Plus pot protectors.
What is included
Lodge’s oval enameled Dutch oven, with an enameled lid, stainless steel knob and loop handles, and pot protectors; Lodge pitches it for cooking for a big crowd. Lodge gives it as 15.56 inches long with its handles and 16.36 lb. Its page also lists a height of 12.43 inches, which can’t be right for a 7-quart pot this size, so we leave the height out until Lodge corrects it. The 500°F oven limit is given for the pot; Lodge names no separate limit for the lid. Lodge recommends hand washing and no metal utensils, and says it is not made for the grill or a fire.
