The Lodge Dutch Oven That Holds Its Own Against Le Creuset Is Just $80 for Prime Day

I love finding budget-friendly alternatives to pricier items. Case in point: the Lodge 6-Quart Dutch Oven. When we put Lodge’s oven head-to-head with Le Creuset’s, it was determined that they could compete on the same level. That’s right — the Lodge Dutch oven can hold its own next to more expensive brands, and now through July 11, it’s on sale for Amazon Prime Day. 

Right now, the Lodge Dutch oven is discounted 20% off, which brings the price down from $99.90 to $79.98. That’s a big difference when you could pay over $300 for other brands. So, read on to hear why we love it (and why you will, too!).

“It hits all the marks. Great for baking my sourdough bread. Perfect size for a big batch of chili. The cast iron conducts slow, even heat so burning isn’t an issue. And I love the enamel coating; so much easier to clean. Plus I got the green one and it’s gorgeous!” —Pat E

“Can’t really tell the difference between this and our LeCreuset, other than this being 1/5 the price. I wanted a nice pot for baking sourdough where I wouldn’t be bothered if it got tarnished (500°F temp for sourdough). Done three loaves and it’s working like a champ. Any marks clean right off. Great price, renowned brand, and quick shipping.” —Michael G

“Game changer! Great quality Dutch oven that is heavy, and well-made. 6 quart just the right size for a slow-cooked meal for 4, including seconds.” —ChristiJ
