About Lodge EC3D43 Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven
Overall Feedback:
66% positive
76% liked the versatility
I find the Dutch oven unique with its shallower and more rounded sides, and it is great for all sorts of cooking.
75% highlighted the size and capacity
I have a couple of enameled cast iron pots myself in larger sizes and I find the smaller size of this pot to be welcome when cooking for just two people.
The 3qt pot is perfect for small meals for 2-4 people.
80% appreciated the tight lid fit, but 20% found it loose
The lid did not fit properly on my Dutch oven, indicating poor quality control.
77% highlighted the heat retention
The Dutch oven heats evenly and holds temperatures beautifully.
The Dutch oven is easy to use and keeps food hot for a long time. I have transferred other foods into it to serve because of its heat retaining ability.
81% appreciated the grip comfort
The circle shape of the handle makes it easy to pick up the oven with anything less than 1-1/4 inches wide and keep hands away from the hot metal.
75% found it easy to clean
Cleaning the Dutch oven is easy with specific steps provided and it washes like a china plate.
I usually hand wash and dry my Dutch oven because it is easy to clean, but it is heavy being made of cast iron.
I have had no difficulty in cleaning the Dutch oven. I soak it for a bit after it cools and it is easy to clean.
I soak the Dutch oven first and then wash it by hand. It's easy to clean.
75% liked the aesthetic design, yet 25% thought it unattractive
Sauting vegetables with oil in the Dutch oven is a bit tricky due to its curved inside.
