Other websites such as Metrokitchen describe the capacity as 4.2 quarts, but most pressure cookers limit the amount of food or liquid to two-thirds the capacity.

Bill, I will have to get back to you on this. The Double Dutch Oven is my birthday present from my wife and I can't open it until tommorrow 3/4. Based on pressure cookers and slow cookers of similar size that we cook in, I would say the DDO is plenty big enough for most anything. The 7 quart would be good for cooking for large groups or making more then you need and freezing or canning it. You are dealing with almost 2 gallons of food and a pretty large bread loaf in the 7 quart.Harry

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

According to Lodge web site enameled dutch oven can handle oven temperatures of 500 degrees. So I do believe the L8D0L3 can handle 500 degrees also. You can always contact Lodge customer service and ask them to be sure.

Go to Fatdaddio.com and on their web site is a chart for all the pans and capacities. It is very useful!

The 8 quart dutch oven will supply you with plenty enough food for a party of 8 and camping with 4. I have had alot of large meals come out of my 8 quart oven. I also have two 12 quart dutch ovens and just 1 of the ovens will feed a small army. I have fed 3 familys ( 10 people ) at the same time with the 8 quart oven. I started out makeing my best meals with my old 8 quart. Hope this helps !!!

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.

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.

It is indeed oven safe to at least 350 degrees. I use this dutch oven quite often, in the oven and on my stove top. It is one of my favorite pieces of cookware because it is so versatile.

The capacity is one quart. For your second question..."Nothing" is really needed...It's just nice to have..Personally I prefer my Lodge cast iron pots...I have them in all sizes for all occasions, small group, medium group, large group....By the way I cook with propane gas..Regards, Roy

I refer to it as a Dutch Oven...and it is fantastic! They are usually much more expensive elsewhere - that's why I bought it at Amazon. It is very versatile - stove-top to oven. Cooks evenly and cleans easily. This is smaller than most Dutch ovens, so be sure of the size when you order...

Go their website and look at the FAQ section. I got batter capacities and baking info there.
