Amazon.com Review
There are lots of fancy cookware materials out there but cast iron still trumps them all with its even heating, heat retention, price, and duration. It's these traits that make Lodge cookware favored by both indoor chefs and campfire cooks alike. The caveat is being able to lift cast iron cookware and, at 8 pounds, this serving pot will give most chefs a workout. The pot measures 8 inches in diameter and 2-7/8 inches deep and comes with a matching 8-inch iron cover. The pot arrives ready to simmer up to 2 quarts of baked beans, soup, or stew and goes right from stovetop to tabletop for serving. While it usually takes years of cooking to burn on the prized finish that makes cast-iron cookware smooth and stick-free, the Logic line of cookware comes pre-seasoned to save you some work. Cast iron pots in this line are coated in a vegetable oil, which is then baked on in a hot industrial oven to obtain that blackened patina and silky surface. Logic cookware has plenty of fans, including the editorial staff at Good Housekeeping, who cited it as one of the best new products of the year at the 2003 Good Buy Awards. --Cristina Vaamonde

A single person's dutch oven. November 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love it. I don't know why it's a "serving pot" and not a dutch oven, but it functions just fine as one. Being a single person trying to stick to reasonable serving sizes, I find this pot to be ( as Goldilocks said) Just Right. The lid fits the Lodge 8" skillet too, and I like things that coordinate with each other. It has the self-basting points on the lid, clever and functional!
Lodge it top Notch June 13, 2008
Love it and it will love you back.
Cant beat a good seasoned piece of Cast Iron.
Its pre seasoned but that only a start. Years of use will give you a slick as glass practically non stick surface.
I have several pieces of cast iron and use them frequently and they are seasoned very well and I love to cook on them.
And forget about what you have heard, yes use dishwashing liquid when you need to. Just dont let it stay on there. Clean it and get it off your Iron and dry it well and wipe with a little shortning.(Old fashoned soaps had LYE and that will strip your seasoning, but modern detergent in small amounts quickly used will do no harm)
Heat the skillet till smoking and turn it off and let it stay on the burner till cool.
Wipe out any excess and your good to go and on the way to a favorite treasured item.
My favorite Lodge pot! June 8, 2008

This is my 'rice-cooking' pot. I make brown rice a lot, just for me, and it is perfect for cooking one to two cups of rice. The lid fits snugly so, after I have put the rice into the boiling water and stirred it, I can put the lid on, turn on my timer, and not touch it again until it is finished cooking. It comes out perfectly every time.
I, of course, appreciate the Lodge quality and the fact that it is still made in the USA. All my regular cast iron is Lodge.
This is just a wonderful size. I don't even put mine away anymore. I keep it out and, when not in use, I will put bananas, or other non-refrigerated produce or garlic, in it for cool storage.
fantastic 2 qt cast iron pot September 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I REALLY love this pot. This is a perfect pot for:
Korean soft tofu soup (for 1 or 2);
Korean bibimbap for 1;
Chinese hot pots (for 1 or 2);
Japanese oden stew (for 1 or 2);
any of the Chinese claypot stews (for 1 or 2);
very very handy for how I cook.
The cast iron is able to cook at a low steady temperature, and imparts a really nice flavor to the food that I couldn't get from plain stainless steel cookware or anodized cookware.
I really love mine. I am now looking to buy the 5 qt. dutch oven, so I can make my famous Chinese chicken soup!
a very versatile, very useful little kettle June 6, 2007

I've got several cast iron pots, pans, skillets, kettles and implements. Of them all, I find this little 2 qt mini Dutch oven to be particularly useful. Admittedly, if forced to choose, I'd go with the more versatile 5 qt. Dutch oven. But, this little 2 qt. "bean pot" has a lot of uses beyond just beans and such. It's a fantastic casserole, entree reheat and general cooking vessel for 2-3. For all of us that routinely cook for less than a mob, this is practically required gear, as it excels at small, sensible volume cooking of soups, stews, chilis and reheats: not to mention my favorite veggie dishes of everything from braised asparagus to zucchini. I would HIGHLY recommend this product as a second tier purchase if you've already got such other items covered as a decent 10-12" skillet and a decent larger stock pot/dutch oven. Heck, for that matter, this 2 qt jobbie may be all that you need until you need to serve a family. Let your situation be your guide. Either way, this is a most competent product for the niche it fills. You decide if it fills a niche you require.
