Lodge enameled cast iron makes a smart choice due to it is versatility-you may marinate raw meats in it, since it won’t absorb odors or flavors, and you may braise, sauté, simmer, and bake in it. Made in China to Lodge’s meticulous specifications, each cookware item is introductory clad in matte black enamel before the color is added. The black rim that shows on the oven is genuinely the scratch-resistant matte enamel, not the raw cast iron.
