Not only a truly beautiful cast iron Dutch oven, but it's . . . well, it's cast iron, so it is perfect for cooking soups, stews, casseroles. It distributes the heat evenly during cooking process, so the food cooks evenly. The cast iron heats quickly, then cools quickly, and the enamel finish makes it so easy to clean. It is a very useful item for the kitchen, and looks good sitting on the shelf. I recommend it to anyone who cooks for a big family or who cooks big batches for freezing.

I can't give it 5 stars because it stains easily. I chose the 7 qt enamel cast iron dutch oven in pearl white. When I say it is BEAUTIFUL..believe me. Beautiful! The only downfall is that after cooking anything in it, it shows stains. So I give it careful attention when scrubbing away the stains as not to scratch or scuff the enamel. However, it does hold up to its claims...even cooking on low heat. Fast cooking on low heat...BEAUTIFUL. I wished I'd purchased the 3qt and 5qts as well at the sale price eventhough they didnt come in the pearl white...

I fought myself buying this because I couldn’t figure out how I’d use it. Silly me! I have used this many times in just theee weeks. I use it on the glass cooktop, in the oven and even used it to hold a centerpiece! It is well made and cooks evenly. Remember to use a hot mitt to remove the lid as the metal knob does get hot.

I’ve started baking sourdough bread. This Dutch oven is the perfect size pot. I am pleased with the diversity of this pot. I can bake my bread perfectly - make a stew - soup - pot roast - or chicken in this Dutch Oven to name a few. Everything I have cooked using this pot has turned out just as I wanted. I feel this is a pot to have in every kitchen!

This is a beautiful piece.it is a deep, rich blueceith a cream colored interior. I have used it about 3 times since receiving it. I sprayed it with a good quality precooking spray before using and after cooking stewand then spaghetti sauce it cleaned up effortlessly. It cooks evenly and works on my induction cook top. I am going to try it in the oven tomorrow to make No Knead Bread . I can't wait to see how it performs!

This Dutch Oven is everything you hope for and then some,it performs superbly, thick walled,enameled cast iron, from searing to braising, it retains it heat. Comparable to much more pricier ones. It is even rated as a recommended buy in Cooks magazine. Have fun and enjoy all the benefits of awesomely cooked foods you will eat......

This dutch oven is quality. Very heavy and super functional. I can use it stove top or oven. I have purchased one for just about all of my family members. Giving a gift of a cleaning product or kitchen anything is usually a re-gift but not this item. The price for the value is over the top.

Beautiful cast iron enameled Dutch Oven. Retains heat evenly.

Love it wish it had a set

After I purchased I went right home and made a loaf of sour dough.
