Written by Mark Jala   
Lodge Color Enamel Cast Iron is available in skillets, roasters, apple pots, Dutch ovens, and covered casseroles. Available colors are graduated: Caribbean (graduated blue), emerald (graduated green) café (graduated brown) and island spice (graduated red). Lodge Color Enamel cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. A layer of black, matte enamel and two layers of glossy, durable porcelain enamel are then added to create a surface that is chip resistant and nonstick. It's cast iron that eliminates the need for seasoning, is hygienic, non-reactive to acidic foods and other foods, and creates an easy clean up surface.

Lodge Color enamel cast iron is safe on your gas, electric, induction or ceramic stove. Lid knobs are oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. This cast iron cookware is dishwasher safe but if you wish to preserve your glossy exterior, hand washing in soapy water is recommended.

This cookware is covered by a limited lifetime warranty against defects.

Lodge Cast Iron was founded by Joseph Lodge in 1896. It's still a family owned, family operated business based in a small, Appalachian community of 3,300 members called South Pittsburg, Tennessee. They produce the greatest selection of high quality cast iron goods on the market and they've even entered into the global economy recently. While most of their best known cast iron construction occurs at home, they are now expanding their business by importing the two lines of enamel coated cast iron from China, under the strictest of supervision and testing.

LodgeEnamelset.jpgLodge Color enamel cast iron rates highly with Amazon customers. Most vessels get 4 ½ to 5 stars. A reviewer writes of the six quart Caribbean blue Dutch oven “Heavy but not cumbersome to use, heat transfer is excellent, color is vibrant, overall does a great job, unlike this distracted cook. While making a blackberry dessert, I burned fresh blackberries in this pot. The result was a thick hard black crust on the bottom surface. After soaking and scraping several times, I was able to get it clean, and without a scratch on the enamel! I've burned things to a lesser extent in similar pots, and cleaning wore into the enamel. Not so with this one. I'm staying with this line. Very pleased.”

Another reviewer writes about the savings, “I have a hard time seeing how any piece of cookware could really be worth $200 to me, so I started investigating alternatives. At $50, this Dutch oven is a bargain, and certainly does not sacrifice performance. In fact, I actually think it cooks better than my Le Creuset pot (it seems to be thicker and better at evenly spreading heat). If you're in the market for a Dutch oven, put this to the top of your list!”
