Just Ordered This From Lodge

[RichieB]

Always wanted an enamel cast iron dutch oven. For Prime Days it was 30% off. Could kick myself but I didn't buy. Now it's 13% off. Better than no discount. The 1st recipe is already decided on. Chicken and Dumplings from Ree Drummond.

Have fun with your new acquisition!

Good find, we have one and use it all the time. Very durable.

[MT_Cinnabear]

I have one and it works perfectly fine. As much as I’d like a LeCrueset I just can’t justify the price.

[RichieB]

+1. All my C.I. are Lodge and no complaints.

[Jim White]

You will love it. I use mine all the time.

[Porkies]

I used mine for bread but then I wanted a bigger one. I bought the regular CI dutch oven and use it for bread now. The enameled is now used for beans and chili mostly.

Porkies that's my next bake in the new D.I. Found this

Chicken and dumplings are a good choice.
Pictures too.

[RichieB]

That's a given. All I need is the pot and a chicken.

[DavidNorcross]

Let us know how this works for you. I have considered one for some time.

[Michael_in_TX]

I am sure you'll enjoy it. Even with all the heft of the thing, I use mine quite frequently. (Made chili in it yesterday, in fact.)

I may be replacing mine shortly. After 20 years, the enamel is starting to flake off on the lid.

Well played RichieB

And the next time you see 30% off, buy it, makes a great gift……

[Redwng]

You will love it and kick yourself you didn't get it sooner.

[barelfly]

Excellent! You will enjoy using it! I have three that get used regularly!

[rickgregory]

I have that same one. Nice unit.

[bmillin]

You will love it. I find that a lot of recipes that call for simmering work better in the oven at around 325 - chili, stew, etc..
