Lodge Enamel Dutch Oven

Yes, the cast iron core makes this Dutch oven fully compatible with induction cooktops, as well as gas, electric, and ceramic ranges.

The lid features small bumps on the underside designed to catch evaporating steam and drip it back onto your food. This process keeps meats and stews moist during long braises without you needing to manually baste them.

While the enamel is durable, it is still a glass-like coating. To prevent chipping, avoid using metal utensils, refrain from thermal shock by not putting a hot pot directly into cold water, and avoid banging the lid against the rim.

Yes, the pot and the stainless steel hardware are oven-safe. It is built to handle high heat, making it perfect for bread baking, roasting, and finishing stovetop dishes in the oven.

While the manufacturer may state it is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing with warm, soapy water to preserve the finish and longevity of the enamel coating over time.

No, the enamel coating creates a non-reactive surface that does not require seasoning. You can cook acidic ingredients like tomato sauce or wine-based braises without worrying about metallic flavors or damaging the pot.
