In 2019, cast iron juggernaut Lodge released the “Blacklock” line of cookware, a lighter, more refined (and more expensive) line of products named for the original Blacklock foundry purchased by company founder Joseph Lodge in 1896. As a bona fide cast iron fanboy, I was pretty excited to test out their Dutch oven, which retails for $150, when Lodge headquarters sent me one a few weeks ago.
The issue is that my girlfriend already has a Le Creuset oval Dutch oven in honey yellow (currently on sale at Sur La Table for $307.96). She loves that pot, for good reason: It’s an incredibly well designed piece of cookware. We had already planned on eating pot roast, and she was set on using hers. Ever the diplomat, I suggested a simple solution: We make two pot roasts. Twice the deliciousness, everyone wins, and then we compare pot roasts (we’ll find out how much trouble I get in for writing this article).
