Lodge Enamel is the more upscale of the two enameled cast iron lines from this respected American cast iron cookware company. Sleeker and more contemporary in form than Lodge Color enameled cast iron, and featuring a stylish L-shaped lid knob made of stainless-steel, Lodge Enamel cast iron cookware is coated with four, not two, glossy coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel that is imported from France. The exterior color is uniform, not gradated, and is nicely set off by a cream interior. The lid is oven-safe up to 500 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 7-quart Dutch oven measures 11-3/8 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep, perfect for slow-simmering stews, casseroles, and chicken-and-rice dishes.
Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its versatility-you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also for the less expensive, more traditionally styled Lodge Color series, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen. All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
Product Description
The enamel coating eliminates the need to "season" the cast iron and creates a non-reactive surface that can be used for cooking as well as marinating, refrigerating or freezing. Lodge Enamel can be used on electric, gas and induction cooktops on low to medium temperatures. It can also be used in gas, electric or convection ovens below 500 degrees. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended for preserving the appearance of the enamel. Dutch ovens are considered the original slow cooker and have been a kitchen staple in American homes for more than two centuries. 7 Quart capacity. Liberty blue

Amazing piece of cookware.,

This review is from: Lodge Enamel Cast-Iron 7-Quart Dutch Oven, Liberty Blue (Kitchen)
This dutch oven is simply great. It's hefty, beautiful, and cooks like a dream. The handle is really neat, too. The quality of the pan is top-notch. It cooks well and cleans up with ease. (...)
The pan does appear to be made in China to Lodge's specifications. It's clearly a Lodge pan with their name engraved on the handles. It doesn't bother me in the least, but if that's something that bothers you than best of luck. For me, I have found a pan that's going to be in my kitchen for the rest of my life.

Gives Le Creuset a run for it's money,

This review is from: Lodge Enamel on Cast Iron 7 Quart Dutch Oven, Patriot Red (Kitchen)
I've always wanted a Le Creuset Dutch oven for a long time, but they are just too expensive. I like my Lodge cast iron pan a lot so I decided give their enamel Dutch oven a shot. I was impressed the moment I opened the box. It looks and feels like a Le Creuset. I have used it for 2 slow-cooking dishes and it performed flawlessly. Nothing stuck to the inside or outside of the oven. When wearing oven mitts, I also like the handle more than that of Le Creuset.

"Love that Lodge",
By
This review is from: Lodge Enamel Cast-Iron 7-Quart Dutch Oven, Liberty Blue (Kitchen)
Purchased the 7 quart model some months ago. Used it the day after it arrived. I noticed the pot had a hump in the center of the bottom. The high spot caused a hot spot and lent itself to burning no matter what I tried. I fired off an Email to Lodge, and explained my problem. Their reply was immediate, and said they would supply a UPS mailer so I could return it. (Glad I saved the original carton.) I had no problem with their customer service. My replacement came two weeks later, and this one had a flat bottom. After using it numerous times I've become a "Lodge Fan" I gave it 3 stars based on their quality control. Not on the pot's performance or their customer service which was superb. My inconvenience, and the cost of the replacement could have been avoided if quality assurance had been better. Especially when spending $[...] for this item or any tem of theirs for that matter.
