I bought this because I have always wanted a Dutch oven. I got a little Christmas money, and I actually used it for myself. I bought this because it had good reviews. I got it out of the box and there was only a small bubble on the edge of the lid, but no big deal, it was inexpensive and I didn’t expect perfection. I followed the instructions on the box and oiled the cast iron edges of the lid and pot. Put it in a 350 degree oven for one hour. I cried when it came out. The whole lid and pot discolored a yellow oil buildup. I was devastated. I tried using baking soda and barkeepers friend but nothing would take it off. It’s ruined. Please learn from my experience. I don’t know how you will season it, but I used canola oil.A very light coat. It ruined it. It usable but very ugly and looks 40 years old when it’s brand new. I can’t afford to buy much being disabled and living on Social Security, so this is a huge deal for me. I’m writing this with tears in my eyes. It’s how upset I am. Good luck. I would buy a different one if I were you.

I bought this a year ago and I am still loving it! It's a great staple in the kitchen and it is still in great shape. I have used it on the stovetop for soups and stews as well in the oven for braising meats and other dishes. I might buy one this year for my daughter.

Wife loves it. She has made several dishes which could not be done as well in any other pan.

The pot chipped first time use when making bread in the pot.

I like it, good quality and not hard to clean.

This was going to be a gift. It arrived cracked. I will have to return .

Requires some seasoning on the rim of the top and bowl. Works well for baking bread.

Item exactly as described, great product great price.

Seems like a good pot but it's VERY heavy.

Love this brand & love the color
