How to Clean Lodge Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven

Would you believe me if I told you that hot water, a scribe brush, and some baking soda are everything you need to keep your enameled cast iron Dutch oven clean?

If you're like me and refuse to use toxic cleaners to remove stubborn stains, you'll love this method!

1.

Put your Dutch oven on a cooking surface and fill it with 2 cups of water. Add 4 tablespoons of baking soda.

Turn on the high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, then turn off the heat. Wait until the water reaches a temperature you are comfortable to work in.

3.

Use a scrub brush to tackle the stains.

4.

Get rid of the baking soda water (which is probably very dirty at this point) and fill it with warm soapy water.

5.

Clean off any remaining stains with a nylon scrubbing pad or non-abrasive sponge - just stay away from pads with metal wires or anything too abrasive.
