Lodge doesn't make a 4qt enamel Dutch oven do they?. This label is wrong...it's a 4.5qt isn't it?

I just measured mine at 5 qts filled to within one inch of the brim.I'm disappointed in the poor quality of enamel coverage with rust spots inside the brim. "Made in China" stamped on the bottom may have something to do with that! :(

It is 4.5 quart and I like the quality it is made in China but it is very nice and at a good price. Hope this helps. ,Ron

Our Lodge enamel Dutch oven is labeled 4.5 qt on the bottom. I used water to measure its capacity and it willin fact hold 4.5 qts if filled to the very brim. However, you could never cook any thing in it, or even move it without spilling if it was filled with that much liquid. Although technically it measures 4.5 qt, it's working capacity is less.

I purchased a red Lodge 4 quart Dutch oven in December 2012, and the color is identical to the photo.

Yes, mine is a 4.5 qt, as stated in another comment use as a 4 qt you do not want to over filled it. This one I bought does not state on the bottom whether it is a 4 or 4.5 qt.

I have not measured the exact size and unpackaged it without taking note of this number. It IS a very nice small Dutch oven. I have bought several and made gifts of several. We love them.

Yup. I have an old 4 quart Revere Ware one which is nice but too small for most published recipes. 6 quart is fairly standard.

You could probably do it if you knew what you were doing, but I do know that Lodge sells flat bottom dutch ovens. You may want to look at those first.

I did I bought 2 off amazon. Both lodge brand one has a pic of lodge cast iron with a pie in it. That has great recipes. There is also a cast iron or Dutch oven www that great recipies. I think it might be Dutch oven dudes. Or something close. But amazon had the best prices for cook where & books. You can also get great used books on here...

Mine is 7 1/4 inches at the top and about 5 1/4 inches at the bottom (it tapers) and 3 inches tall. It is really too small for my 5-quart cast iron Dutch oven. I should have gone at least the next size larger. My Dutch oven is about 9 5/8 inches at the top, about 8 1/4 inches at the bottom, and 4 inches tall. I hope that helps some. It should fit your 4-quart sauce pan better than my Dutch oven.

i agree with the other answer. this round wide dutch oven is perfect. so easy to clean and use.

I have a Lodge 10 1/4 skillet and this Lodge dutch oven/skillet combo. You'll be pleased to know the skillet lid will fit perfectly on your 10 1/4 skillet.

If you remove the wire bail handle, you might have trouble handling the pot, because the remaining handles are small.Lodge makes an identical Dutch oven with two big loop handles on the sides instead of the wire bail handle. Trade yours in for that model instead, or buy a new one and give yours to a friend who will enjoy it.

I have the 5-quart Lodge Dutch oven and would say it's the ideal size for no-knead bread. I just made a loaf of the Lahey bread (using 3 cups flour) in it, and I wouldn't want any bigger pan for it. It turned out perfectly. Also, the 5-qt. Dutch oven is as heavy as I'd want to deal with removing from a hot oven. I think the 7-qt. would also work, but you don't really need one that big for making the bread recipe.

I have never made this recipe, however I went on line, reviewed the recipe and noticed it calls for the oven to be preheated to 450 degrees. This pot is not recommended for temperatures higher than 350 degrees. Might I suggest you look into purchasing a cast iron or cast aluminum 6 quart covered Dutch oven.

I'm still deciding whether to buy this... Looking at the very different answers for how wide this oven is -I'm assuming the wider is measured with those black 'feet' that stick out beyond the sides (to keep a good distance from other things I suppose.. ) Is this correct?

Very sadly, I just realized that the initial post was in 2008, the one reply was in 2009, it's now 2012 and still neither Amazon nor Cuisinart have come forward with better information! I just bought the 8 quart Multiclad and can firmly say that the diameter is about 10" and the height/depth is 8". It's a pretty flat pot - like a dutch oven. It was too small for my needs, so I'll be trying out the 12 quart.

I bought this item 2 years ago because it was being discontinued. I already had a smaller version of the dutch oven and ordered this model to replace it. I believe it was being discontinued to be replaced by the 1000 series. This is a quote from Tramontina: "New manufacturing techniques combined with improved materials and design have revitalized old world cooking traditions to offer superior product performance and versatility for an exceptional cooking experience." They may have made changes to the material used or the enamel bonding process. I'm not sure exactly. The design of the 1000 series on their website looks like the sides may be less sloping than my model. I suppose you could email Tramontina and ask what the changes are. I like my model and use it often. It has held up well. I do hand wash it as directed.

Hi! It was advertised as 12, then 10, then 12 qt. I wanted it so I didn't care, though I think it is a sleazy practice! It is only 10 qt, but is a good looking item and does what they say it will.(And "10 qt" is indeed stamped on the bottom). And I bet the "new" one I see advertised is also a 10 qt! Good luck!

Beware, it is not a 6 quart, it's a 5 quart pan. I returned mine because I was looking for a 6 quart.

I don't know but I have 2 large iron Dutch ovens on it and a full set of stainless and it's fine!

I'm sorry Melissa, I don't know the answer to that question. I called them and they were very helpful, but weren't even positive about my Dutch oven.Don
