Crock-PotArtisan Oval Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven, 7-Quart, Slate Gray

This pot is visually striking! It’s just beautiful. The light colored interior is a plus for me because I am visually impaired so I can better gauge my cooking progress. The oval shape allows me to prepare soups, stews and bake bread in a loaf configuration. Also I get the benefits of cast iron without the care and maintenance of my traditional cast iron and carbon steel pans. And did I mention-it’s just pretty! It dresses up my kitchen a little. I really really wanted the purplish color-forget the name-but I saw this and loved it! I have not used it yet. Ha! That’s right. But I have others so I’m not just whistling Dixie OK? These cook amazingly well. Hold and distribute heat well. They clean up well but over time they do tend to stain and the enamel surface will chip on the exterior but won’t affect the cooking but they all do it-even the more expensive ones-not naming any names here but just saying. Now I’m not an authority on this, just sharing my more than 🧸 years of cooking experience. And if this particular item proves me wrong I’ll be back for a correction.

This product arrived damaged. I hope to be able to write a positive review when the replacement arrives. The return process is pretty straightforward. I am not sure why someone would take the time to tape the box, but not check to see if the product was damaged. Very puzzlingThe color is beautifulUpdated review.The replacement arrived in 2 days. The return process was super easy. The new Dutch oven is perfect. The finish is beautiful! I have 3 others, but I think this is my new favorite. The depth is much better for making sourdough bread, allowed bread to rise without hitting the lid. The finish makes cleaning much easier than my regular cast iron.

What a gorgeous piece of kitchenware I am so in love! Perfect for so many things, especially bread baking! I also own a 3 qt round one by Crock Pot they are really nice with wide bottoms and flat sides for maximum cooking surface area. The lid is nice and heavy-duty, well fitted and features basting spikes as well. Unfortunately I, like so many others on here was originally sent a USED and DAMAGED Dutch oven. The box was in shambles and the enamel had multiple chips in it. These chipped areas will be prone to rusting and I was especially unhappy to have been clearly duped by Amazon claiming this product was "new". I of course reported the damage and requested a replacement. The new replacement oven is pristine and came in a minimally damaged box but still new in package at least. The price was great but you can't sell chipped things and call them new. But super happy with the replacement and I will enjoy this piece for decades to come :)

This Dutch oven is the perfect size for almost any meal. The color is great too.

Great looking piece the colors are amazing.It’s our go to pot for frying fish and chicken, perfect for soups and chili as well

So disappointed this arrived in such bad shape. Not packed properly at the warehouse. But I was impressed with the quality of this Dutch oven. I may try and order again and hope for a better result. This was an Amazon warehouse deal and it may have had some chips before shipping but with no packing material around it on this shipment to me, it didn't fare well at all.

Good size for families and best shape for making bread. No issues with chipping after cooking many meals and loaves. Heavy and solid.

I use it to make sourdough all the time, and it rocks! I will definitely use it for making soups when we get into colder weather again. It’s durable and sturdy. It cleans up really easy too!

I bought the teal and it is stunning. Great for roasting chickens or any braising. Very easy to clean too. I love how it looks and it stays displayed in my kitchen. It is very heavy so feels very substantial. Or hung against the other more expensive brand. This feels like the exact same quality to me.

Excelente olla y bastante grande

Según America's Test Kitchen quedó en el tercer lugar en sus pruebas (aunque ellos probaron las redondas y yo la elegí ovalada). Pero tiene más puntos en durabilidad que su número dos y el número uno el Le Creuset. La diferencia es el espacio en el fondo para poder sofreír tandas de carne por ejemplo. Yo prefiero que dure más el esmalte, la verdad es que es muy bonita y ya hemos cocinado con ella, funciona perfectamente, se lava facilísimo. Estamos encantados. El precio no se puede comparar con la marca del primer lugar pero su funcionamiento es equivalente. Así que fue una excelente compra. Ya veremos en unos 5 años.

This is a quality enameled cast iron pot which works flawlessly on our induction range. The heat is distributed evenly in this cast iron pot, it keeps cooking times to a minimum, excellent for slow cooking. And cleaning this pot is a breeze. This is a heavy pot so care is needed if your range has a glass or ceramic top. It also works great in the oven. It can be washed in the dishwasher, but I would recommend hand washing. Great product at a great price.

Es una buena opción, se puede usar en estufa y horno
