Lodge 5 Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven: A New Kitchen Favorite

Dutch ovens are popular because they're durable, versatile, and affordable. You can use them for baking bread or making a stew for your family. This Lodge 5 Quart Cast Iron Dutch Oven is no exception. It has all the features you want from a cast iron Dutch oven.

It comes pre-seasoned with vegetable oil so you can start cooking right away. The lid fits snugly on top of the pot to trap moisture inside while cooking, keeping food moist and flavorful (and free of smoke!).

This Dutch oven weighs 13 pounds when empty. However, it may feel lighter than other brands due to its evenly distributed weight throughout the entire piece of cookware—no heavy spots that cause strain when lifting!
