 2 Quart Size Is Excellent for 2 People |

I like to cook with Dutch Ovens. I also like to experiment with new recipes that are not necessarily designed for a Dutch Oven. I have four other Dutch Ovens: Two 12 inch, one 10 inch and a 14 inch. Over the years I have done my experimental recipes in one of the larger ovens. This is fine if everything works correctly and I have 6 to 8 people to feed, but for much smaller groups and/or bad results, I like the smaller oven.
Within a day of receiving the oven I tried a dessert recipe, but cut the amount by three quarters. Although it came out good, it still made six servings, but this was better than the 24 servings the full recipe made. My wife and I had dessert for three nights. I have now used it at least a dozen times in the past month for cooking everything from desserts, game hens, roasts and homemade spaghetti sauce. I am thinking of buying a second, and a friend (a Dutch Oven cook) is looking at acquiring one for himself.
For small groups, couples, etc, this 8 inch Dutch Oven is an excellent addition to anyone's Dutch Oven and cast iron cookware collection.
One final note: All of the cooking was done in an outside BBQ area designed for Dutch Oven cooking using charcoal. |
Could not be more pleased

Bought this specifically for camping. Took it out for the first time and cooked cornbread. Excellent results, nicely browned all over and no sticking whatsoever. My wife commented how surprised she was with the even browning.
A note-I did season it again once I got it as I have found the factory seasoning to be less than ideal on other preseasoned lodge fry pans and ovens. |
A Delightful and Effective Little Oven

| I purchased one of these several years ago to use in a small woodstove we have, but hadn't had the courage to try it until this weekend. Using the more traditional charcoal briquettes, I successfully baked chicken in it last evening. Today I baked a cherry cobbler, corn bread, and biscuits - all of which could not have turned out better - corn bread and biscuits golden brown top and bottom!! What an enjoyable experience!! I'm now confident that it's up to any task I put to it. Considering a larger 10" Lodge oven for more serious meals and a lid rack. |
The Sweetest Thing!!!

| This is the cutest dutch oven and so functional. My kids are all grown and it just me and grumpy, I mean hubby now :) and I don't always need a big pot. I absolutely love this little dutch oven. It works when almost anything for 2-3 people or side items like cobbler and cornbread for more people. It's packaged well and constructed well, yet a bit pricy, but you can't find this size just anywhere. I say buy it. I'm happy I did. |
Lodge #8 Dutch Oven

Like all Lodge cast iron products, this dutch oven meets my expectations. I cooked an enchilada casserole the weekend after I received it and everything came out perfectly. The DO is easy to keep and easy to clean. I also have a #10, and three Lodge skillets. I couldn't camp without my Lodge cast iron.
I would recommend this product to anyone. |
