Having taken the time to seal the surface properly the Dutch oven has not had any of my sourdough bread loaves stick to the surface. I love the way I can place the dough in the lid rather than having to reach in to the depths of the pan when it is stinking hot. The handles are easy to offset and provide an adequate grip in order to separate the two pieces. The size is great for so many ways of preparing food but I have only used it thus far for making bread. Be warned you need serious muscles to carry this if you fill it :)

Lodge make great cast iron cookware. This dutch oven has been added to my collection of Lodge cast iron frypans. It is perfect for baking home made bread as well as all types of casserole dishes.

Bought primarily for my sourdough baking (for years have been ‘making do’ with a covered roaster), but this is such a good all-rounder. As well as bread (where I use it upside down, with ‘lid’ as base) I’ve also tested it out on a slow cook beef casserole with outstanding results, and expect to use the lid alone in lieu of a frypan on the stovetop. Lodge comes pre-seasoned, and I was skeptical about whether food would still stick, but it doesn’t ! A light oil after cleaning makes for easy maintenance.

Cast iron takes a bit to fully season but once done lasts forever. Have always loved Lodge cast iron. So versatile for all types of cooking.

Easily one of my favourite kitchen products. I was looking for a Dutch oven for a while and I am so glad I bought this one. I love that the lid can be used as a skillet, I cook on it almost everyday, from omelettes to pancakes to pizzas. Also, cannot fault it as a Dutch oven, bread comes out great every time. Comes preseasoned but I personally like a smoother surface so sanded mine down and reseasoned. Really well made and easy to clean, can tell it’s going to stay with me for life.
