1 x 150ml White Gloss Fridge, Cooker and Appliance Enamel Paint. Heat Resistant

Product Information

The Lodge’s wide, looped handles are among the easiest to grab securely, even with a folded towel or an oven mitt (which you’ll need, since cast-iron handles heat up during cooking).

But for home cooks who want the absolute best pot, this oven’s durability and generous lifetime warranty may be worth it. This was the perfect pan for when my spouse was very early into bread baking, and for the confit turkey legs that we had one Thanksgiving. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code. Jenny is adept at finding suitable furniture to spec and then converting it to a first rate beautiful product.

Lodge offers a satisfaction guarantee for all of its products that’s a little vague, but Lodge spokesperson Mark Kelly told us, “The enameled cast iron Dutch ovens are covered by a limited lifetime warranty as long as all use and care recommendations have been followed.

Wirecutter’s Winnie Yang told us that the knob on her vintage Le Creuset melted when she baked bread, but we haven’t had issues baking bread or braising foods with the phenolic option on newer pots. This was the biggest challenge to overcome because the final look had to be consistent across all three pieces. The lid on the Lodge allowed for enough evaporation to leave concentrated, rich cooking liquid behind.All of the Dutch ovens we’ve tested performed similarly well at most tasks, including browning onions and baking bread.
