Attention CA Residents:

Customer questions about this product

How can I properly care for cast iron surfaces?

In order to prevent unwanted build-up of oils, grease, and food, surfaces should be cleaned after use while still slightly warm. Harsh chemicals or scouring pads should not be used—only hot water and a cloth or sponge are needed. If some areas require extra cleaning, a mild scouring pad can be used.

How is Lodge's pre-seasoned cookware seasoned?

All of Lodge's pre-seasoned cookware is seasoned with soy-based vegetable oil. No peanut oil or animal fat is used.

My new cast iron feels rough in some areas. Is this normal?

Yes. This is a result of the sand casting process. With use and replenishment of the seasoning, the pan will become smoother. Unlike other types of cookware, Lodge Cast Iron only gets better with use. For concerns about roughness, it is OK to use a fine grade of sandpaper to smooth out the rough areas. Make sure to re-season the item before using.

Great, heavy duty dutch oven. It's a Lodge, so you already know the quality. I use this all the time for braising meat, cooking beans and even baking bread inside. It came pre-seasoned, but i still season it from time to time anyway, so cleanup is never a hassle. This can be a little unwieldy when taking it out of the oven full of food since its already very heavy, but the spring handle stays relatively cool and provides a good surface to grip. Dont forget to use a heavy towel to grip it, or the heat will still come through.

Lodge dutch oven is sturdy and reliable. Cast iron will last you a lifetime and while the pre-seasoning isn't the greatest, over time it should develop great seasoning. Only wish it has handles on the sides as well.

Excellent product. In fact, I find every Lodge cast iron to be excellent. Heats well and evenly, though slow since it is cast iron. This thing is a beast for cooking beans. Cannot recommend it highly enough!

The 9 qt. pre-seasoned cast iron dutch oven is perfect for cooking large quantities of chili, soup or anything your heart may desire. It is very heavy and the quality is unsurpassed. The clean up is quite easy and the price is amazing. You can't expect nothing less from Lodge. I would recommend!

Came seasoned well. We were not quite happy with the handle but it honestly still deserves five stars. This competitively priced product could not be passed up by our company. 100% quality!

Very sturdy dutch oven that will last a long time. The handle is solid and the coil will keep it cool. I've used this on the BBQ and in the oven to do various dishes. It makes a great jambalaya and deep fryer with the mesh basket thats available. the 9qt size is quite wide to hold large meats or lots of everything else. The lid I think will even fit on the 13.25" skillet and has the self basting spikes to drip any moisture that builds up back onto the food. The weight of the lid also makes a decent seal keeping things from drying out. And of course a great price at Webstaurant.

Pefect for over a campfire or fireplace. In more than a decade of outdoor cooking experience, Lodge has never failed me. Top quality at a fair price.
