A lively addition to any cook's collection, this Lodge EC3D43 3 qt. red enameled cast iron dutch oven combines the benefits of cast iron with the beauty of porcelain enamel. Creating cookware, like this, since 1896, Lodge has a rich history of an unparalleled dedication to quality, technology, and its employees. This piece in particular is perfect for baking in, with superior heat retention and even heating. The vibrant enamel surface is resistant to acidic and alkaline foods and can be used to marinate and refrigerate without reacting to the cookware. This Dutch oven is right at home on induction, ceramic, electric, and gas cooktops - even in your oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Like traditional cast iron cookware, porcelain enameled cookware starts out being cast in the traditional method; however, after this process, a glass particulate called "frit" is applied and the cookware is baked in ovens between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit to transform the frit into a smooth porcelain surface that is bonded to the iron. There is no exposed cast iron on the finished product - the black cooking surface and rims are matte porcelain.
