Lodge Enamel Cast-iron Apple Pot

One of the reasons that cast iron cookware is not for everyone is because not everyone likes ‘seasoning’ their cast iron cookware. This is why the great people at Lodge decided to counter this problem by making an enamel-coated cookware line. The Lodge Enamel Cast-iron Apple Pot is part of that line.

Very Even Heating

My mother’s glossy red apple-shaped pot works great on the stove top and in the oven and its thermal properties is amazing. The pot is best used on low to medium heat on the stove top or any temperature under 500°F in the oven and it does a great job at distributing the heat evenly.

Due to this property, the Lodge Enamel Cast-iron Apple Pot can work as good as a slow cooker. This pot is particularly great for any bean dishes. It may take a while for it to heat up but once it gets to the optimum temperature, it will slow-cook your dish to perfection. After cooking, it will keep your dish warm so that you can go back for seconds!

Easy To Clean

After a long time cooking your dish, the underside of the lid will get messy with dried-on liquid and the ingredients will leave a cooked-on ring. It is usually difficult to clean these messes but with this apple-shaped Dutch oven, the mess can be easily wiped off. Oh, do be reminded that it is best to wash it by hand and use mild dish soap.

This cast iron pot has only one negative point: it is very heavy. This may be hard for someone who has arthritis or tendonitis to transfer a full pot from the stove to the oven. Despite this small hiccup, the Lodge Enamel Cast-Iron Apple Pot is a great buy from Amazon.

I have also reviewed other cast iron cookware such as the Lodge Pro-logic 14-inch Cast-iron Wok and Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned 10-1/2-Inch Round Griddle. For tips on how to care for cast iron cookware, click here.
