This review is from: Calphalon Enamel Cast Iron 8 Quart Dutch Oven, Cabernet Red (Kitchen)
Recently received and used the product. This is my second Calphalon dutch oven. I have a number of other Calphalon cookware products and have had generally good to excellent experience with the products after several years of use. Purchased this one because of design and reasonable price compared to the very high cost of the product from the major, and most famous, French manufacturer. The 8 qt dutch oven is quite large and heavy, but this is necessary for cookware of this type. The design is fits well in all settings , but I think is particularly sharp in a contemporary style kitchen. It does its' job well. The finish is rich and it cleans up well with a non-abrasive scrubber pad or Bartender's Friend. I have made a large batch of chili twice, several Indian casserole type dishes, and oven baked a chicken. All turned out very well. I have no complaints to date. Would definitely purchase again and recommend to others who are seeking a good product at the 'sweet spot'...Read more

I had this Dutch Oven for 2 years when the inside layer of Enamel exploded all over me and my daughter while we were cooking. Had oil in the pot over med heat when it started smoking and suddenly burst into tiny slivers of sharp enamel and drops of hot oil. We got several minor burns and nicks from the incident. I do not recommend this product. At all.

My husband got me this dutch oven for Christmas, and I love it. So far I've only used it for chili and soup--haven't yet tried it in the oven, but I'm sure it will work great for roasting as well. The price is much more affordable than the Le Crueset ones I've been coveting...
