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

The first covered pot I received had a bulge on the bottom and didn't fit on the stove. I called the lodge to see if it was ok and was told to sit down and recommended bringing her back. The second casserole I received was perfect! It is excellent as an open or covered pan as well as in a casserole. I washed it thoroughly and applied a small amount of oil or oil before use. Eggs, potatoes, fried potatoes, caramelized onions, etc. cook excellently and do not burn. It is excellent for braising and browning on the stovetop and for baking in the oven. This is a great pan that can be used all the time and you can cook anything in it. It is a beautiful colour, very well made and very good quality, just like my 6 liter enameled lodge. I use the Dutch Oven all the time for stews and chili. The size is very comfortable for two. I don't think you can go wrong with this pan. Updated: 05/05/2016. I use this covered pot all the time, not only for casseroles, chili, soups, stews, etc., but also for bacon, eggs, stews, and many other tasks! I recently underestimated how much space I needed to put potatoes on my shepherd's pie. The results cooked up quite a mess in my oven. That was the biggest test for my pan. I figured I'd have to get my scrub daddy out and do it! Wow, after soaking an empty pot in warm, soapy water for 5 minutes, it's brand new! I'm so impressed! Nothing I've cooked in this pan has stuck, and everything just cooks great! Another advantage is that the pan keeps everything hotter longer after baking in the oven! This is a fantastic pan!
