This is a stainless steel replacement knob for Lodge Color enameled dutch ovens.
Why should you care?
Well, of course, if you need a replacement knob for your Lodge color enameled dutch oven.
But I have a different reason: My current knob on my enameled dutch oven is perfectly fine, but it's the old style knob.
The old style knobs were made of black phenolic plastic; As a result, the enameled dutch ovens were only oven safe to 400 degrees.
Two years ago, they switched to the stainless steel knobs, making the enameled dutch ovens oven safe to 500 degrees.
Personally, I'd rather have a pot that's oven safe to 500 degrees.
So I was happy to learn that I would not have to buy a new enameled dutch oven, in order to improve it's oven safe temperature. I can just get a replacement knob.
Granted, I'd prefer another color, but the red one was on sale, and I care more about the food, than the color of the pot.
In addition to improving their knob, they came out with two additional colors for their 6 quart pots.
So, if you have a Lodge Color enameled dutch oven, check the knob.
If the knob is black, it's only oven safe to 400 degrees. If it's stainless steel, it's oven safe to 500 degrees.
