This All Pans give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Love it
Although I have a cast iron skillet from another manufacturer that is used primarily for cornbread, this was my first piece of Lodge cookware. I absolutely love this piece. At 28 lbs., it's a little big and heavy for frequent dishes that can be made in a smaller DO for just our family. However, until our 12" comes in, I've learned to modify the coal arrangement to use the 14" deep for breakfast casseroles, home made pizza, cobblers, chicken & dumplings, etc... The size makes it excellent for doing racks of ribs and whole chickens. I'm looking forward to winter camp cooking when it will be filled with chili and stews. Based on our experience with this one piece of cookware, we ordered a 12" for the camper and I just ordered 3 skillets for the house. I'm throwing out all of my "nonstick" skillets and replacing them with Lodge cast iron. Clean-up is a breeze. Even cheesey home-made pizza wipes out with just a paper towel. The pre-seasoning is an added bonus.

2. Okay, now I'm a believer!
There is an ongoing and eternal debate among dutch oven users as to what is the best brand available. For years I have held that Lodge was the best but the difference in quality wasn't worth the difference in price. Of course at that time I didn't even own a Lodge. Well I heard about this one an sale and had been wanting a 14" deep so I ordered it (the free shipping didn't hurt, either). It arrived within two weeks, was already seasoned from the factory (seasoning is a pain, but very necessary), and when I started using it I found out why so many people will only buy Lodge ovens. It really DOES cook better! I highly recomend this oven for anyone who needs a large D.O.
Seriously.

Care, Cleaning and Cooking with your Cast-Iron Dutch Oven
Lodge is one of the better brands for camp dutch ovens. This is the classic that is used by boy scouts, girl scouts, chuck wagon cooks, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. My review is mostly limited to the outdoor uses of this wonderful classic dutch oven, but I use one at home as well. Measures 14 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep inside and hold 10 quarts/2.5 gallon. This model is a big one, a little bigger than the size of the "standard" popular #12 or 8 quart dutch oven most commonly used, but there many sizes bigger and smaller. It has the tripod legs and a recessed lid best suited for cooking in coals. But those legs make it harder to use in a conventional oven, you need to maneuver the legs if possible onto your grill rack. They make a legless version with the domed lid for a home oven, and I have used it in a fire as well. On this model, you can even flip this lid over and use it as a skillet in a pinch if you need to in camp. You can do it all with Dutch Ovens -...
