It is good for the price. I don’t use this heavy Dutch oven often. So I didn’t want to spend money on the expensive French made ones. Mainly use it to make bread and meatballs. It does a decent job of retaining the heat and being oven safe. The coating has chipped off on some part of the vessel. The functionality still works. Just that it is less pleasing to the eyes now. If I was to use this on a daily/weekly basis, I would spend more money to purchase a vessel that would last longer. But for my monthly needs, the price makes it worth it.

I received as a gift at Christmas in 2020. I love this pot and use it for anything that I can. It heats well and cleans easily. The 7qt is the perfect size and height. I am looking for another one but see they are out of stock and cannot find them in the store either. Please bring it back.

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.

Do not like that edge if pot and cover need to be seasonef

I just used my dutch oven to cook a roast...OMG...Wonderful !!!

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.

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

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

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