"Lodge Logic Duth Oven"
This is a great product. The pre-seasoning is a wonderful feature and the oven has performed flawlessly. This is made in the US and the quality is exceptional. Be sure to leave it to someone in your will because it will last a long time!

"What real men cook with! ! ! !"
I own the Lodge 12" deep. It's large enough to make food for 8 people. The first time I used this oven, we were camping and I made chili. Being the kind of guy that thinks he's smarter than the manufacturer, I used more coals than recommended. About 20 minutes after I added the tomatoes, I opened the lid and found a rapidly boiling pot of chili. It came out great, but I didn't need to use more coals than they recommended. I bought a large patio block and use it at home as well as camping. The best addition to this oven is to buy the lid lifter. Don't buy one of these if you're looking for something that requires no care at all. You shouldn't wash these with soap, just hot water and a stiff brush for scrubbing. Then it needs to dry completely and then oiled. I dry it by heating it back up. If you don't do this every time, it will rust. That's just the nature of cast iron cookware. It's fun, and is really kind of a hobby. The oven comes with a users guide complete with care instructions and recipes. There's also a lot of cookbooks for dutch oven cooking.

"Lodge Logic 8 quart camp dutch oven"
We are very pleased with our Lodge Logic 8 quart camp dutch oven. It's true about the preseasoned readiness of the dutch. Straight out of the box, we rinsed it with hot water, applied a thin coat of cooking oil, and started cooking. The instruction/recipe book was most helpful to us,being first time owners. It listed the amount of charcoal needed for various cooking temperatures and sizes of the dutch ovens being used. We used one of our own recipes, stuffed meatballs. The food turned out great! We think it tasted better. We plan on buying a 10" and an 8" camp dutch to use with this 12" so we can try the stacking method of cooking. As a side note, we found the Weber chimney charcoal starter to work well, and at a price under 13 bucks at the HomeDepot. Also my husband came up with the idea of using leather welding gloves for safe handling of the charcoal chimney and the hot dutch. We found a pair at Sears for under 10 bucks. To use our dutch while camping we thought it best to use a metal container of some sort for a cooking table that is light weight and packable. We found the solution at a restaurant supply store, a huge 15"dia.aluminum cake pan with 2" sides. We also found 16" tongs at that store. This is a fun and tasty way of cooking outdoors.



"Camp Dutch Oven Cooking"
For cooking a good meal in the great outdoors or in your backyard you can not go wrong with a Lodge Dutch Oven. This gives me five of the "Black Iron Pots" as they were called by our Grand parents and Great Grand parents. You can cook bread,beans,meats and vegges in any combinations you like. Just follow the directions that come in the box and with some practice you will soon be an outdoor chef. I can't wait to go camping again!!!

"Great for Bread"
This is a great tool for baking European style crusty bread! Best bread I ever made. Saw the recipe in Mother Earth News: 3 cups bread flour, 1/4 tsp dry yeast, 1 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 1/2 cups water. Dissolve yeast in water. Mix ingredients in mixing bowl, but don't knead. Cover with wrap and let it rise 12-18 hours til dotted on top with bubbles. Roll dough into ball and set seam side down on dish cloth heavily coated with flour and corn meal. Let dough rise til double. About 20 minutes before dough is ready, put Lodge Dutch Oven, lid and all, into your oven and set temp to 450. After 20 min without burning yourself, put dough, seam side up into kettle and cover. Return to oven and cook for 30 minutes with lid on. Then remove lid and continue baking til it browns up and sounds hollow when tapped. Remove and let cool.

What our customer's say!

"So Worth It!", We were introduced to camp dutch oven cooking a few months ago and have since re-discovered the fun of cast iron cooking. The outdoor recipes are not only fun, but easy to prepare in the dutch oven and the idea of cooking on the riverbank or in the backyard is great. Lots of plans for future outtings with out new camp dutch oven. The purchase of a lid lifter and trivet are not mandatory, but highly suggested. (The ashes in our first batch of panhandler spaghetti proved that!) We have searched and found a few key pieces of cast iron to use indoors now, too!

"Seems big, but it's the most useful size", If you are interested in traditional dutch oven cooking (with coals), this is the one to buy. Though not strictly required, having the legs built into the oven is convenient, as it not only saves you from having to prop the oven up on racks or rocks, but also makes it easier to put on a table. The lid, as in all Lodge dutch ovens, is purpose-made to hold coals, and the loop of the lid handle is high enough to stick up well above the coals for use with a lid lifter. It is also a useful size to buy. While it's tempting to go for a smaller dutch oven, the larger sizes hold and spread heat much better and burn less. The 10s and 12s are really the most useful sizes.

Buy it once, keep it forever!

