This Dutch oven is lightweight and made to slow-roast meats and simmer soups and stews.
With “02” cast into the iron, the Blacklock Dutch Oven celebrates the year Lodge debuted foundry-seasoned cast iron cookware – an innovation that’s now an industry standard.
Thanks to a special blend of iron, Lodge is once again reinventing cast iron cookware with Blacklock. This Dutch oven is lightweight and made to slow-roast meats and simmer soups and stews. The triple seasoned natural nonstick finish is made with 100% cooking oil which is baked onto the surface. This forms a protective layer that provides an easy-release finish. The more you cook with this skillet the thicker the natural seasoned surface (patina). This helps in food release and creates natural flavours.
From the Lodge foundry, the new Blacklock pieces are at least 25% lighter, so they are easier to lift, carry and handle and triply seasoned, creating naturally non-stick heirlooms to enjoy for generations. The Blacklock pans are lighter due to an innovative new variation of alloys and thinner walls, which, still provide the same great durability and heat retention and distribution you have come to know from Lodge. There is no compromise on results here! Blacklock cast iron is also triple-seasoned which provides a better non-stick surface, exceptional flavour and a simplified clean-up. You can expect exceptional food released straight from the box! Lastly, Blacklock cast iron also features longer, ergonomic handles which stay cool longer and allow for a better grip and better control.
Features:
- Generous cooking capacity (5.2L)
- Triple-seasoned for a natural non-stick finish
- Thinner cast construction – 30% lighter than the original Lodge Cast Iron.
- Extended, raised handle stays cooler for longer
- Basting rings recirculate moisture as food cooks
- Raised, high-heat aluminium knob provides easy lift
- Made in South Pittsburgh, Tenn., USA

Blacklock was established in 1896 when Joseph Lodge settled in Tennessee. When the Blacklock foundry burnt down in 1910 he rebuilt it down the road with his family name, Lodge Manufacturing. Lodge Cast Iron has been around now for over 120 years! Now coming out of the Lodge foundry is the newest line, Blacklock, going back to the company’s origins and beginnings.
Blacklock is a superior cookware range that won’t date or deteriorate. In fact, Blacklock gets better with age as the surface creates a patina that helps in food release and creates natural flavours. Owning a lifelong piece of cookware has never been so easy! Blacklock offers all the benefits of cast iron. Its durability, great heat retention and distribution, versatility and its sustainable construction.
You now might be wondering… “Then what is the difference between Lodge Cast Iron Cookware and their new Blacklock range?” Well… each piece of Blacklock piece remembers an important milestone for Lodge Cast Iron (explained in this Blacklock Blog post). The construction of how these pieces are made however differs again.
