The color porcelain enamel on cast iron can be used on gas, electric, ceramic and induction cooktops, as well as in the oven. Not recommended for use on outdoor grills or over open outdoor flames. Not for use in microwaves. Lodge Color Porcelain Enamel on Cast Iron cookware is cast from molten iron in individual sand molds. The porcelain surface eliminates the need to season cast iron. The cast iron vessel has superior heat distribution and retention, evenly heating bottom sidewalls and even the lid. Tightly fitting lid seals in moisture. The excellent heat retention reduces the amount of energy needed for cooking. Two layers of very hard, glossy porcelain enamel are chip resistant and easy to clean. Stainless steel lid knob is oven safe to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron. Hygienic porcelain enamel is non-reactive with food. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance. Made in China. Review: Great Dutch Oven!! - I have recently purchased 3 Lodge Dutch Ovens. They are a bit heavy, but I am nearly 75-years old, and I don't have a problem at all. I love this cookware! I've tried several recipes that require oven baking or preparing on my stove top. I like the fact that I can prepare most meals in the Dutch oven without using other pans or bowls. Furthermore, these Dutch ovens are VERY easy to clean! The red Lodge Cast Iron oven is beautiful! Review: Lodge is a dependable, quality product - It is heavy, of course. Cast iron cookware is heavy. Cooks evenly. Easy to use and easy to clean. The Enamel coating makes it a breeze to clean. I would recommend. ## Features - YOUR GO-TO DUTCH OVEN: A flawless pairing of form and function that doesn't quit. The Lodge Dutch Oven not only makes your kitchen look good but is an enameled cast iron classic great for preparing and serving memorable meals. Broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite meals in the oven up to 500 Degree F. - 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 amount of energy needed for cooking. - FAMILY OWNED SINCE 1896: Lodge has been a trusted family-owned brand since 1896. Made with non-toxic, PFOA & PTFE-free materials, this enameled Dutch oven reflects Lodge’s commitment to quality and environmental responsibility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004QM8SK2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #12,864 in Kitchen & Dining ( See Top 100 in Kitchen & Dining ) #38 in Dutch Ovens | | Brand | Lodge | | Brand Name | Lodge | | Capacity | 4.5 Quarts | | Color | Island Spice Red | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,121 Reviews | | Finish Type | Enameled | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00013389098513, 00075536469430, 10075536469437 | | Included Components | Dutch Oven | | Is Oven Safe | Yes | | Is the item dishwasher safe? | No | | Item Dimensions | 12.6 x 11.1 x 5.6 inches | | Item Dimensions W x H | 12.65"W x 5.65"H | | Item Shape | Round | | Item Type Name | Enameled Dutch Oven | | Lid Material | Cast Iron | | Manufacturer | Lodge | | Material | Cast Iron | | Model Number | EC4D43 | | Part Number | EC4D43 | | Product Care Instructions | Hand Wash Only, Oven Safe | | Shape | Round | | Temperature Rating | 400 Degrees Fahrenheit | | UPC | 075536469430 013389098513 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Limited lifetime | | With Lid | Yes | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lodge - **Capacity:** 4.5 Quarts - **Color:** Island Spice Red - **Finish Type:** Enameled - **Material:** Cast Iron ## Images ![Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid - 4.5 Quart - Oven-Safe Enamel Cookware up to 500° F - Heat-Retaining Braising & Roasting Pot - Non-Toxic Cookware - Island Spice Red - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/913cVhYpJqL.jpg) ![Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven with Lid - 4.5 Quart - Oven-Safe Enamel Cookware up to 500° F - Heat-Retaining Braising & Roasting Pot - Non-Toxic Cookware - Island Spice Red - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41NA7VasyBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can anyone advise me what size to get? I am a single guy and rarely cook for more than two but sometimes do.** A: Personally, if I were still a single guy cooking for two (you always have to account for a date), I might consider getting one of the smaller sizes. But we got the 4.5 quart model, because it's the perfect size to bake amazing artisan bread as described in books like Flour, Water, Salt, Yeast by Ken Forkish. If you want to impress somebody (anybody, not just a date - even yourself), try baking one of the breads in that book in this pot. **Q: where is it made?** A: China. So what exactly does Dutches strict quality control consist of? If Dutch can't publish any safety data or testing in regards to lead or cadmium , then I won't buy this. Controversy emerged about the potential of lead and cadmium leaching from even high-end brands of porcelain enamel, let alone stuff from China. I also find it hard to believe companies in the USA can not apply porcelain enamel to cast iron. **Q: what is the baking temperature for this dutch oven?** A: Description says it's oval, not round, and says 1.5 Qt in one line and 1.5 litres in another. What are the dimensions of the 1.5 Qt dutch oven? **Q: Is the 4 quart large enough for pot roast compared to the 6 quart. I am looking at the weight when full to be able to lift it.** A: It really depends on how many people you are cooking for. The 4 qt works for me because I don't have a large family to feed and it is lighter than the 6 quart. I don't have very much strength in my arms, so it works for me. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Dutch Oven!! *by S***E on March 2, 2026* I have recently purchased 3 Lodge Dutch Ovens.
