Beautiful Lodge 7.5 Quart Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid. I ordered one at Used Price and it was complete cracked and broken by a handle. So I returned that one and decided to buy one as New. Turns out the Dutch Oven was less than the one purchased as Used. I look forward to using this Dutch Oven this weekend. I am certain it won’t disappoint.

Love this dutch oven. The color is beautiful and I love the shape of the slightly rounded bottom - means there's no corners for food to stick in. Heavy but not overly so. Really happy with the purchase.

This is exactly like a Le Crueset, but without the hefty price tag! Great purchase. I use it every week.

Love Lodge products and this has been perfect for so many different meals. Heavy but worth it.

This Dutch Oven is absolutely beautiful! I read a lot of the Reviews here before deciding to purchase the 7.5 quart Dutch Oven. I recently threw out my large non-stick large stockpot because the coating was peeling. I was looking for a non-toxic replacement that I could use for soups, stews, boiling large amounts of pasta, etc.I haven’t cooked in it yet. I will update this review after I have used it for a few months.I wanted to post a Review now before I cooked in it because I read a lot of reviews which stated people were receiving damaged pots out of the box. Others complained their pot was damaged the first time they used it. My Dutch Oven came tripled boxed. I’m pretty sure this is to protect it in transit. It comes with rubber protectors between the lid and pot. The Owners Manual states to use these when storing it. The Manual also gives directions for heat levels and seasoning with oil the first time you cook with it. I am a home cook. I knew I needed to read the Manual thoroughly because I have never owned an enameled cast iron pot. I learned things I may not have thought of before cooking in it the first time. So please, take the time to read the directions for cooking, cleaning and storing. I think a lot of the negative reviews wouldn’t be here if purchasers took the time to read the Manual/Directions. This Dutch Oven is a naturally created pot. The enameled finish is made from glass. There are some slight bumps that are just a normal part of a natural finish. You need to treat this pot with care when cleaning and storing.Amazon is offering Returns through the end of January due to Holiday gift giving. This also swayed my decision to give this pot a try. If I’m dissatisfied after cooking in it, I know Amazon will take the return in the original boxes and refund me!Update 3-28-25I have used my pot many many times to make various soups, stews, bolognese sauce, cook pasta, bacon, sausage, etc…I love this pot! Cleans up easily. I use a sponge with a scrubby side for anything that may stick. If discoloration takes place on inside bottom, I spray a little Clorox Cleanup with bleach and let sit a few minutes, use my scrubby side of sponge and color us back to original off white.

If you are on the fence about a dutch oven - get this. Almost everything I make in a slow cooker I've made using this dutch oven and may never use my slow cooker again! From stove top to oven recipes, this thing is magical. Heat disbursement is far better than I expected. The item I received has no blemishes and arrived very well packed. KEEP THE LID SAVER TABS!!! This is packed well and includes rubber tabs that fit over the pot lip for the lid to rest on - you would NOT use them for cooking, but definitely want to use them for storage. This dutch oven is very heavy so be mindful of that - it WILL scratch your countertops if you're not careful.I always add some cooking oil to coat the inside evenly before cooking and this will help with clean up. Use a mild dish soap and sponge and it will clean up easily and last a lifetime. Highly recommend - and get the biggest one you can, you will be glad you did!

Very large capacity. Enamel holding up well. Easy to clean. Great brand too for the money.
