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. Stainless steel lid knob is oven safe to 500 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. Made in China. Review: Perfect for sourdough - Love my lodge. Perfect size for sourdough standard size. Very pretty color. Can’t wait to try cooking roast in it. With stands high heat without discoloring so far. Not cheap but it is a good Dutch oven. Review: Great Dutch Oven!! - I have recently purchased 3 Lodge Dutch Ovens. They are a bit heavy, but I am nearly 75-years old, and I don't have a problem at all. I love this cookware! I've tried several recipes that require oven baking or preparing on my stove top. I like the fact that I can prepare most meals in the Dutch oven without using other pans or bowls. Furthermore, these Dutch ovens are VERY easy to clean! The red Lodge Cast Iron oven is beautiful! ## Features - Moisture-Locking Lid: The Lodge Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven features a moisture-locking design ideal for roasting, braising, slow cooking, and baking bread - Heat-Retaining, Even Performance: This heavy-duty, heat-retaining cookware delivers even heat distribution for consistent results - Dual Assist Handles: Designed with dual assist handles for easy maneuverability, this cooking pot moves confidently from stovetop to oven to table - Durable Enamel Finish: This PFAS-free, colorful cookware features a smooth surface for quick, easy hand washing and maintenance ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Brand | Lodge | | Capacity | 4.5 quarts | | Color | Island Spice Red | | Finish Type | Enameled | | Item Dimensions W x H | 12.65"W x 5.65"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Weight | 12.4 pounds | | Material | Cast Iron | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only, Oven Safe | | Shape | Round | | Temperature Rating | 400 °F | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lodge - **Capacity:** 4.5 Quarts - **Color:** Island Spice Red - **Finish Type:** Enameled - **Material:** Cast Iron ## Images ![Lodge Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 4.5 Quart, Island Spice Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913cVhYpJqL.jpg) ![Lodge Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 4.5 Quart, Island Spice Red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NA7VasyBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anyone advise me what size to get? I am a single guy and rarely cook for more than two but sometimes do.** A: Personally, if I were still a single guy cooking for two (you always have to account for a date), I might consider getting one of the smaller sizes. But we got the 4.5 quart model, because it's the perfect size to bake amazing artisan bread as described in books like Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast by Ken Forkish. If you want to impress somebody (anybody, not just a date - even yourself), try baking one of the breads in that book in this pot. **Q: where is it made?** A: China. So what exactly does Dutches strict quality control consist of? If Dutch can't publish any safety data or testing in regards to lead or cadmium , then I won't buy this. Controversy emerged about the potential of lead and cadmium leaching from even high-end brands of porcelain enamel, let alone stuff from China. I also find it hard to believe companies in the USA can not apply porcelain enamel to cast iron. **Q: what is the baking temperature for this dutch oven?** A: Description says it's oval, not round, and says 1.5 Qt in one line and 1.5 litres in another. What are the dimensions of the 1.5 Qt dutch oven? **Q: Is the 4 quart large enough for pot roast compared to the 6 quart. I am looking at the weight when full to be able to lift it.** A: It really depends on how many people you are cooking for. The 4 qt works for me because I don't have a large family to feed and it is lighter than the 6 quart. I don't have very much strength in my arms, so it works for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for sourdough *by J***R on May 25, 2026* Love my lodge. Perfect size for sourdough standard size.
