Midnight Chrome 6 Qt Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

The Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven, a 6 Qt capacity model in Midnight Chrome, is your go-to choice for exceptional cooking performance. This flawless pairing of form and function is an enameled cast iron classic, perfect for preparing and serving unforgettable meals. Whether you're broiling, braising, baking or roasting, this Dutch oven can handle it all, with a temperature tolerance up to 500 Degrees Fahrenheit.

The secret behind the remarkable durability and functionality of this Dutch oven lies in its porcelain enamel coating on cast iron construction. This process involves applying a particulate of glass, known as frit, to the cast iron vessel, which is then baked at temperatures between 1200 and 1400°F. The glass frit melts and fuses to the cast iron, creating a strong, impervious bond. The result is a heat-tolerant, water-resistant surface that is easy to clean and care for.

The smooth, porcelain enameled interior of the Dutch oven minimizes sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists staining, making it a breeze to clean. While the Dutch oven is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash it with warm, soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to maintain its pristine condition.

The cast iron construction of the Dutch oven ensures superior heat distribution and retention, heating the bottom and sidewalls evenly. The tightly fitting lid seals in moisture, creating the perfect environment for delectable pot roasts, stews, or a large batch of beans. This efficient heat retention also reduces the amount of energy required for cooking, making it an economical choice.

At the heart of the Lodge brand is a family-owned legacy that dates back to 1896. The Lodge family not only runs the business but also embodies environmental responsibility and community development, with their heads and hearts firmly rooted in America. The products they create, including this Dutch oven, are made with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE-free materials, ensuring a safe and sustainable cooking experience.
