Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 4-Quart Dutch Oven with Iron Cover
Customer Review: Took away one star on the "pre-seasoned' part.
Summary: 3 Stars
(THREE AND A HALF STARS) First of all let me say I love cast iron! I have two skillets that were handed down from my husband's Mother and they have been seasoned for probably 30 years so maybe that has spoiled me. Slick as a whistle!!
Of course I did not expect a new preseasoned pot to match those lovely heirloom pans that have cooked thousands of country meals. That being said, in my opinion, the "preseasoning" on this new Dutch oven is a little too rough (as in bumpy sprayed on) for my liking, and the lid was BADLY mottled on the underneath side. The lid was also not quite black and did not match the pot. For the price I expected a little better. I am now reseasoning it in my oven and I'm sure it will be great after some of the "roughness" goes away. I have used it three times so far and I have had no problem with sticking but I will definately work towards smoothing it out. Can't complain one bit about how great it cooks, BUT it seems to me that a smoother surface will result in better nonstick abilities. Therefore I am reseasoning the pot. Something to note as well is that after purchasing this 4 quart I noticed that the 5 quart here on Amazon is A LOT less expensive. I would have gone with that one had I done my homework properly. I can see how this 4 quart will be good for a lot of things, but is it worth the extra $$ and couldn't a gal (or guy) do the same thing in a 5 quart if you don't mind the extra weight?
Bottom line: I would buy the regular old unseasoned pot and season it myself if I could. Cook's Illustrated said that Lodge no longer makes the non preseasoned pans because more people like the pre-seasoned. NOT ME! Call me "old fashioned". I did read a review on another Lodge pan here on Amazon where the lady said to run it through the oven on the self cleaning cycle to remove the "factory" finish and start over.
Description of Lodge Logic Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron 4-Quart Dutch Oven with Iron Cover
The one thing that probably discourages more people from purchasing and using cast iron is maintenance. Like carbon steel woks, cast iron cooking pieces require "seasoning." To many this is a mysterious or overly time-consuming process. Even if you treasure fond memories of eggs and pancakes cooked in grandmother's ancient, blackened skillet, you might have no idea how to turn your new pan into such a treasure. Fortunately Lodge has come out with the new Logic line, which has been evenly coated on all surfaces with an electrostatic spray of vegetable oil. Next the cookware is put into an extremely high temperature industrial oven which bakes the coating into the surface. Not only will you be spared the time and effort of seasoning, but also the new piece you buy will look and perform better than if you had seasoned it at home. Just like that heirloom pan you will find that even pineapple upside down cake doesn't stick to this surface. This is and ideal pot for cooking up chili, beef stew, and bean soups.Dutch Ovens
