- WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON. It is glass that becomes bonded to the cast iron at high temperatures. A particulate of glass, called frit, is applied to the cast iron vessel and then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400° F. The glass frit melts and fuses to the cast iron, forming a bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is heat tolerant and impervious to water and other consumables..
- EASY TO COOK AND CLEAN: The porcelain enameled interior has a smooth finish that minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization and resists staining. Although enameled cast iron is dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush is recommended to keep your Dutch Oven in tip top shape.
- HEAT RETENTION: The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating throughout both the bottom and sidewalls. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture for scrumptious pot roast, stews or a large batch of beans. Our heat retention also reduces the a of energy needed for cooking..

EC6D33 6 qt. Caribbean blue enameled cast iron dutch oven, as you
combine the benefits of cast iron with the beauty of porcelain
enamel. Creating cookware since 1896, Lodge has a rich history of
an unparalleled dedication to quality and technology. This
particular piece is perfect for making soups, stews, casseroles,

vibrant enamel surface is resistant to ic and alkaline foods.
This Dutch oven is right at home on induction, ceramic, electric,
and cooktops, even in your oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
Additionally, this oven can handle colder temperatures for
marinating or refrigerating foods. Like traditional cast iron
cookware, porcelain enameled cookware starts out being cast in
the traditional method. However, after this process, a glass
particulate called "frit" is applied and the cookware is baked in
ovens between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. This process
transforms the frit into a smooth porcelain surface that is
bonded to the iron. There is no exposed cast iron on the finished
product, the black cooking surface and rims are transformed into
matte porcelain. This Dutch oven features a vibrant Caribbean
blue exterior and a glossy white interior. Overall Dimensions:
Length: 13 1/2" Width: 10 3/4" Height: 7 1/4" Weight: 16 lb.

Lodge Color is one of the newest lines from this respected
American cast-iron cookware company. Traditionally shaped and
more affordable than some European brands, Lodge Color enameled
cast-iron is just as durable, requires no seasoning, and
attractively serves at the table. Lodge infuses this 6-quart
Dutch oven with two coats of hard-as-nails porcelain enamel, in a
choice of several bright colors that are gradated (dark to light)
on the exterior, and which are nicely set off by a cream
interior. Embellished with concentric circles and a black knob,
the lid, which also fits the Lodge Color 11-inch skillet, is
oven-safe to 400 degrees F, so you can start a stew or casserole
on the stovetop and finish by baking it in the oven. The 6-quart
Dutch oven measures 10-3/4 inches in diameter by 4-1/2 inches
deep.
Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to its
versatility--you can marinate raw meats in it, since it won't
absorb odors or flavors, and you can braise, saute, simmer, and
bake in it as well. Made in China to Lodge's meticulous
specifications, each cookware item is first clad in matte black
enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the
oven is actually the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw
cast iron. Though the Dutch oven is dishwasher-safe, washing by
hand is recommended to best preserve the glossy finish. Look also
for the pricier Lodge Enamel series, with its unique L-shaped lid
knob, in a different set of colors and sizes to suit any kitchen.
All Lodge enameled ware is covered by a lifetime warranty against
defects. --Ann Bieri
