Lodge Essential Enamel Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 7.5 qt, Indigo
The same Lodge quality in a size Le Creuset charges over $500 for. Seven and a half quarts swallows a whole chicken, a double batch of stew, or Sunday sauce for a crowd, and the deep indigo enamel is one of the prettiest blues in any cookware line at any price. If you cook for four or more, or you batch-cook and freeze, this is the smarter size — and the price difference against the equivalent Le Creuset pays for a whole set of linen napkins.
Let's buy this →Good to know: It's a big, heavy pot (around 17 lbs loaded lid) — think about where it will live, because it won't be a cabinet you lift it out of daily.
