Dutch Ovens
Discover Lodge Cast Iron dutch ovens
Lodge Cast Iron Dutch ovens are built for long, slow cooking that develops deep flavour: braises, stews, roasts, and even bread. The heavy cast iron holds a steady, even heat and moves from stovetop to oven without missing a beat.
Williams Food Equipment carries the Lodge range in both seasoned and enameled cast iron, from camp ovens to enamel colours for the kitchen.
Why Choose a Lodge dutch oven?
Lodge has made cast iron in the United States since 1896, and the dutch oven is where its heat retention pays off most.
- Even, lasting heat that holds a low simmer for braises and stews
- Stovetop to oven in one pot, with a heavy lid that traps moisture
- Seasoned or enameled, so you can pick bare cast iron or a colour finish that needs no seasoning
Seasoned or Enameled?
Both cook the same way; the difference is the finish and the care.
- Seasoned cast iron, the classic Lodge finish, ready to use and better with cooking
- Enameled cast iron, a glazed finish in colours that needs no seasoning and wipes clean
Cooking with a Lodge Dutch Oven
Sear meat directly in the pot, add liquid and aromatics, cover, and move it to a low oven to finish. The same pot bakes a crisp crusted loaf and holds a chili or stew at a gentle simmer.
For seasoned cast iron, wash by hand, dry thoroughly, and add a light layer of oil. Enameled pieces need no seasoning.
FAQs
Do Lodge Cast Iron dutch ovens come pre seasoned?
Yes. Lodge seasons its bare cast iron at the foundry with vegetable oil, so it is ready to cook on out of the box.
Can a Lodge Dutch oven go in the oven?
Yes. Cast iron is oven safe at any normal cooking temperature, so you can braise on the stovetop and finish in the oven.
What is a camp dutch oven?
A camp dutch oven has three legs and a flanged lid built to hold hot coals for cooking over a fire. A standard dutch oven has a flat base for the stovetop and oven. We sell the standard version.
Does enameled cast iron need seasoning?
No. The enamel finish needs no seasoning. Wash it by hand or in the dishwasher and dry it well.
