One Pan, Endless Possibilities

Imagine pulling a perfectly bronzed roast chicken from the oven, its skin crackling with promise, then flipping the lid to reveal golden cornbread baked to perfection on your stovetop. That's the magic of Lodge's Double Dutch Oven; two exceptional pieces of cast iron cookware that work independently or together, giving you the freedom to cook like you've always dreamed.

This isn't just another pot. It's 26cm of American heritage craftsmanship that's been perfecting the art of cast iron since 1896. The genius lies in the reversible lid: a deep skillet on one side, a shallow pan on the other. Use it as a lid for slow-braised lamb shanks, flip it over to sear steaks, or bake bread in the base while frying eggs on top. It's the kind of versatility that transforms how you move around the kitchen.

Why You'll Love Cooking with It

Two tools, endless possibilities - The 5-quart base handles everything from beef bourguignon to no-knead sourdough, while the reversible 26cm skillet-lid means you're essentially getting three pieces of premium cookware. Braise, bake, fry, sear, sauté, all with heirloom-quality cast iron that only gets better with age.

Pre-seasoned and ready to go - Forget the fuss. Lodge seasons every piece at the foundry with 100% vegetable oil, so you can start cooking the moment it arrives. The natural, easy-release finish improves with each use, building layers of flavour and a patina that tells your cooking story.

Heat that works for you - Cast iron's legendary heat retention means even cooking from edge to centre, no hot spots, no surprises. Whether you're slow cooking a ragu on the stovetop, finishing a frittata under the grill, or cooking damper over the campfire, this Dutch oven holds steady heat like nothing else.

Built for real life (and the outdoors) - Oven-safe to any temperature, induction-compatible, and equally at home on the BBQ or over coals. The integrated handles and helper grips make it easy to move from hob to oven to table, even when it's loaded with a Sunday roast.

FAQs

Is the Double Dutch Oven heavy?
Yes, like all cast iron, it has weight, but this is what gives it incredible heat retention. The helper handles make lifting safer and easier.

Do I need to season it before use?
No, it comes professionally pre-seasoned. Just rinse, dry and start cooking.

Can I use metal utensils?
Yes! Cast iron is tough and can handle metal tools.

Is it suitable for glass or ceramic stovetops?
You can use it but lift instead of sliding to protect your cooktop.

Does the seasoning wear off?
Seasoning improves over time. If it dulls, simply rub with oil and heat to refresh it.

Hand wash and dry immediately, even before first use.
Rub with a light coat of vegetable oil after every wash.
How much oil? Enough to restore the sheen, without being 'sticky.' Why? To keep the iron 'seasoned' and protected from moisture.
It's okay to use a little soap when needed, just make sure you dry thoroughly and apply a little oil afterwards.

A Note on Pre-Seasoning & Natural Variations

Lodge cast iron arrives pre-seasoned with 100% vegetable oil, and because this is a natural, hand-applied seasoning (not a synthetic coating), every piece will look slightly different straight out of the box. You may notice small marks, tonal variations, or areas where the seasoning appears lighter or darker. This is completely normal and simply reflects how the oil has settled and dried on the racks during the seasoning process.

As you cook, your pan will continue to build its own seasoning layer, becoming darker, smoother, and more naturally non-stick over time. These are signs that your cookware is bedding in beautifully and gaining character with every meal. With regular use and a light oiling after cleaning, your pan will only get better, stronger, and more uniquely yours.

What Makes Lodge Different?

For over 125 years, Lodge has been casting iron cookware in Tennessee using time-honoured methods and sustainable practices. Every piece is made in the USA, built to last generations, and designed to become the pan your grandchildren fight over. This is cookware with soul, the kind that earns its place on your stovetop and in your family's stories.
