We bought this to bake our sourdough bread and it did not disappoint! The main thing to remember when cooking in an enamel coated pan is that you cannot preheat them empty, I just put a couple of inches of water to preheat and then dump it out right before adding my food
In a side by side comparison the The Lodge's capacity is 6 qt vs Le Creuset 6-3/4 qt. Lodges porcelain finish is not as smooth, it has more orange peel compared to Le Creuset both inside and out. Both have fairly large handles and I actually preferred the handles on the Lodge compared to the Le Creuset a little more room for larger hands. Le Creuset had straighter sides which added a little more cooking surface on the bottom of the pot compared to the Lodge which had a more curved side reducing the overall cooking surface slightly so you may have to sear more batches. The Lodge Dutch oven had a more domed lid compared to the Le Creuset which had a flatter lid. The Le Creuset gives you a little edge in overall height if your oven is tight on space. As you can tell from my comparison it was more nit picking then anything else when comparing the two. While the Lodge is not a Le Creuset in it's fit and finish it is also 5 times less expensive and performs just as well in my opinion. You can't go wrong with the Lodge porcelain enamel dutch oven.
We have always like our Lodge cast iron pans. WE have had them for years. Using them inside and outside. When the enameled cast iron came out we bought 2, a red 3.5 quart and an red oval one. We used them all the time. So when we decided to go for a larger pan and we wanted an enamel one. I wanted another red one but after seeing some cooking shows I ordered a green one. I love it. we have used it at least 2 times a week for soups, chili, pot roast. It works beautifully. From oven to burners. I am careful because in the past the enamel has chipped. So I am careful with putting the top on and off and placing it on the shelf. I give it a ten.
When the dutch oven arrived it looked like it had suffered a fall or had been knocked around because a large part of the enamel was chipping off. Be wary of ordering when Walmart packages a heavy (yet somewhat fragile) object in nothing but a cardboard box.
I have an expensive similar pan but bought this for a vacation home so didn't want to spend a fortune. I've used it on top of the stove and in the oven and it cooks and bakes beautifully, every bit as well as my expensive one. I just got it so I can't speak to it's durability over time but it seems very well made, was a great bargain, and looks nice, too. I got the brown and it's a coppery color that looks nice in my kitchen. Product arrived on time and packaged well.
