A Simple Tool That Ranks Among the Best

A simple cast iron dutch oven, like the one your grandmother used, still ranks as one of the best cooking utensils ever made. It gives you a nearly non-stick surface without the possible harmful fumes generated by preheating chemically treated nonstick cookware. Just pure cast iron and oil—no PFAS, no PTFE, no synthetic coatings.

Built to Last Generations

Lodge doesn't just make cast iron—they make heirlooms that bring people together for generations. With proper care, this 7-quart dutch oven will serve your family for decades, developing a better seasoning and non-stick surface with each use. It's an investment in quality that pays dividends with every meal.

Care Instructions

Hand wash with warm water and dry thoroughly. Apply a light coating of oil after each use. The pre-seasoned surface is ready to use and will improve with each cooking session. Avoid harsh detergents and dishwashers to preserve the seasoning.
