Extra large pot cooks evenly and holds heat well. It makes an excellent soup pot. Awesome for slow cooking. Use silicone or wooden utensils (preferably silicone). Wash pot after cooking so that it doesn’t get stained. Avoid harsh scrubbing pads.

If you want a cast iron dutch oven, this is the product. Very heavy as a true cast iron. You will never buy another in your life. Great value to. Bought on one day special.

I have the more expensive brand and this beautiful pot is almost identical. I bought one for myself and then went back and bought one for each of my college kids for Christmas! We use it on our induction countertop stove. It's great!

I'm in love with this duch oven! From chillies to stews comes out wonderful. I would definitely recommend buying this for a gift or for a treat for yourself as I did... Just remember to wash it by hand!

Nice looking pot which I am not ashamed to keep on stove top. I have a small kitchen with very little cabinet space. Pot cleans up well with minimum hot spots. Lit handle is metal so going from stove top to oven is no issue.

Gave as gifts last year, filled with foodie goodies. Bought extras for me! Gave more for Christmas this year. Purchased my first one 2 years ago. The original one has darkened inside at the bottom, but the exterior still looks like new! I have used it a LOT! It is my favorite pot. I lost a small bit of the ceramic glaze at the bottom of the pot one day when I added cold broth to a hot pot, but, other than that and the discolored bottom, it's looks and cooks like new. My extras are still in the box. LOVE this pot!

Love this dutch oven. It does not weigh nearly as much as the more expensive types, but it still is cast iron with a porcelain coating. In my opinion that's a win-win all the way around. With the LeCreuset dutch oven I can barely lift it to clean it, even when it's empty - this one is so much easier to handle, and for a fraction of the price!

About 3 years ago, our Sam's Club had them on display and I grabbed 2 of them for Christmas gifts for my daughter & daughter in-law. Now our granddaughter is getting married and she has asked for one for Christmas! Still can't believe that I can get one for $40.00 PLUS FREE SHIPPING! Just may order 2 and keep one for myself this time.

Seems very heavy and durable but already has rust near top seam where lid sits after one use. The inside is coated ceramic that stains very easily. The top rim where the lid sits on the pot is not coated, and rusts built up staining the ceramic around. I did not leave the pot in water. It rusted the first time I used it. Not happy with purchase, even though it was inexpensive.

I have had this dutch oven for a week and have used it twice. I enjoy making one pot wonders as I prep dinner and day after work lunch for my boyfriend during the week. The dutch oven makes things so simple and it is also so cute! The cleaning is so simple and nothing sticks to it. Get it, you won't regret it!
