YOUR PREFERRED COVERED CASSEROLE: A perfect combination of style and functionality that never stops. The Lodge Covered Oval Casserole not only enhances the appearance of your kitchen but is a timeless enameled cast iron piece ideal for cooking and serving memorable meals. Use it to broil, braise, bake or roast your favorite dishes in the oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
WHAT IS PORCELAIN ENAMEL ON CAST IRON? It's a glass layer that bonds with the cast iron when exposed to high temperatures. A glass particulate known as frit is applied to the cast iron pot and then baked between 1200 and 1400° F. The frit melts and merges with the cast iron, creating a strong bond. Porcelain enamel on cast iron is resistant to heat and impermeable to water and other substances.
CONVENIENT FOR COOKING AND CLEANING: The porcelain enameled interior has a sleek finish that prevents sticking, promotes caramelization, and resists stains. Although you can clean the enameled cast iron in the dishwasher, it is recommended to hand wash it with warm soapy water and a nylon scrub brush to maintain its excellent condition.
RETAINS HEAT: The cast iron pot evenly distributes and retains heat, ensuring that the bottom and walls heat up consistently. The tightly fitting lid keeps moisture locked in, resulting in delicious pot roasts, stews, or large batches of beans. Additionally, the heat retention properties lead to energy-efficient cooking.
FAMILY-OWNED: Lodge is not just a business; it's a family. The Lodge family established the company in 1896, and they continue to own it to this day. They value environmental responsibility and contribute to community development. The products are made with non-toxic materials that are free from PFOA and PTFE.
