Lodge’s Budget-Friendly Dutch Oven That Made Our Best List Just Got More Affordable (It’s on Sale for Prime Day!)

Dutch ovens are one of the most important pieces of cookware you can own in our eyes. The kitchen workhorse is a must-have item for novice and pro chefs alike, and there are very few pieces that can do it all quite like a good Dutch oven can, from searing proteins and browning meat to caramelizing veggies and slow-cooking a stew. When it comes to Dutch ovens, we’re all familiar with the amazing brands that have mastered the art of crafting the perfect Dutch oven, like tried-and-true Le Creuset. However, for those unsure if they’ll actually use a Dutch oven as much as they’ve been led to believe (Spoiler Alert: You will!), shelling out several hundred dollars on a single piece of cookware can seem like a big commitment.

Enter: Lodge’s Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. With over 26,000 five-star reviews on Amazon (seriously!), there’s no question that this baby is a kitchen staple worth trying — especially because select colors of the 6-quart model are on sale during Amazon Prime Day for as low as $80.

Plus, the whole thing is stovetop-safe and oven-safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit, with easy-to-grab side handles and lid for safe and seamless cooking. This reliable Dutch oven even made it onto our Kitchn tools Best List.

If there was ever a time to try cooking with a Dutch oven, it’s during the fall. The piece goes hand-in-hand with some of our favorite hearty fall recipes, such as braised short ribs, French onion chicken, pumpkin soup, and garlic mashed potatoes. As one reviewer raves, “I wish I’d invested in one of these a long time ago. It is NOTHING like using regular pots. I don’t have to turn my burners up as high, it heats so evenly, no hotspots, no burning, no cold centers.” The reviewer also added, “I went slow and low with my sauce today, and it came out better than it has ever come out. Cleanup was a breeze and I was able to make a giant batch and freeze most of it after dinner. If you are like me and need an ‘entry-level’ enameled cast iron, GET THIS. It was worth every penny.”

Are you convinced yet? You certainly should be with how amazing the prices are right now for Prime Day. Jump on this major deal on Lodge’s Dutch oven while you still can!
