I use this cast iron often - it heats evenly - super easy to clean and I've not had any negative problems with it - yes, there are scratches in bottom from my metal spoon but it hasn't changed the cooking levels - surprisingly, food has not stuck to the scratched areas. Every few months I will spray oil in this and store it. This is very heavy. I would like one in every color and I'd like the smaller one as well (in every color) I'd like to see them come out with a burnt orange color I just bought 1 of these for my daughter in law because I saw they had it in purple which is her favorite color. If I ever have to replace, I'll buy this one again

I’ve had my Dutch oven for a year now, have the smaller of the set to my mom, and we both LOVE this thing. I have used it for everything and am about to purchase two sets for my daughter in law and niece. And they are very nice to look a as well. Highly recommend. The only possible downside is they are a little heavy but that’s probably what makes them so good.

I purchased this upon recommendation from a friend who loved hers. I have already used it to make some soups and the size is perfect to cook for our family of 5. I purchased the light blue because my first choice (golden-yellow) was out of stock, but the blue is very pretty and bright. I was, however, disappointed to find that the cover was slightly chipped at the edge exposing grey underneath. For the price its good just sad about the chip.

Saw this in store a few times and said I'll buy it another day. Last week I finally gave in. Best purchase ever. Tonight I made beef stew. This pot was perfect for searing the beef and slowly cooking the stew. It turned out so good. Pot has even heating. Nice sturdy and a lifetime warranty, can't go wrong for $40.

I have not used this dutch oven yet, but am very pleased with the style and overall appearance. I have several recipes that call for cast iron dutch ovens, I didn't want to have to season a pan and worry about rusting. This pan is excellent, will let you know how well I like it after I prepare a meal in it. It is extremely heavy but it has to be for oven cooking.

I have been wanting one of these for years, but as others have said in their reviews I couldn't justify the price. When it went on sale $10 off the time was right! The first thing I made was chicken and dumplings. In my other pot, I had to cook them for a long time and add thickening to boot. This pot thickened my dumplings within an hour. At dinner, my husband tried them and asked me what I did differently (besides the new pot). I said nothing. The chicken and dumplings had a richer flavor somehow and were amazing! I LOVE it!!!

The Dutch oven is awesome quality. It's pretty heavy though, so keep that in mind if you have any trouble picking up heavy items. I have arthritis and carpel tunnel/wrist issues, and I won't be able to get it in and out of the oven without assistance. And that's with nothing in it. It's still a very nice piece so I'm keeping it. Just get some help when I need it. Colors are super nice as well. Will most likely last a lifetime!

Beautiful in design, arrived quickly.

This is a large cooker that is hard to find for making larger quantities of food! Great quality!

Great quality at an amazing price
