What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven 6-Quart

Best Praise

+31 pts

“Lodge makes extremely decent enameled cast iron. I've had a dutch oven from them for the last 8 years and it's held up great. They've got a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects too, so as long as you don't drop it or leave it on the stove on high for 3 hours it should last you forever.”

Top Criticism

+6 pts

“I haven't trusted Lodge enamel since I scrubbed the enamel off the inside of a pot while cleaning 4 years ago. Seriously, who scrubs of enamel with a regular sponge, not even like chainmail or nothing? Just a regular sponge”

Top Criticism

+3 pts

“I own three. They're overpriced, though they look nice. For 350 euros for a Saucier, you would be better off buying Falk at 2/3 the price. Heats more evenly, more responsive, holds heat much better. If looks is your primary concern, then the Nanobond fry pan is absolutely beautiful.”
