Not what I expected, but I am pleased Jul 09, 2010
By Benjamin A Wolf After baking bread a few times and making a cobbler in the product, I can say it performs well. I purchased this item because I was concerned about baking with my Le Creuset dishes in a hot (500 deg F) oven. The ornamental stainless steel handle is surprisingly functional as well as heat resistant. The stainless inserts in the handles are a waste - frankly they look goofy on a cast iron product. I wish they had saved that cost and kept manufacturing in the USA.
That gets to my subtraction of a star. I didn't even think to look for a country of origin on a Lodge product. I was really disappointed when this one turned out to be made in China. Lodge has advertised American manufacturing for years, so I didn't even think to look. Hopefully the paint is safe!
If I need another cast iron vessel, I will buy Le Creuset again and plan on a homemade handle replacement if the polymer one ever burns up.
Chipped lid after first use Aug 28, 2011
By BarbieP This is a really nice pot, but I put the lid in the dish rack after washing it the first time and the enamel chipped where it touched the plastic (at the screw underneath the lid.) I love Lodge and have many of their cast iron pans, but this will probably be the only enamel pot I buy from them.