"I love my lodge logics", I have used different brands but when I started using Lodge Logic I threw everything else out. These cook so evenly takes all of the work out of it and so easy to clean my husband doesn't mind to do it

"Lodge quality - now go and cook!", I wanted to try out campfire cooking so I did a little research and purchased this Lodge dutch oven.

Let me first say that I have bought other Lodge cast iron products and they are the "Mercedes" of cast iron cookware. No shortcuts here, just beautiful, functional cast iron products that can be passed down to your children or grandchildren. On to the review...

The pot lid is very, very heavy. The pot itself is beautifully made. The instructions are clear (I recommend you follow them, they are correct). The iron handle is robust enough to take the pot off the fire filled hot food without giving you any concern.

The pot is "pre-seasoned" so all you have to do is give it a quick clean. I usually clean my cast iron products using hot water, a soft plastic brush and a little salt. Not much sticks anyway, but the salt works to give the brush a little "bite", plus I think the salt helps the seasoning a little.

The next step is to make a nice fire about 2 hours ahead of your cook time. The pot is NOT placed on the fire directly, but a few hot coals are dragged away from the fire for cooking.

I place the pot over about 10 hot coals on the botton, and about 20 hot coals on the lid. I turn the lid every 15 minutes or so and replace the coals with new ones about every 45 minutes.

Generally this method will cook a 4-5 pound chicken with a few potatoes, carrots and onions until it "falls off the bone" in about 3 hours.

It's really hard to describe how chicken tastes after being cooked over fire coals. It seems to keep the character flavor of the pot from meal to meal, and tastes ever so slightly smoky. It's very similar to cooking I've tasted in New Zealand where meat and vegetables are wrapped up on palm fronds, place over white hot stones, then buried for about four hours. It just has it's own unique flaor.

I've also cooked chile, leg of lamb and a number of other dishes. They've all been great.

A word of warning. Most people (including myself) can't believe that just a few coals below the pot, and double the number placed on top of the lid, can really cook the contents, but less is truly more in campfire cooking.

If too many coals are used, the food will taste strangely overcooked, but not burned. So best to exercise much restraint.

If you want to try campfire cooking and buy quality that can last for generations, then I say buy this quality pot and go out and cook!



"A Delightful and Effective Little Oven", I purchased one of these several years ago to use in a small woodstove we have, but hadn't had the courage to try it until this weekend. Using the more traditional charcoal briquettes, I successfully baked chicken in it last evening. Today I baked a cherry cobbler, corn bread, and biscuits - all of which could not have turned out better - corn bread and biscuits golden brown top and bottom!! What an enjoyable experience!! I'm now confident that it's up to any task I put to it. Considering a larger 10" Lodge oven for more serious meals and a lid rack.

"Wonderful Service", This wonderful dutch oven came with free shipping, saving me about $25.00 over other sites. It was new and pre seasoned. What more could you ask?

"Excellent piece of iron", This is a wonderful piece of cast iron cookware big enough for an army! Great even heat.

"Lodge Logic ROCKS", This unit is just like all of the other Lodge castings I own. GREAT! The new Lodge Logic seasoning is flawless and even over the entire interior and exterior. Although I miss the "Black Magic" involved in seasoning a new oven myself, you can not beat the convenience & "logic" of a factory applied surface. The deep interior is great for a large rolled roast or a big chicken. Also cooked 24 Grand sized biscuits arranged on their sides in a circle like a wreath. Beautiful. Enjoy! Best Price around, especially with the Free Shipping.

"love this dutch oven", Hello fello dutchoven users. If you are thinking about getting this dutchoven I highly recomend it to everyone. It was worth the shipping and cost. My hubbie really likes to experiment with cooking so he cooked up some shortribs and vegies in this wonderful dutchoven, the meal truned out better than we thought and the food tasted wonderful. This was a gift and the shippers decised the box so he had no Idea what it was. Thanks,


Cynda

"What a beautiful peice of hardware", As has been the case, for me, with all things lodge, the quality of this cast iron cookware is amazing. I didn't really need a dutch oven as large as this one, but when I saw this, I just couldn't resist. So far, I've only used it once (maybe because I just got it???) to make a shortrib recipe and it came out absolutely wonderful. I doubled up on all of the ingredients because I had to justify buying such a large dutch oven. Everything cooked evenly and to perfection.

I've been using cast-iron rather heavily for about four years now and will never look back. Speaking of using it heavily, I must caution you - this thing is "heavy"!!! That is not a negative. It's just to mention that quality is not "free". In any event, you can always use it for doing "curls" when you are not cooking with it. Just kidding all. You will never be sorry if you acquire this cast-iron marvel!!!
