What is included
Lodge’s enameled Dutch oven made in the USA, which Lodge says is the first enameled cast iron of its kind made on US soil; the knob and other hardware are imported. It comes with its lid. Lodge gives it as 13.44 inches long with its handles, 7.23 inches high and 13.21 lb, more than its Essential Enamel 4.5-quart, which is made in China or Vietnam and weighs 12.38 lb. 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.
