4.7 Litre Cast Iron Dutch Oven (5 Quart) | Pre-Seasoned Casserole Pot with Lid & Skillet Pan Top | Oven Safe & Suitable for All Hobs | Ideal for Bread Baking & Camping

This pot is naturally heavy and takes some heating up before use, as is recommended in recipes but that is normal for a pot that gives consistent and even heating! The lid is so useful as a skillet. We used it for baking no-knead bread. It tolerates a very good rise! We lined it with parchment. The beauty is that, with a pot like this, you can open the fan oven to look but the thickness and material hold the heat to prevent the collapse that one can get by opening the door mid-way. One thing is that you must wipe it out, wash it up only in hot water only and dry it quickly. Give a thin wipe out with say olive oil, and it is ready to roll next time. We had no problem with the casserole part but the lid had slight rusting appearance where it retained moisture when we left it to dry naturally. Lesson learnt. One is so used to everything being modern, easy clean and dishwasher proof that it takes a small adjustment. We can see it as a useful container for a slow cook stew, by adding some water under a smaller insert casserole and a huge family stew or slow roast. It just seems so well built. Yes, and the lid fits superbly well. In winter, with fuel prices as they are, in a modern house, it is great to have an AGA type, heat retaining item that provides heating as well as cooking without needing the space! We cannot have a chimney because of downdraught on our hill by the sea!

Really love this cooking pot! It is nice and heavy and so easy to clean. I don’t think there is anything better than cast iron pots and pans for cooking; they are healthier and last a lifetime. Another great feature was the price, amazingly low priced given the quality and size of the pot; food cooks more evenly, and tastes better. 10/10

Terrible item, rusting after two uses. It looks dirty no what I wash it with. The rust keeps coming back.If I could return it or get a credit it would help.

AMAZING piece of cookware. Before I get into the cast iron dish, the important thing here is you're actually getting TWO cooking products for the prize of 1 - the lid doubles up as another skillet - its amazing!! I used this first to cook scallops. As for the dutch oven - dont be put off by the size - its lightweight and extremely durable - I havent had a better casserole cooking appliance like this - its deep and enables you to make slow cooked or pan fried dishes easily. This isn't only for professional or confident cooks - this is for everybody. If you enjoy meal prepping, cooking meat + vegetables, saute, or even just making curries or special dishes with a durable and safe cookware, this is for you. I'm planning on using this in the summer on the BBQ, and judging by the other reviews, it looks like this will be a breeze for pulled pork or pre-marinated chicken. I think the fact this comes pre-seasoned is important, saves you faffing around trying to do it yourself. The cleaning instructions are important, make sure you follow them! Seller delivered quickly, items is well packed. I would recommend this for a present, your own kitchen or even in a business (if you have a restaurant). Looking forward to seeing what else they have coming out in this range.

I use a bio mass wood burner for cooking, heating and hot water. All the cooking pots, pans and griddles I use are cast iron. So I do understand the care process needed clean, oil and heat. But this superb looking Dutch over just rusts after the clean oil and heat process. Surely after several oilings the rust should stop coming through. Anyway it was cheap, worth a try and may work for some people but not for me. As usual Amazon issued a refund and taken back.

I have been baking sodabread since Lockdown and have struugled to get the crust and height right. I have only used this dutch oven twice but the end result is fantastic. My bread looks beautiful, has more height and the crust all over including underneath is perfect. Yes you have to take care of the cast iron, but it's so worth it. This will last forever, very pleased. I will use this for baking bread, casserols, frying etc. as there is a flat surface to the shallow piece. So versatile well worth the money. Definitely recommend this product.

Didn’t realise at the time but an oversight on my part that this one doesn’t have enamel interior . So I have ordered two more to replace it . It does the job but more work to keep it pristine

Wow. Having only just recently been introduced to the benefits of cast iron cookware I was keen to invest a bit more in this product. I have to say it was money well spent. As someone who comes from A big family and regularly used to cooking for big numbers this didn’t let me down. My 1st dish was a chicken curry, and as the product was pre seasoned I decided to cut down on any additional oil. My concern was the chicken could stick but didn’t have any issue at all. Next use was for my famous Bolognese sauce. Again no need for additional fat to lubricate the dish it worked an absolute treat and heat was conducted evenly throughout. One of my issues with other hardware in the past is sometimes while stirring I can be overly enthusiastic and the pan could move and spill. Due to the sturdy nature of this product that was never an issue. One side note it comes with a scrapper for cleaning but I’ve not had to use it. Very easy to clean. Fantastic product and I’ll be definite going down the cast iron road from now on.

Ottimo prodotto, rispecchia le caratteristiche scritte sono molto soddisfatto, Ottimi anche le presine che si inseriscono al momento del bisogno sui manici!

Una buena compra. Hacemos guisos,freimos.tapa utilizamos como sarten y va fenomenal, no se pega nada y es verdad que da otro toque de sabor a la comida.muy recomendable.hay gente que se queja de la olla.es verdad que hay que tener cuidado porque pesa y puede dañar placa de induccion,hay que secarla bien despues de lavarla y untarla con aceite.si se cuida las cosas como se debe durarar años

Alles bestens, danke.

Folks please don't buy . I noticed a hole at pots bottom in just a month. It's not good product guys

Très pratique ce 2 en 1 ! Mes premiers pains sont délicieux et j'utilise quotidiennement le couvercle comme poêle. Penser à bien culotter la cocotte avant le premier usage.
