Lodge coats the entire surface of the oven with a proprietary vegetable oil formula, then bakes the oil onto the utensil in a hot industrial oven

The high temperature allows the oil to penetrate deeply into the cast iron surface, creating that prized heirloom finish

Deep walls give this 8 qt., footed Dutch oven extra capacity—ideal for stews or meats

Durable cast iron cookware offers superior distribution and retention of heat

Oven and lid have handles for convenience; flanged lid fits snugly to seal in heat
