Enameled Dutch Ovens for Every Kitchen

For decades, my go-to sauté pan has been a 12-inch Lodge cast iron skillet. It's the only pan that lives on my cooktop, always ready to go, as I use it nearly every day.

So I was thrilled to discover that Lodge had introduced a US-made collection of enameled cast iron Dutch ovens in 2023. I love making stews, roasts, and soups, especially in the wintertime, and these durable, heat-retentive pots add a pop of color and a stylish look to both the stove and the table.

Safe for the fridge, oven, and stovetop, including induction cooktops, these multi-use pots offer a lot of flexibility. And, as my cleaner-upper husband can attest to, the sleek surface makes for an easy clean-up as well.

The Dutch ovens are available in three beautiful colors: red “Cherry on Top,” white “Cloud Nine,” and blue “Smooth Sailing” (not shown in photo) and in four sizes: 3 qt, 4.5 qt, 6qt, 7.5 qt.

Find the Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch ovens at Lodge.com and other cookware retailers.

Save The Tin Foil

Bake Jacques Pépin’s Sausage en Papillote in the Lodge enameled cast iron Dutch oven (minus the tin foil). It comes out just as delicious! Find the recipe video in Lessons From Jacques Pépin.

I cooked the broccoli and zucchini separately since the green veggies needed less cooking time. However, you can mix them in half way through and use one large dutch oven (pictured above are the 7.5 qt red and 3 qt white). Photo: Lisa Denning.
