Lodge EC6D32 Indigo Dutch Oven, 6 Quart, Indigo

This Lodge EC6D32 6 qt. indigo enameled cast iron dutch oven combines all the benefits of cast iron with the beauty of porcelain enamel! Creating cookware since 1896, Lodge has a rich history of an unparalleled dedication to quality and technology. This particular piece has superior heat retention and will evenly heat your soups, stews, casseroles, and cobblers. Boasting a glossy, indigo-colored enamel surface that's resistant to acidic and alkaline foods, this versatile item can be used in an oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit or on an induction, ceramic, electric, or gas cooktop. It can also handle cold temperatures, allowing you to marinate or refrigerate foods as you prep other meals. Porcelain enameled cookware is produced like traditional cast iron pots, pans, and skillets. However, after it is formed, frit, a glass particulate, is applied to the surface and it is baked in an oven between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. This process transforms the frit into a smooth, porcelain surface that is bonded to the iron, making it a high-quality, durable, easy-to-clean item. There is no exposed cast iron on the finished product, as the black cooking surface and rims are transformed into matte porcelain. Create your signature recipes in your restaurant, bistro, or catering kitchen with the help of this enamel dutch oven!
