 3-quart casserole. Venison, water fowl and other specialties of the season can be marinated to perfection in these beautiful and versatile pots. The Lodge Color Casserole is a rare culinary gem. For more than a century home cooks and great chefs have cherished their round enamel cast iron ovens. From the stovetop and oven, to its elegant table presentation, Lodge Enamel provides superior cooking performance, versatility, and unparalleled style. When you're finished with your meal simply store your food in the refrigerator or freezer without any concern about food reacting to the porcelain enamel surface. 
Choosing Appliance -> Whip / Whisk Many still consider a whip as a "gourmet" piece of kitchen equipment. Nothing could be further from the truth. It is as essential as a kitchen stove and should be in everyone's kitchen. Nothing works better for mixing a multitude of different preparations or for making sauces or gravy. Buy a solid stainless steel whip with moderately stiff wires. Very thin wires are for mixing delicate things like egg whites or whipped cream. Very thick, solid wires are for mixing stiff dough. Choosing Appliance -> Fridge / Freezers A large number of freezers have eliminated defrosting by continually circulating the air inside the freezer compartment, thus avoiding frost build-up -- a feature well worth paying a little extra for.
