Review on 🍲 Lodge 3.6 Quart Enamel Cast Iron Casserole Dish with Lid - Carribbean Blue: Durable and Stylish Cooking Essential by Alex Romero

I bought this with a 4.5 liter Lodge Holland oven and found I used it a lot more often than the Holland oven - three times a week both on the stovetop and in the oven. The pan arrived in perfect condition, no chips or dents on the enamel. The surface is structured, not mirror-smooth, which does not affect the quality of the food prepared or the ease of cleaning. I always oil the entire interior before adding vegetable oil and wait for the pan to cool completely before cleaning, and everything from risotto to oven-baked orzo comes out perfect. I like the pot because it's heavy so it doesn't move around the stove and cooks everything evenly without burning. I have a slow oven and this reduced the cooking time by about 5-10 minutes depending on the dish. I have two pan cookbooks and cook recipes in this pan because it has a lid and the cast iron enamel coating cooks better than heavy aluminum pans. I wish I had bought this pot many years ago.
