Lodge cast-iron cookware has long been admired for its superior heat retention and even heat distribution, but now the company adds another enticement with its Lodge Logic line. All Lodge Logic cookware, including this 8-quart camping Dutch oven, comes preseasoned via a proprietary "electrostatic" vegetable-oil spray system and is ready for cooking right out of the box--unlike traditional Lodge cookware, which needs seasoning in your home oven before use. During the timesaving preseasoning process, oil penetrates deeply into the cast-iron surface while a high-temperature gas oven seals it in, preserving the cookware for generations and creating an attractive heirloom finish.
The Dutch oven measures 12 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep--an ideal size for making a large batch of stew or outdoor casserole. The vessel is also suited for boiling water, making rice, or heating up soup, as its cast-iron material delivers a smooth, consistent temperature without wasting heat. The pan's esteemed heat retention particularly enhances slow-cooking recipes that call for tender meats and rich, seasoned flavors. As with all of Lodge's camping cookware, the bottom of the pan includes integral legs for campfire and fireplace cooking. In addition, the flanged lid can hold hot coals or be inverted for use as a griddle, letting campers enjoy their morning flapjacks and sausages. With proper care, Lodge Logic cast-iron cookware will last a lifetime. Lodge recommends hand washing the oven, which carries a lifetime warranty, with a stiff brush and hot water.
Seasoned and ready to use. This 8 quart portable "camp stove" is the pot that does it all. Flanged lid for hot coals inverts for use as griddle. Integral legs on oven for campfire and fireplace cooking. 12 inch diameter, 5 inch deep
