Nestled alongside the Cumberland Plateau of the Appalachian Mountains is the town of South Pittsburgh, Tennessee in the U.S.A (population 3,300). It was here that Joseph Lodge and his wife settled and, in 1896 opened his first foundry. They created a legacy of quality that has thrived through two World Wars and the Great Depression and is still carried on by his family today. Both the CEO and Chairman are Joseph Lodge?s great-grandsons who continue to evolve the product line and improve manufacturing methods. While many worthy competitors have fallen by the wayside, Lodge?s dedication to quality, technology, and employees have helped it not only survive but flourish.
Some tips from the team at Lodge:
Cooking with enamelled cast iron::
An enamelled Dutch oven is one of the most versatile cooking tools you can own! Use it on the stove and in the oven up to 260 degrees Celsius, or safely store it in your fridge to marinate food or refrigerate leftovers. Plus, the durable enamelled surface can handle acidic and alkaline ingredients like tomatoes, wines, and citrus ingredients.
To start, choose a burner closest to the size of your Dutch oven and preheat with a little oil before adding food. Don?t preheat an empty Dutch oven on your stovetop this can cause your cookware to crack or break. Some bread recipes call for preheating the Dutch oven in the oven. This is perfectly safe to do since the heat will be more consistently distributed across the entire Dutch oven.
Just like with all of Lodges classic cast iron cookware, enamelled cast iron has great heat retention, so there?s no need to cook over a high heat. Stick to a low to medium heat for best results! This prevents burnt food and stuck-on messes.
As you cook, use wooden, silicone, or nylon utensils to stir, blend, or flip your food. This will protect the enamel finish from being scratched during the cooking process.
Cleaning enamelled cast iron:
Allow your enamelled piece to cool, then use a gentle dish soap and reach for a scrub brush, scrub cloth, or pan scraper to easily remove food from the cooking surface. Technically, enamelled cast iron is dishwasher safe, but to best preserve your piece?s finish, Lodge recommend hand washing your cookware. After you clean, dry your cookware completely before storing.
Please note: a small amount of staining is to be expected with enamelled cookware and does not affect performance.
Storing enamelled cast iron:
Before you store, make sure your enamelled cast iron has been dried completely and use pot protector to prevent moisture buildup and chipping.
