This Casseroles give to us some advantages, like this :
1. Better than mario batali's
I have had this exact casserole for about a yr and a half now, maybe longer. I love it. I did not get it at amazon, but paid a similar price at a kitchen collection store (the kind you find at outlet malls), go there if you would like to see this collection IRL. The picture does not do this lodge series justice. I think that they are actually prettier than the le crueset version! It is a very deep and rich color, not like the bright tomato color from my computer monitor.
It cleans up beautifully, I have not had any issues with any staining. The outside is in perfect shape and looks brand new. I use it on a gas stove and store it in my oven. I use this casserole as a skillet about 75% of the time, but also use it in the oven as a casserole as needed. I figured that there is NO way I could pick up a cast iron skillet with the single handle, so why not save myself storage space by getting something that is basically the same size and depth, but allows me to carry it...
2. Love this Casserole
I have this casserole in the cafe color. When I ordered it, I wasn't certain I would like the color, but truthfully, I believe I prefer the more neutral color over the brighter colors. I have yet to use it in the oven 'cause I haven't had it long enough but it doubles nicely as a fry pan. I have fried chicken in it & country style steak with gravy with great results. My cooktop is the kind with cast iron burners, slow but easy on maintenance. Surprisely, this pan is so easy to clean & no worry about ruining the seasoning of the pan or eating non-stick coating. You have to wonder about cooking with non-stick when the manufacturers of non-stick cookware instructions tell you that cooking with it could be fatal to pet birds' respiratory systems.
It would be nice if Lodge made a 2 qt. enameled sauce pan 'cause I'd buy one in a flash. I also own a cheaper brand 3-1/2 quart Dutch oven & rice cooks wonderfully in it, and again, it's easy to clean.
I now have on order the Lodge...
Need more appointment... ?
Great dish!
This pot is beautiful! The blue is vibrant. This is my third enamel cast iron piece and I just love how they brown meat perfectly and clean up great. I can brown 5 chicken breasts at once in this pot, it also reduces liquids quickly. This dish is built to last... heavy, sturdy construction. I will have it for my lifetime and I have no doubt that my children or even grandchildren will use it too!
