Review of Lodge Enamel on Cast Iron 3 Quart Covered Casserole, Island Spice

I own a nearly identical casserole from Le Creuset and this one from Lodge is nearly indistinguishable.More angular but equally beautiful.

It's important to understand that a casserole is very different from a Dutch oven.It tends to be much shallower, and is more of a braising pan or a roasting pan.Their functions are not typically interchangeable and it would often be a mistake to use a casserole in lieu of a Dutch oven.

This product line from Lodge is simply a great value.Le Creuset should be looking over its shoulder.
