Lodge Enameled Cast Iron

While using enameled cast iron is simple, operators should consider a few variables when buying Lodge enameled cast iron. One of these considerations is care and cleaning. Lodge enamel Dutch ovens and other pans don't need the special care uncoated cast iron pieces require, but many options need to be washed by hand instead of using a dishwasher. Chefs should also evaluate their cooking spoons and spatulas; using metal tools in a Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven can scratch the pan's coating and leave it vulnerable to bacteria and rust.

Lodge ceramic Dutch ovens, skillets, and casserole dishes can perform several cooking functions – great for users looking to prepare a variety of recipes without room to store several pots and pans. These pieces are sturdy and resilient enough for daily use, and they're perfect for deep frying, baking, broiling, simmering, and sauteing ingredients. When shopping for a Lodge enamel cast iron Dutch oven, consider the types of recipes you make most and choose a pan to match. A large pan with shallow sides is perfect for roasting, sauteing, and broiling, while a model with tall sides and a narrower base is better for heating soups, sauces, and oils for deep frying. No matter what Lodge cast iron piece you choose, it can go straight from cooking to serving and look great doing it.
