It depends on how you are planning to use it. I have used it in the oven to make stews and it worked out great. The instructions say that it can withstand temperatures up to 400F. However, I am not sure how well roasting would work.

Yes. The shape is perfect to serve as a Dutch oven and it is pretty heavy as well.

I have put mine in the oven, but I used a foil lid cause I didn't want to risk the glass/plastic of the lid which also fits other pans I have. The lid handles are a bit flimsy.. but the pot itself should be no problem.

Not really, no.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_ovenhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Creuset

I would say that yes would be the answer - it is a marvelous pot to cook with!

I don't know. I don't know why it would be a problem. The dutch oven is heavy, but I think as long as you are careful, it doesn't matter that the cook top is glass. Maybe there is something about glass stove tops in the literature that comes with the product, or maybe with the glass top stove.

I usually use my cast iron skillet, but I am sure it would be okay in the dutch oven too...

Yes the pots themselves will hold up in the oven and perform well, but not the covers as the temperature gauge on top is plastic.

It may, I am not for sure. I was very unhappy with the one I purchased as it caused black spots on my stove (it caused a lot of extra cleaning) and it collected slag inside that I had to shake out. I do not recommend this item. Checkout the 8" Heat Tamer/Burner Plate by Nordic Ware, they are awesome and they will handle your dutch oven. I have used my 7 qt enameled dutch over with no problem many times. I found that I need only turn my burner (electric) to #3 and the meal (after initial prep) turns out great.

Sorry I have not used this pot in the oven only on top the stove. I would get the manufacture to answer that and if they say it will hold up then I would use it in the oven. Other than that we are very happy with this pot.

Yes, the Lodge dutch oven is made out of cast iron and will work on an induction cooktop.

I wouldn't. The total weight of that cast iron might bend the shaft. Plus the shank isn't deep enough and it might topple over. I love this item but it's not meant for a Dutch oven.

I believe it is oven safe to 450. I don't think I would go that high. Should work well as a Dutch oven. I love it. very even cooking. Makes great chili.

I have the 'regular' 5 quart Lodge dutch oven, but I can easily see how this would be much better. Currently I take the dutch oven out of a 500 degree oven and drop the dough into it. Generally, I miss 'dead center' and some of the dough lands against the side and turns black during baking. With this, the whole process could be done with the oven 'upside down'. Sliding the dough onto the lid, it should be a cinch to get it centered every time.

I don't know of any info for oven use. As a stock pot, it is for stove top use. Sorry.

I haven't used it as a Dutch oven, but I don't see why not. There is nothing to burn or melt on the unit. My only concern is that the lid and higher portion of the sides are steel and may not transmit the heat quite the same way a Dutch oven would - I think it should work fine

I have owned this fantastic pot for well over a decade. I don't use it the oven however I don't know why you couldn't. I use it for cooking chili. You won't own a better quality pot.

Yes it is. I recommend putting the lid at the bottom and then the Dutch oven in top of the lid. That way the legs won't tear the cover with time. At the same time you give the Dutch oven ventilation. I have had mine for two years with good amount of use back and forth and have not had a problem.
