Hello, John -

You do not state if the chipped enamel is on the interior bottom or the exterior bottom of the Dutch oven.

Read the comments about chipped enamel on a Dutch oven here:

I have found advice stating an enamel chip can be repaired by using a food grade enamel repair kit. However, all the information I have found indicates that a "food grade enamel repair kit" cannot be found for purchase. Sigh . . .

If your Dutch oven is a Martha Steward brand, read this:

If your Dutch oven is a Le Creuset and is cast iron with an enamel coating, it may have a lifetime warranty, if you are the original owner. Read the warranty details here:

Choose "Cast Iron" and "Submit a Warranty Claim".

Best wishes.

Here's a link to a dutch oven. Dutch oven Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

According to Amazon, the dimensions are as follows: 15 inches in length, by 13 inches in width, by 9 inches in height/depth. It also weights 13.8 pounds.

In cooking a dutch oven is the original slow cooker. Usually made from cast iron, and can be used on top of a wood burning stove, in a wood burning fireplace, over a campfire, or with coal/charcoal. Some have domed lids, while others have a flat lid with a raised edge (aka flagged lid) which is idea for holding charcoal above the kettle. This allows for heat both above and below the dutch oven. These are generally available in stores such as Cabela's, BassPro and others.

Sometimes dutch oven are called slow cookers. They both have the ceramic pot but slow cookers tend to be electric, not for use on the stove or in the oven.

You can make so much in a dutch oven. I use mine to make chilli and soup mostly. But you can make all sorts of things like brisket, goulash and even french toast.
