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

This pan heats so evenly and well that I'm able to cook at a much lower setting than with other pans.Clean-up is easy if you've used oil or cooking spray--just a little dish soap gets everything with no scrubbing necessary.The pan's capacity is just right for making a casserole or stew for six but it's not as deep as a traditional dutch oven.I handle with care around my ceramic cooktop because of the weight and because sliding the pan could cause scratches.The color reminds me of "coppertone" kitchen applicances from the 60s, a nice flashback for a Boomer.This pan IS heavy but that will not come as a surprise to anyone who's cooked with cast iron.It's a great pan for either stovetop or oven.Highly recommended.
