As someone who proudly collects Dutch ovens in every color and brand imaginable—from everyday workhorses to elite pieces like Le Creuset and Staub—I have to say, this 6-quart blue beauty absolutely holds it’s own. The vibrant color is a stunner on my stovetop and the heavy-duty construction makes it feel like it should cost twice as much. The stainless steel knob is a classy and practical touch, and the pot retains heat like a champ. I’ve used it to back crusty breads, shimmy hearty stews and soups, and even slow-roast a whole chicken—and everything comes out perfectly cooked. The interior is smooth and easy to clean, and the size is generous enough for a big batch of chili or a family-style mac-and-cheese.

This dutch oven is well worth the price! This was the first time I bought from this brand and I am forever a loyal user now. The quality of the interior surfacing on this dutch oven is nice, as is the outside color even with repeat weekly baking. The pan is durable and really easy to clean. I make sourdough bread weekly in this at 450 degrees, and when lined with parchment paper for berry incorporated breads, the clean up is an uber simple point 3 seconds. But, when I was learning, I left the parchment paper out. The blueberries that baked inside the oven looked like they totally marred and stained the bottom. I was so relieved I was quite wrong! They came right off the enameled surface with just a simple hot water and wood spatula scrub! This dutch oven is a little heavier, I think, compared to the other two brands I've used, but it is my go to for everything baking related now. It's possible still to maneuver it just fine in and out of the oven with enough room for a second one next to it (... which means I need another one!)My husband loves this pot for making his beef stew. It's great for his chili as well.The handles are sturdy, the lid is easy to take off mid bread bake in the oven, and this will last for many, many years. I like the capacity at 6 qt for baking and my husband and I will use it for larger meal preparations. Great addition to the kitchen.

Great Dutch oven! Sturdy and heavyweight and heats quickly. Cleaned up nice and easy, good instructions on care and use included. Also fun colors to choose from!

Beautiful and easy to clean. It’s very heavy, which is actually awesome because it’s super sturdy. It holds a lot…awesome for our family size. I love that you can use it stovetop or in the oven and it came with these little pot protector pieces so the lid doesn’t chip the pot.

Very functional, cleans like a dream, beautiful appearance, great value for the price. I've cooked several loaves of bread at 450F and each time the enamel shows some new damage. It is not as high quality looking as some with several layers of enamel. However, great value as an introduction to enameled cast iron. Love love love the self basting lid. I also love that the handle doesn't have any branding.

I recently purchased a cast iron pot, and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen tools. The build quality is excellent—thick, heavy-duty cast iron that retains heat incredibly well and distributes it evenly. I mainly use it in my micro-bakery for sourdough bread but it has been super useful in large batch soups, oatmeal and slow-cooked meals. The results are consistently flavorful and perfectly cooked.What makes this pot stand out is how well it maintains temperature after being removed from the heat source. It cools down slowly, which is perfect for keeping dishes warm during serving or when prepping meals ahead of time. The enamel coating makes cleaning much easier than traditional raw cast iron.The only downside is the weight—it’s quite heavy, especially when full—but that’s expected with cast iron. Just make sure you have good storage space and don’t mind a bit of heft when using it. Also because I chose the white pit there is some slight staining.Overall, this cast iron cooling pot is a great investment for serious home cooks who value durability and excellent heat retention. Highly recommended!
