Loved the item. I was in a hurry and against my better judgement ran it thru dishwasher. Disaster. Cant tell if exterior finish is ruined or there is an extremely thick hard water film covering exterior that I cant get off. Nothing else in dishwasher had this problem. Really disappointed and confused.

My wife has been on my butt for years to get a Dutch Oven like her Mom has. They both love it. They both use it as a covered pot is the oven. Any pot my wife has would do the same job. Her Crock pot will do the same job. She loves the presentation. I do not care. To me it is just another kitchen thing that needs stored the other 350 days a year. However I Love her. She is a great Wife, Mom, Cook, Baker, Domestic Engineer, ect. It is one of her non-romantic Christmas gifts this year. Merry Christmas to you.

I was so excited to get my Dutch Oven delivered. I knew it was hand wash only, a disadvantage, but too good of a price to pass up. The Use and Care Instructions "recommend seasoning the vessel rim and lid rim where the cast iron is exposed." The instructions do not say the seasoning must be repeated. It also says to "avoid knocking utensils on the cookware", "as this may permanently damage the enamel surface." At least I didn't pay much. I will see how long it lasts.

I bought this to replace my Le Creuset dutch oven because the Le Creuset had chipped. I could not be more pleased as it is larger than the one I replaced. I was so pleased that I bought four more as gifts. It is an incredible value and cleaning is a breeze.

Used one month. Cooks evenly. The enamel is chipping off the pot. Very disappointing.

I like this so much I ordered another one for my daughter.

Ordered two, and love them. Food don't stick. Will order another one.

Works better than I'd imagined . Price is simply unbeatable.

Excellent product for a Dutch oven cooker. I purchased 2. Thank you

Food cooks in half the time and clean up is a breeze!
