User questions & answers

Question:	One of the reviews said you can't brown meat in this pot. Is that correct
Answer:	They are only spacers, like putting spacers between tiles. they keep the edges from rubbing together during shipment and I suppose you could continue to use them for that purpose, only I turn the lid over when i store my pots.
Question:	Is it made in the USA
Answer:	The diameter of this pan itself is approximately 12 inches across, and 2.5 inches deep. If you include the handles and the lid on top, the pan is 15.375 inches across and 4.75" inches tall.
Question:	Flat bottom suitable for glass top range
Answer:	This Tramontina Gourmet Series 1000 Enameled Cast Iron 7-Quart Covered Oval Dutch Oven (Item 80131/078DS) is made in China. Although this cookware is made in China, you will find the quality and performance to be exceptional. This cookware has been tested, and all food contact surfaces are FDA compliant - without any heavy metals, making this cookware safe for use in the kitchen. Tramontina requires its plant in China to follow the same strict regulations, processes and quality guidelines that their plants in Brazil use to manufacture cookware.
Question:	I followed the cleaning instructions and after 6mths of use the interior is not slick anymore and everything sticks is this normal?Is there a warranty
Answer:	I think there might be, but the purchase I made was of the smaller/average size round “wells”.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the diameter of the area that actually touches the burner (on a flat induction cooktop
Answer:	The bottom is 9", but part of that includes the curve between the bottom of the pot and the sides so only about 8" would actually be touching the stove surface.When you reverse the "lid" to be a frying pan, 8" would be touching the stove surface.
Question:	can it be used in a 500 degree oven to bake bread
Answer:	Even though you may not BAKE bread at 500 degrees, it is a good idea to preheat the oven and cast iron up to 500 to compensate for heat loss when you open the oven. I typically turn oven down to 450/425 after I've placed the dough and covered. The preheating seals the crust and allows for a good steam.
Question:	Exact dimensions
Answer:	Handle to Handle width: 12 5/8"Non-handle width: 10 5/8"Depth including lid: 6 1/4"Depth without lid: 4 1/2"Depth of lid including lip: 1 7/8"
Question:	what is best way to re-season the lodge logic l8dd3 before using it
Answer:	I'm a bit late for you, but for anyone else who comes along wondering ...Wash well with hot soap and water when you get it home. Then dry it. Then put it on the stovetop on a low heat for a good 10-15 minutes to thoroughly dry the pores, while preheating oven to 350-400. Coat VERY thinly with a HIGH-smoke point oil (grapeseed or flax seed oil). Stick it in the oven, upside down (protect bottom of oven in case you've put too much oil on) and bake for a good hour. Turn off oven and leave pan in oven until cold. You can/should repeat as often as you want initially, up to about 6 times (if you stay aware of the pan, you can remove from oven while still warm to apply another THIN coating of oil, if not then start at the heating pan on stovetop point - best to apply oil to a warm or hot pan), but a couple to a few times should be enough if you're conscientious about applying oil to the heated dry pan after every use. (Oh, don't use soap again, just rinse or wipe out well after every use - using a scraper or hard brush if needed, then heat on stove). Eventually applying another coat of oil to the pan is something that only needs to be done every so often, and you'll have a beautifully seasoned pan without waiting for years! After cooking something greasy, I'd wipe out all the grease, heat the pan well wiping out the extra grease as it heats til pan looks dry. Not necessary to apply oil again since the bacon grease (or whatever) serves as a coating of oil.I have to admit, though, that I've never done the oven method, although I know it's highly recommended. Mostly because I have the time/patience to do it all on the stovetop (takes more babysitting and time). I've always PLANNED on doing the oven method, but it was summer when I got my first cast iron and didn't want to heat up the house. It worked so well for me, I've done all my pans that way. Now that it's winter, I may try putting a couple of my newer pans in oven, but most simply do not need it any longer.The reason I heat the pan on the stove every time after I rinse it is because there could be water vapor in the pores that I can't see. You need to dry that out before you season the pan! Besides, oil is applied better/easier to a warm/hot pan.Lastly, you ALWAYS want the pan to look dry after you've applied the oil. If you can see the oil, or the sheen from the oil, you've applied too much. Literally only takes a few drops! If you apply it too thickly, you'll probably end up with your seasoning flaking off down the road.If rinsing or scraping your pan isn't taking cooked on foods off, then you can use kosher salt as an abrasive. Toss it into the pan (I like to do it while it's warm), and wipe over the spot hard with a towel. It's worked for me every time, though I rarely get stuff cooked on (usually will happen if my daughter cooks since she's new to cooking). Worst case scenario - if you've done the seasoning recommended above, you cannot hurt the pan by boiling water in it for a few minutes, till the cooked on stuff softens. BUT ... you MUST then season the pan, on the stovetop at least!Hope this helps someone!

