Lodge EC4D43 Details

A lively addition to any cook's collection, this Lodge EC4D43 4.5 qt. red enameled cast iron dutch oven combines the benefits of cast iron with the beauty of porcelain enamel. Creating cookware, like this, since 1896, Lodge has a rich history of an unparalleled dedication to quality, technology, and its employees. This piece in particular is perfect for baking in, with superior heat retention and even heating. The vibrant enamel surface is resistant to acidic and alkaline foods and can be used to marinate and refrigerate without reacting to the cookware. This Dutch oven is right at home on induction, ceramic, electric, and gas cooktops - even in your oven up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.

Like traditional cast iron cookware, porcelain enameled cookware starts out being cast in the traditional method; however, after this process, a glass particulate called "frit" is applied and the cookware is baked in ovens between 1200 and 1400 degrees Fahrenheit to transform the frit into a smooth porcelain surface that is bonded to the iron. There is no exposed cast iron on the finished product - the black cooking surface and rims are matte porcelain.

Frequently Asked Questions From Customers

What is the best way to care for Lodge cookware?
While the porcelain finish is hard, it can be chipped if banged or dropped. Interior protection must be used to prevent chipping if cookware is stacked. For added longevity, pre-heat and cool your cookware gradually. Do not use in the microwave, on outdoor grills, or over campfires. Although dishwasher safe, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended to preserve the cookware's original appearance.

I just started cooking with enamel coded cast iron cookware and I am hooked! If you watch any cooking show this is what the pros are using. The heat evenly and hold that heat. They are quite heavy though. A cleaning tip...use a magic eraser sponge and they clean up fast and easy!

This is the second one I have purchased from Webstaurant. Very fast shipping and a great price! I use these small Dutch ovens for bread pans. May sound a little crazy to some people but, you get a crunch in the crust that is WONDERFUL ! This size is perfect for a single loaf. The cast iron with a lid also holds in all the moisture so that 3 days latter the bread is as moist in the middle as when it came out of the oven. Thanks again. OldfartHastings

Super heavy weight holds and distributes even heat for all of your dutch oven recipes. It’s easy to clean and the blue finish looks great in our kitchen.

This Dutch oven is a bit larger than I expected (and heavy), but it is well constructed and did a great job for the soup I made. The large capacity will be appreciated when braising meat for stews and such.

I bought this for my daughter for her college apartment use. She uses it constantly and has even learned to make bread with it. It's much more affordable than my Le Creuset and works just as well.

This Dutch oven from Lodge is a great alternative to more expensive, I would say overpriced, enameled cast iron products. It works great and the colors are amazing. Highly recommended.

Excellent enameled cast iron. Perfect size and holds oven temperature. Bought this almost ten years ago and it is still going strong. The enamel is very sturdy and doesn’t chip.

i use this all the time for braising and especially for baking bread. it holds heat super well and because of the enamel coating, its easy to clean. no need to spend 4 times as much for the expensive french versions. these are just great.

Out of all my dutch ovens, this is my favorite. It’s huge. I use it outside on the grill, in the oven, on the stove top, in the fridge, and serve from it on the table. Due to it’s mass, this pot holds heat very well, even when a burner is cycling on and off. It cleans up super easily too. I would give this more than 5 stars if possible. Get one.

We received this enamel dutch oven ordered from Webstaurant as a gift. We have used it several times already to simmer cubes of beef chuck. While it takes a few minutes to come up to temperature, once the intended temperature is met, this dutch oven really maintains even heat. Nothing was burnt! Additionally, it cleaned pretty well too! Just make sure not to use metal cooking utensils, as they may scratch the enameled surface.

Got one of these for my brother, who recently started making risotto on the regular. It's perfect for two servings of risotto, which is generally all he makes, but has plenty of room to do things like saute onions.
