both are French made high-end beautiful uh they come in a variety of colors and shapes and sizes and both have a reputation for fantastic cooking performance and they're often similarly priced

so for me as a home cook that difference between light interior and dark interior is more of a nuance it is not a big fat hairy deal as they say and I can turn out delicious food in either Dutch oven

2 lbs of beef in each Dutch oven and I can't tell any difference in the Browning between the two

the stove and Lake crus produce virtually identical batches of week night chili

so should you buy a stove or a lake ruset instead of agonizing over the decision the choice that made me the happiest was not one or the other but at least one of each

what this illustrates is that the d3 has good heat conductivity that aluminum core spreads the heat really well here you can see that the okra is sizzling and frying edge to edge

the 12 inch model easily holds four boneless pork chops you could probably get a fifth in there if you wanted to and you see that the pan produces nice even browning

these stainless steel d3 actually produce nice non-stick bacon the way you get non-stick bacon in stainless steel is simply to start the bacon off in a cold pan give it an early flip and then cook it as normal and it's non-stick

i note that these two steaks are over a pound each and they fit in this 12 inch d3 nicely and the pan maintained a sear i give those a good two minutes or so on the first side look at that crust that's a very nice crust

it is nice to see the Lodge USA made Dutch oven competing nicely with the stove and I think this beef bergen was equally delicious in both.

the oil temperature only dropped down to about 342. So that is not much of a drop in temperature at all. And then of course it rebounded on up.

So there's a lot of heat trapped in that thermal mass of a lodge and I think it did a great job.

It's winter time in Utah at the moment and I've been using these lodges to crank out some shephardd's pies and they've turned out fantastically.

this field cranked out an absolutely delicious [music] grten with no sticking on the potatoes.

Butter potatoes. Those brown up pretty nicely and they did not stick. That's a good thing.

But the field did okay here and I think it helped with the browning that both the potatoes and the okra, they get moved around a little bit.

I think you did an okay job with bacon. Just a little bit of pulling on there, but the um the card says uh bacon can actually stick a little bit early on. So, with that in mind, I think it did uh just fine. I started it out in a room temperature pan, brought it up to heat, some early [music] flips, and mostly…

Um I mentioned that the pan doesn't have as much thermal mass as maybe some other cast irons or carbon steels for that matter, but I am still getting a good sear and browning here.

And I think one of the reasons I've had so much trouble with eggs in that field is that um those grooves, they uh I think they have not filled in yet and um they're kind of gripping food a little bit when I try and slide it around.

There is [music] a very tiny uh ring around the bottom of the pan which makes it sit up just a little bit. It's barely even noticeable. The Brevel has a temperature sensor in the middle of the cooking surface there and it has to stick up and make contact [music] with the bottom of a pan. Um there's also a logo here in…

Uh, no matter what I tried, I was getting, um, different essentially different cooking zones. I couldn't get the pan heated very evenly and I would put an egg in and sometimes um, part of an egg would stick and part would slide and the egg would come apart. And I think that's because the pan is not heated evenly and…

This uh 10-in pan um I had to work in two batches.

It's [music] um too narrow to lay out strips of supermarket bacon, but it will hold four if you cut them in half.

Let's talk a little bit more about that uneven heating though here. Uh you can really see it with these grilled cheese sandwiches. Give them their first turn there. And you can definitely see where one half of the grilled cheese is toasted and the other uh the butter is melted, but there is no toasting on there. So,…

I've also made some breaded squash and zucchini. And I like these for testing pans because I can lay them out all around the pan. Then when I flip them, I can tell if they're hotter or cooler spots. You can definitely tell that um some of these zucchini are much browner than the others.

And it's just a little bit more uneven and a little bit more difficult to cook in this pan than some others I have reviewed.

And after doing a ton of work on the seasoning and doing a lot of cooking, circling back to eggs, and I got this. And I got to say, I have never seen that [laughter] fried egg before. It's almost like uh orbiting almost like a planet or something. I don't know if that counts as half of a fried egg. never had um a…

And finally, I got to where I found that, uh, just trying different temperatures, if I went really, really low, um, I could get an egg to release, and this is after three or four minutes of setting up very, very slowly.

The problem here is that the Chinese-made model cost about $90 and it's been in that price range for years. And I think that price is anchored in the minds of the consumer. And that's what the consumer expects a Lodge enameled six court Dutch oven to cost. It's tough to change that.

The upside there though is that um they are closing these out and you can get some deals on these, but you're going to have to jump on them because they're not going to be around forever.

So you got the L Crusade over 400. You got the stove around 300. You've got the Lodge USA model a little less than 200. And then that Chinese made Lodge a little less than 100. And that makes a lot more sense.

They are going to be discontinued, so there are some deals on them now.
