Pros & Cons
Pros
The enamel coating is very nice. The lid has a metal knob (important). I'm on sourdough loaf 5 and i always preheat to 500 f.
Cooks evenly and very easy to clean. Great for applesauce, cooking meats, meatballs, and pulled pork. The only downside is the surface area at the base.
Verry happy with the product (a softer creamy white vs stark white). She was thrilled with the beautiful colour and large size of the pot. I choose the oyster white as it’s a nice neutral colour to match my other dishes. It's incredibly solid and quit... Read More
Cons
The lid is, in fact, not self-basting (as advertised). Enamel was heavily chipped on the inside at delivery. The black rim on the pot is matte porcelain, not exposed cast iron.

Highlights
Quality
It is well made, eat to clean, and the food cooks really evenly.
Very heavy, sturdy and a nice colour.
This thing is built like a tank and can cook anything.
Missing paint at the rim of the pot
Price
Excellent price for a lodge dutch oven.
Good value made my first loaf of artisan bread.
Great price point and i may purchase one for myself.
Shipping
Ordered during prime day, and still came quite quickly.
Packaging/appearance
Purchased red lodge coated cast iron dutch oven (6 qrt) - came double boxed which ensured no damage.
Well packaged, beautiful solid finish, and great red colour.
Competitiveness
I've used many in my life and this easily compares with the best at a 1/3 of the cost.
You may decide to spend two to three times as much for the european named alternatives, but functionally thislodge pot is their equal.
This dutch oven has metal that is thicker than another one that i have from a well known brand - i like that.