User questions & answers

Question:	what is the diameter of the top of the 3.75 qt one
Answer:	It depends on how much water you drink. The water will start tasting different when it's time tu of change. I have to replace it about every three months.
Question:	How much does the 6 qt. Dutch oven weigh
Answer:	I'm not sure about the shelf life. Never thought about it and you bring up a good point. I usually buy the 8 or 12 pack because we need to change out the filters every three weeks. I actually have two large, 23 cup dispensers. One is in the refrigerator, and other is left out for cooking, so we go through them quickly. One thing about the one not in the refrigerator - it does start to develop a moldy smell, I suppose from the moist condition of the filter and room temperature combined. I wash it out regularly as a result. I read other reviews stating the same problem with the larger dispensers that are left out of the refrigerator, so I suspect the problem is universal and not specific to this product. Customer service is excellent, so if you would like to call them and ask, I'm sure they would be more than happy to answer. (800).503.2939.
Question:	Why did you choose this over the lodge brand
Answer:	i ordered a 4 pack of filters. When I opened the sealed white plastic wrap, and opened the top, the filter was WET...I decided to put it on my unit and use it anyway, but tested it before consumed..the reading was "69"...I am returning the entire 4 filters and will deal only with zero water company directly.
Question:	What color is the nob
Answer:	Does this filter fit the ZJ-003-IS water cooler kit?

User questions & answers

Question:	Just received my dutch oven in the mail. It is peeling around the edge and on the handle. What is this and what do I do about it? Thanks in advise for any/all advise
Answer:	Sounds like the "preseasoning" is wearing off- no biggie, because their preseasoning's really no substitute for good ol' fashioned home seasoning. Give it a nice scrub (without soap, just water and elbow grease), dry it well, oil it up, and run it in a 350F oven for awhile, to start the seasoning process again. Over time, it'll get even better, with use and subsequent oilings and heatings. Alternatively, you could send it back, but really, you'd have to do this same process with a "perfect" one- there's nothing wrong with it, so long as it's not pitted with rust, or cracked. :) Congrats on your purchase- you'll be amazed at how many things you'll use it for.
Question:	Is this 7-quart Dutch oven the best size for Jim Lahey's Perfect Bread recipe
Answer:	I have the 5 quart and have made several loaves of bread in it. The recipe I have calls for 3 cups of flour. Perfect size oven for that size recipe. Haven't had one single loaf of bread stick to the pot. If you might want a larger pot for other cooking, you might prefer the 7 quart, otherwise, as others have said, 5 quart should do. It's a heavy pot, so a 7 might be more awkward to remove from oven.
Question:	IS THIS MADE IN USA
Answer:	Yes. All Lodge non-enameled cast iron cookware is made in the USA. On the other hand, Lodge enameled cookware, which this product is not, has to be manufactured out of country. It is my understanding that the enameling process is not allowed in this country. Anyway, rest assured, this product is fine.
Question:	Can anyone give me the inside diameters at the top AND bottom for this? I want to use it with an existing fry basket and I need to make sure it will fit. Thanks
Answer:	Oven measure 11.75" at the top, and 9" at the very bottom. However, the bottom is rounded at the edge, so it measures 10" about 1/2" above bottom. Total depth is 5".

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the right size? No more than 4 people camping but 8 or so for-party. Bigger is better
Answer:	Let me start by saying I'm not sure. Do you have any specs on the YAGI or Uniden? The thing to watch for in particular is the resistance. Also, how long of a run is this? At 25' you're likely to get away with it even if not totally to spec. RG6 is well shielded and should easily handle the frequencies involved.
Question:	How much does it weigh

Answer:	Our prices are updated, the 25 feet 2 pack is $13.99, 200 feet is $16.99.
